(Auto Defrost explained in the section on
Quick Touch Features.)
Allows you to defrost for the length of time
you select. See the Defrosting Guide for
suggested times.
Power 3 is automatically 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, they will need more frequent
attention than usual.
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 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 as milk,
eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork,
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 large foods,
such as beef, lamb and veal roasts, use
Auto 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.
