Defrosting
tips
• When using AUTO DEFROST,you need to enter
the net weight (the weight of the food minus
the contained. 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 informationon standing time, see the
"Microwave cooking tips" in the "CookingGuide"
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). Howev_,
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 fractionsof a
pound, you can use the followingchart to convertthe
