OPERATION
WEIGHT CONVERSION CHART
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.
DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using AUTO 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 AUTO DEFROST only for raw food. AUTO
DEFROST gives best results when food to be
thawed is a minimum of 0°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.
• If the food is stored outside the freezer for up to
20 minutes, enter a lower food weight.
• 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, leg tips, and fish tails, 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 even, complete defrosting, use the defrosting
rack.
