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 Chart page 15-16 provides
some basic guidelines for using the
three defrost sequences.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs. of
ground beef.

time is over, you will
hear four beeps and

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, 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).
• Use AUTO DEFROST only 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 main-
tain 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 time. 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 aluminum foil to shield foods like chicken wings,
leg tips, and fish tails, but the foil must not touch the side of the oven. Foil
causes arcing, which can damage the oven lining.
• Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if they start to become warm.
• For best results, a preset standing time is included in the defrosting time.
