Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for the length of time you
select. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.
Power level 3 is automatically set, but you may
change this for more flexibility. You may defrost
small items more quickly by raising the power level
after entering the time. However, they will need
more frequent attention than usual.
Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in
about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to
approximately 1/3. Rotate or stir food frequently.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during
defrosting. This sound is normal when the oven
is not operating at High power.
Defrosting Tips
s
For best results, place food directly on the
defrost rack and place the rack on the turntable.
s
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should be
slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has partially
defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at
least partially uncovered.
s
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.
s
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
s
For more even defrosting of larger foods, such
as beef, lamb and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.
s
Be sure large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
s
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.
