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 l/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

Defrosting tips

l When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

l Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food. AUTO DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0°F. If food has been stored in a refrigerator- freezer that does not maintain a temperature of 0°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

l If the food Is kept outslde the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

l If the food Is kept outslde the freezer for more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting ready-made food, defrost by time and power and let stand after defrosting.

The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow pack- ages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more evenly.

Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven.

For better results, a preset standlng tlme is included in the defrosting time. This may make the defrosting time seem longer than expected. (For more informa- tion on standing time, see “Microwave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)
