2. Operating Tips
1). For best results, remove fish, shell fish, 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.
2). For best results, roll your ground meat into a ball before freezing. During
the DEFROST cycle, the microwave will signal when it is time to turn
the meat over. Scrape off any excess frost from the meat and continue
defrosting.
3). Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting rack to
catch drippings.
This table shows food type selections and the weights you can set for each
type. For best results, loosen or remove covering on food.

3. Weight conversion table
You are probably used to measuring food 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.
