Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are frac- tions of a pound (for example 4 ounces equals 1⁄4 pound). 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.

Defrosting tips

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

•Only use CUSTOM DEFROST for raw food. CUSTOM 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 main- tain a temperature of 0°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

•If the food is kept outside the freezer for up to 20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.

•If the food is kept outside 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 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 of foil if they start to become warm. Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven.

•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 “Microwave cooking tips” on page 69.)
