DRAWER MICROWAVE COOKING
7. After defrost cycle ends, cover and let stand as indicated in the chart below.
NOTE:
• Defrost can be programmed with MORE OR LESS TIME ADJUSTMENT. See page 21.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on the DEFROST CHART,
see MANUAL DEFROST below.
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to
continue thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use
small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

MANUAL DEFROST MANUAL DEFROST
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the
limits in the AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level at 30%.
Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL on page 13. Estimate
defrosting time and touch
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per
pound. For example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If
food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute
increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the
plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
Remove any thawed pieces after each audible signal. Let stand,
covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
After each audible signal, rearrange and if there are warm or
thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil.
Remove any meat or fish that is almost defrosted. Let stand,
covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
After each audible signal, if there are warm or thawed portions,
rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
After each audible signal, rearrange pieces or remove portions
should they become warm or thawed. Let stand, covered, for 10
to 20 minutes.
Start defrosting with fat side down. After each stage, turn roast
over and shield the warm portions with aluminum foil. Let stand,
covered, for 30 to 60 minutes.
After each audible signal, break apart and remove any defrosted
part. At end, stir well and let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
