Defrosting
Tips
Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be defrosted in the package.
s For even defrosting, many foods
need to be broken up or separated
part of the way through the defrost-
ing time.
Homemade
dinners can be
frozen
in shallow foil trays and heated for
later use. (Do not heat on DOUBLE
DUTTM shelf.) TV dinners can be
microwaved using wire shelf if
metal tray is returned to box before
placing on wire shelf. Select foods
which microwave well.
Pre-packaged
frozen dinners can
be defrosted and microwave
cooked.
Check your Cookbook for other
defrosting tips.
Questions
and
Answers
Q. When I press START,
I hear a
dull thumping
noise. What is it?
A.
This sound is normal. It is let-
ting you know the oven is using a
Power Level lower than HIGH.
Q. Can I Defrost
small items in a
hurry?
A. Yes,
but they will need more fre-
quent attention than usual. Raise
the Power Level after entering the
time by touching POWER LEVEL
and 7 or 10. Power Level 7 cuts the
time about in 1A;Power Level 10
cuts the time to approximately
1/3.
During either, rotate or stir food
frequently.
Q. Can I open the door during
DEFROST
to check on the pro-
gress of my food?
A. Yes.
You may open the door at
any time during microwaving.
To
resume defrosting, close the door
and press START.
Q. Why don't the defrosting
times
in the Cookbook
seem right for my
food?
A.
Cookbook times are average.
Defrosting time can vary according
to the temperature
in your freezer.
Set your oven for the time indicated
in your Cookbook.
If your food is
still not completely thawed at the
end of that time, re-set your oven
and adjust the time accordingly.
Q. Can I select a Power Level other
than automatic
Power Level 3 for
defrosting?
A. Yes.
Some smaller foods maybe
defrosted quicker on higher Power
Levels but for even, carefree
defrosting, Power Level 3 is
suggested. Check the guide in the
Cookbook for specific times and
Power Levels.
