NOTE Turntable on/off function can be used in Manual Operation. See page 28. 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 22-23), you need to defrost manually. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using power level for 30%. 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. 12
