  When using 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 Defrost only for raw food. 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 maintain a temperature of 5°F or below, 

always program a lower food weight (for a shorter 

defrosting time) to prevent cooking the food.

  The shape of the package affects how quickly 

food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more 

quickly than a deep block.

  As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. 

Separated pieces defrost more easily.

  Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts 

of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or 

areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does 

not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The 

foil can damage the oven lining.

  For better results, a preset standing time is 

included in the defrosting time. 

  Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. 

Break apart and remove food as required.

Your microwave oven is preset with four defrost 

categories. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to 

defrost frozen foods.

To enter food weight in 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.

NOTE: If between two decimal weights, choose the 

lower weight for the best defrosting results.
