Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the SUPER
DEFROST or AUTO DEFROST Chart or is above or below
the limits in the “Amount” column on the SUPER DEFROST
or AUTO DEFROST Charts (pages 17, 18), you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using POWER LEVEL 3. Follow the exact
4-step procedure found under To Set Power Level. Estimate
defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL 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 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 at 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.

.5 - 4.0 lb
(225 g - 1.8 kg)
After each stage, 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.
6. Chicken Pieces .5 - 3.0 lb
(225 g - 1.4 kg)

the warm portions with aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30 to 60 minutes.
8. Casserole

(240 ml - 2 L)
After audible signal, stir if possible. At end, stir well and let stand, covered, for
5 to 10 minutes.
NOTE FOR AUTO DEFROST: Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to
continue thawing. Do not defrost 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.
