DEFROSTING TIPS

•When using the JET DEFROSTTM feature, 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 the JET DEFROST feature for raw food. The JET DEFROST feature 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. (For more information on standing time, see the “Microwave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)

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 the JET DEFROST feature, 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.
