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, roll your ground
meat into a ball
before freezing.
During the DEFROST cycle, the
microwave
will signal when it is time to turn the
meat over. Scrape
off any excess frost from
the meat and continue
defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container
or on a
microwave
roasting
rack to catch drippings.
This table
shows food type selections
and the
weights you can set for each type. For best results,
loosen or remove covering
on food.

Weight
conversion
table
You are probably
used to measuring
food
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.
