About the features

Time Defrost

Time Defrost allows you to defrost for a selected length
of time. See the Defrosting Guide for suggested times.
1. Press Defrost twice (display must show Time
Defrost).
2. Enter defrosting time.
3. Press Start/Pause.
Power level is automatically set at 3, but can be
changed. 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 approximately 1/3. However,
food will need more frequent attention than usual.
A dull thumping noise may be heard during defrosting.
This is normal when oven is not operating at High
power.

Weight Defrost

Weight defrost automatically sets the defrosting times
and power levels to give even defrosting results for
meats, poultry and fish weighing up to six pounds.
1. Press Defrost (display must show Weight Defrost).
2. Using the conversion guide, enter food weight. For
example, press pads 1 and 2 for 1.2 pounds (1 pound,
3 ounces).
3. Press Start/Pause.
There is a cooking guide located on the inside front of
the oven.

Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic
storage containers should be 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.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking.
• 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.
• 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 for a few minutes.
Conversion Guide
If the weight of food is stated in pounds
and ounces, the ounces must be
converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.
