Touch the POWER LEVEL pad once or twice after selecting the weight. See page 16. 3. To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights allowed on DEFROST CHART on page 15 use time and 30% power. See MANUAL DEFROST on the next column. 4. You may choose to enter the weight in tenths of pounds. This procedure may be easier with larger weights, such as 3 pounds, because it requires fewer touches. To program, touch desired Defrost pad and enter weight by touching the number pads. Ex: touch STEAKS/CHOPS then [] and [] for a weight of three pounds or touch STEAKS/CHOPS then [] and [] for a weight of 2.2 lb. MANUAL DEFROST If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the DEFROST CHART (see page 15), you need to defrost manually. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using POWER LEVEL for 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under, TO SET POWER LEVEL on page 9. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL pad 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 on Power Level 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. HOT WATER HOT WATER heats 1 to 6 cups of tap water to prepare coffee, tea, bouillon and instant soup as well as heat the water to cook pasta. When preparing individual cups, place instant coffee, tea or bouillon in cup and stir before heating. Allow to stand 20 seconds after heating before stirring and drinking. Stir carefully after removing from the oven. When heating 6 cups of water, place in large casserole and cover with lid or plastic wrap. When oven signals, add pasta and continue cooking according to package directions. Touch HOT WATER pad once for each cup up to 6. • Suppose you want to heat 3 cups of water.
