DEFRONNG TIPS
• When using QUICK DEFROST, you need to
enter the net weight (the weight of the food
minus the container). Enter the weight to the
nearest 1/lO Ib (45 g).
• Only use QUICK DEFROST for raw food.
QUICK DEFROST gives best results when the
food to be thawed is completely frozen. If the
food is partially defrosted, always set a lower
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.
• 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
the "Microwave cooking tips" in the "Cooking
Guide" section.)
weight c onversion 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 1/4pound). However,
in order to enter food weight in QUICK 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.
