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
1
⁄10 lb (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.
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). However,
in order to enter food weight in AUTO DEFROST,
you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.

DEFROSTING TIPS
•
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.)
