poultry, fish, and bread. Use DEFROST
BY TIME for most other frozen foods.

slit, pierced or vented after food has
partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially
uncovered.

The power level is automatically set at
high, but you can change it for more
flexibility. See Microwave power levels
section for instructions.
n 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.
n 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.
n When defrosting 3 or more pounds
of ground or cubed meat, remove
defrosted portions at the turn
signals.
Power level is automatically set
at 3, but can be changed. To change
the power levels, see Microwave
power levels for instructions.
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 about
1/3. When defrosting at high power
levels, food will need more frequent
attention than usual and may have
some cooking.
