TIME DEFROST

Allows you to defrost for the

length of time you select.

See the Defrosting Guide for sug-

gested times. Power 3 is automat-

ically 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, this

may require more frequent

attention than usual.

Power level 7 cut the total

defrosting time in about half;

power level 10 cuts the total time

to approximately 1/3. Rotate or

stir food frequently.

At one half of selected defrosting

time, the oven signals TURN. At

this time, turn food over and

break apart or rearrange pieces for

more even defrosting. Shield any

warm areas with small pieces of

foil.

A dull thumping noise may be

heard during defrosting . This

sound is normal when the oven is

not operating at High power.

Defrosting Tips

• 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 been defrosted.

Plastic storage containers should

be at least 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, such

milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry

and pork, should not be allowed

to sit out for more than one hour

after defrosting. Room tempera-

ture promotes the growth of

harmful bacteria.

• For more even defrosting of

large foods, such as beef, lamb

and veal roasts, use Auto Defrost.

• Be sure large meats are com-

pletely defrosted before cooking.

• When defrosted, food should be

cool and softened in all areas. If

still slightly icy, return to the

microwave very briefly , or let it

stand a few minutes.
