DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using AUTO DEFROST, you need to enter
the net weight (the weight of the food minus
the container). Enter the weight to the nearest
1/10 Ib (45 g).
• Only use AUTO DEFROST for raw food.
AUTO 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 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 1/4 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 chart to convert the
weight to decimals.
