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, in order to enter food weight in
CUSTOM 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 CUSTOM DEFROST, the
weight to be entered is the net weight in
pounds, and tenths of pounds (the weight
of the food minus the container).
•
CUSTOM DEFROST gives best results
when food to be thawed is a minimum of
0°F or colder.
•
If the food is kept outside the freezer for
more than 20 minutes, and for defrosting
ready-made food, defrost by time and
power and let stand after defrosting.
•
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
evenly.
