2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press Start/Pause.
When the oven signals, turn food over and
break apart or rearrange pieces for more even
defrosting. Shield any warm areas with small
pieces of foil. The oven will continue to defrost
if you don't open the door and turn the food.
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.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.
• 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.
• 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
for a few minutes.
If the weight of food is stated in
pounds and ounces, the ounces must
be converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.
