OPERATING TIPS
* For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from
its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper).
Otherwise, the wrap wilt hold steam and juice close to the
foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
* For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of
a doughnut before freezing. When defrosting, scrape off
thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.
* Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave roasting
rack to catch drippings.
* Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed
from the oven.
This table shows you food type selections and the weights you
can set for each type. For best results, loosen or remove
covering on food.

WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
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
Custom Defrost, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
If the weight on the food package is in fractions of apound, you
can use the following table to convert the weight to decimals.
Equivalent Weight
OUNCES DECIMAL WEIGHT

3.2 .20
4.0 .25 One-Quarter Pound
4.8 .30
6.4 .40
8.0 .50 One-Half Pound

11.2 .70
12.0 .75 Three-Quarters Pound
1 2.8 .80
1 4.4 .90
1 6.0 1.00 One Pound

If between two decimal weights, choose the lower weight for
the best defrosting results.
