WEIGHT CONVERSION TABLE
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 table to convert the weight to
decimals.
OPERATING TIPS
For best results, remove sh, shellsh, meat, and
poultry from its original closed paper or plastic
package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will
hold steam and juice close to the foods, which
can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
For best results, shape your ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape o thawed meat when the
beep sounds and continue defrosting.
Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
For more defrost help, please read “Defrosting
Tips” following the Auto Defrost Table.
This table shows you food type selections and the
weights you can set for each type. For best results,
loosen or remove covering on food.

AUTO DEFROST
Three defrost sequences are preset in the oven.
The auto defrost feature provides you with the
best defrosting method for frozen foods. The Auto
Defrost Table will show you which defrost sequence
is recommended for the food you are defrosting.
For added convenience, the Auto Defrost includes
a built-in beep mechanism that reminds you to
check, turn over, separate, or rearrange to get best
defrost results. Three dierent defrost settings are
provided.

beep during the DEFROST cycle. At this time, open
the door and turn, separate, or rearrange the food.
