Weight conversion chart
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 ⁄ pound). However, in order to enter
4
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 chart to convert the weight to
decimals.
