Time Defrost

Use Time Defrost to defrost for a selected length

of time.

Press the DEFROST button.

Turn the dial to select the time you want. Press

the dial to enter.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start

defrosting.

Turn the food over if the oven signals TURN

FOOD OVER.

Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be

changed. You can defrost small items quickly by

raising the power level after entering the time.

Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in

about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to

approximately 1/3. However, food will need more

frequent attention than usual.

A dull thumping noise may be heard during

defrosting. This is normal when oven is not

operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips



Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted

in the package. Closed packages should be

slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially

defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be

partially uncovered.

 Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be

defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil

container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

 Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to

sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.

Room temperature promotes the growth of

harmful bacteria.

 For more even defrosting of larger foods, such

as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure large meats

are completely defrosted before cooking.

 When defrosted, food should be cool

but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return

to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a

few minutes.

results for meats, poultry and fish.

 Remove meat from package and place

on microwave-safe dish.

Press the DEFROST button twice.

Turn the dial to the food weight,

using the Conversion Guide at right.

For example, dial 1.2 for 1.2 pounds

(1 pound, 3 oz.). Press the dial to enter.

Press the START/PAUSE button to start

defrosting.

Turn the food over if the oven signals TURN

FOOD OVER.

 Remove defrosted meat or shield warm areas

with small pieces of foil.

 After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5

minutes to complete defrosting. Large roasts

should stand for about

30 minutes.
