Manual Defrost Manual Defrost is designed for speedy thawing of frozen foods and is one of the great advantages of a microwave oven. Manual Defrost can be used to quickly thaw foods such as bread, rolls, vegetables, fruits and frozen dinners. QUICK DEFROST and AUTO DEFROST are preferred for meats and poultry because the oven is programmed with the defrosting time and power level. You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the same procedure for Timed Cooking: enter the estimated defrosting time and then touch 3 for 30% power level. For raw or cooked foods, a good rule is to defrost approximately four minutes per pound. Always check food periodically, stirring, rotating or separating defrosted portions of food. If food is not defrosted at end of defrost time, set the oven at Power Level 3 for one minute increments until food is thawed. 1. 530 Touch POWER LEVEL.
