Weight conversion chart
You are probably used to food weights being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example 4 ounces equals 1/4 pound).
However, in order to enter food weight in 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.

DEFROSTING TIPS
•When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered [s
the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).
°Use DEFROST only for raw food, DEFROST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of
0°F (taken directly from a true freezer), If food has
been stored in a reffigerator4reezer that does not maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, always
program a lower 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.
•_parate 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 causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
•Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
•For better results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.
