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
Vie 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 1/4pound). 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.
