Automatic Defrosting in Your Microwave Oven
Your microwave oven automatically
calculates defrosting time, changes
power levels during defrosting, tells
you when to turn your food, and
holds food for a short time after
defrosting time is up to finish the
thawing of the inside of the food.
Here's what you do:
Before You Start
to Auto Defrost
First, check the Auto Defrost chart
below or the one at the bottom of
the oven when you open the door.
They show minimum and maximum
food weights for each code
number.
Then, if your food's weight IS stated
in pounds and ounces, use the
chart below to convert ounces to
tenths (.1) of a pound.
