time cooking

99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the

keys .
5 0 0

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 Super Defrost or Compu Defrost
Charts on page 18, you need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by setting the Power Level to 30%. Follow the
exact 3 step procedure found under To Set Power Level.
Estimate defrosting time and press the POWER LEVEL key
eight times for 30% power.
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 spa-
ghetti sauce.
Always stop the microwave 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 microwave oven in 1 minute increments at a
Power Level of 30% until totally defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic, then place in
a microwave-safe dish.
