DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using AUTO DEFROST, the weight tobe entered is
the netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of
the food minus the container).
• Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food. AUTO DEFROST
gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of
0°F (taken directly from a "true" freezer). Iffood has been
stored in a refrigerator-freezer that does not maintain a
temperature of 5°F or below, always program alower food
weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the
food.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes,
enter a lower food weight.
• The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow
rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.
• Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated pieces
defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods
like chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must
not touch the side of the oven. Foil can damage the oven
lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces offoil if they start to
become warm.
• For better results, apreset standing time is included in the
defrosting time.

Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and

ounces that are fractions ofa pound (for example 4 ounces

equals 1/4 pound).
