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 t/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
Lime 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 aFumtnum foil to
shield foods like chicken wings, leg tips, and [ish
tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the
oven° Foi! can damage the oven fining
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they
start to become warm
• For better results, a preset standing Lime is
included In the defrosting time
