DEFROSTING TIPS
• When using ULTRA DEFROST
TM,
you need to enter
the net weight (the weight of the food minus
the container). Enter the weight to the nearest
1/10 Ib (45 g).
• Only use ULTRA DEFROST
TM
for raw food.
ULTRA DEFROST
TM
gives best results when the
food to be thawed is completely frozen. If the
food is partially defrosted, always set a lower
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.
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 ULTRA DEFROST
TM,
you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound.
° For better results, a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time. This may make the
defrosting time seem longer than expected. (For
more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave
cooking tips" in the "Cooking Guide"
section.)
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.
