Repeat steps 6 and 7 When the defrost time is over‘ you will hear three beeps and END will display NOTE: ll you do not open the door withm 3 seconds. the display will resume the countdown. Weight conversion chart You are probably used to food weights being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound tfor example 4 ounces equals l/4 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound ft the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound. you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals. EQUIVALENT DUNCE WElGHT NUMBER AFTER DECIMAL .10 20 . One~Ouaner Pound .30 .40 .50 One Half Pound 50 70 .75 Three—Ouaners Pound .BD 90 t .00 One Pound DEFROSTING TIPS ~ 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. DEFHOST gives best results when food to be thawed is a minimum of 0' F (taken directly from a true freezer). lf 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. c 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 lime. 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 furl it they start to become warm, ' For better results, a preset standlng tlme is included in the defrosting time. .15.
