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 fish, shellfish, 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 off thawed meat when the beep sounds and
continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a microwave
roasting rack to catch drippings.
AUTO DEFROST
Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Auto Defrost Sequence Table
below provides some basic guidelines for using the
three defrost sequences.
Use the DEFROSTING RACK serviced by LG for
complete defrosting.
