ALTERING THE DEFROST POWER SETTING (TIME DEFROST)
The default microwave power level for both Weight and Time
Defrost is 30%. In the Time Defrost menu this can be altered for
faster or slower defrosting.
Note: Although you can alter the power from 0% to 100% we
advise you not to use less than 20% or more than 40%. Very low

Press Time Defrost
20 min
Press Start
When defrosting:
Stop the oven periodically to remove or separate defrosted
portions.
Periodically check food during the defrosting process, turning it

When the defrost cycle is over: the oven will beep 5 times.
$Open the oven door.
$You should now ensure the food is fully defrosted before
proceeding. If the food is not defrosted, program the oven in
one minute increments until totally defrosted.
