DEFROST 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
Procedure
does not maintain 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.
After each stage,
