NOTE:
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may
still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice
crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the
food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover
edges and thinner sections of the food.

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or
is above or below the limits in the amount column on the Defrost Chart,
you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by
using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found
under To Set Power Level on page 18. Estimate defrosting time and
Touch Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is
approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for
1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions
that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power
Level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough
to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
