The Time Defrost setting is designed for even thawing for large amounts of food. BASIC INSTRUCTIONS 1. Push the Time Defrost Pad. 2. Enter defrost time. 3. Push the Power Level Pad.* 4. Enter power level.� 5. Push the Start Pad. Note*: Power Level 3 is automatically set for defrosting, but you may change this for more flexibility. If you wish to use Power Level 3, skip steps 3 and 4. As indicated under the Microwave Techniques -- defrosting section, of the cookbook, microwave defrosting can be done at different power level settings. However this microwave oven automatically uses the optimum power level to thaw most frozen foods without starting to cook them. As illustrated in the Microwave Techniques section of the cookbook defrosting results vary with different shapes, types and amounts of food, so progress of a defrost operation should be checked periodically. Suggested defrost times are given for specific types and amounts of foods along with recipes in several sections of the cookbook.
Defrosting Tips � Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. � For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time. � Pre-packaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwave cooked. If dinner is in paper board or plastic container, remove dinner from the box and turn back one corner of plastic wrap to vent steam. Then, cook dinner in original containers. For dinners in foil trays less than 3_,,deep, remove foil cover. Place foil tray in original box and cook for the recommended time. Keep metal trays at least 1" away from cavity walls. � Check your Cookbook for other defrosting tips. � Remove metal clips and/or metal twist ties before defrosting.
