Defrosting tips

•When using CUSTOM DEFROST, you need to enter the net weight (the weight of the food minus the container). Enter the weight to the nearest

1⁄10 lb (45 g).

•Only use CUSTOM DEFROST for raw food. CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results when the food to be thawed is completely frozen. If the food is partially defrosted, always set a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

•For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time. This may make the defrosting time seem longer than expected.

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example 4 ounces equals 1⁄4 lb (113 g). However, in order to enter food weight in CUSTOM DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.
