SPECIAL FEATURES Manual Defrost If the food thatyouwish todefrost isnot listed onthe CompuDefrost Chartorisabove orbelow thelimns inthe Amount columnonthe chart, youneed todefrost manually. You candefrost anyfrozen food,either raworpreviously cooked, byusing power level3.Follow theexact 3-step procedure foundunderTimeCooking onpage 11. Estimate defrosting timeandpress 3for 30% when youselect thepower level. For either raworpreviously cookedfrozenfood,therule of thumb isapproximately 5minutes perpound. Forexample, defrost 5minutes for2-3 cups ofcasserole or1pound otfrozen spaghetti sauce. Always stoptheoven periodically toremove orseparate the portions thataredefrosted.
