Time Defrost
Allows you to defrost for a selected length of
time. See the Defrosting Guide on page 14 for
suggested times (Weight Defrost is explained
on page 12).
1
Press DEFROST twice for Time Defrost.
2
Enter defrosting time in minutes and seconds.
3
Press START.
Cooking will start when the countdown
begins in the display.
At one half of selected defrosting time, turn food
over and break apart or rearrange pieces for
more even defrosting. Shield any warm areas
with small pieces of foil. The oven will continue to
defrost if you don't open the door and turn the
food.
Noises may be heard during defrosting. This
is normal when oven is not operating at High
power.
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.
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.
For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Time Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted before
cooking.
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.
