OPERATION
AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence Table below provides some basic guidelines for using the three defrost sequences.
Use the DEFROSTING RACK serviced by LG for complete defrosting.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of meat.
1. Touch AUTO DEFROST
pad.
2. Choose food category.
Category | Touch pad | |
number | ||
| ||
Meat | 1 | |
Poultry | 2 | |
Fish | 3 | |
Bread | 4 |
3. Enter the weight.
4. Touch START pad.
NOTE: When you touch the START pad. The display changes to defrost time count down. The oven will beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open the door and turn food over, separate or rearrange the food. Remove any portions that have thawed. The oven will not STOP during the beep unless the door is opened.
5. Close the door and restart.
When the defrost time is over, you will hear four beeps and COOK END will display.
NOTE: If you do not open the door, the display will resume the countdown.
This table shows you food type selections and the weights you can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
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 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in Auto 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 table to convert the weight to decimals.
EQUIVALENT WEIGHT| OUNCES | DECIMAL WEIGHT | |
1.6 | .10 |
|
3.2 | .20 |
|
4.0 | .25 | |
4.8 | .30 |
|
6.4 | .40 |
|

|
11.2 | .70 |
|
12.0 | .75 | |
12.8 | .80 |

14.4 | .90 |

16.0 | 1.00 | One Pound |
OPERATING TIPS
•For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
•For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
•Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
