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.
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).
• Only use AUTO DEFROST 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
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.
