To enter food weight in 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.

DEFROSTING
TIPS
• When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net
weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the
food minus the container).
• Use DEFROST only for raw food. DEFROST gives best
results when food to be thawed is a minimum of O°F (taken
directly from a true freezer). If food has been stored in a
refrigerator-freezer
that does not maintain a temperature
of
5°F or below, always program a lower food weight (for a
shorter defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.
• The shape of the package
alters the defrosting time.
Shallow rectangular packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
• Separate
pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
pieces defrost more easily.
• You can use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield foods
like chicken wings, but the foil must not touch the side of
the oven. Foil causes arcing, which can damage the oven
lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start
to become warm.
• For better results, a preset standing time is included in
the defrosting time.
