CONVERTING FRACTIONS OF A POUND TO
OUNCES: Most meat packages show weight in
pounds only. Convert fractions of a pound to
ounces for COOK BY WEIGHT feature by using
chart below.
Setting “defrost by weight” Set DEFROST BY
WEIGHT for any weight up to 6 pounds.
Because it is a more gentle defrost setting than
“Speed Defrost”, it is especially good for meats
which are dense in the center but vulnerable to
overcooking on the edges. For meats as small
as a pound of hamburger or delicate shrimp,

choosing DEFROST BY WEIGHT will give
more even thawed results than SPEED
DEFROST setting. Choose DEFROST BY
WEIGHT for large roasts.
Check weight of meat. It must be in pounds
and ounces. If label gives weight in pounds
only, you can change the fraction of a pound to
ounces using chart on page 11. Unwrap meat
before defrosting. Touch DEFROST BY
WEIGHT pad. Word prompt ENTER shows in
display and 0’s show where LB and OZ should
be entered. LB flashes until you enter pound(s)
by touching
correct number pad. When pound(s) has been
entered, LB will stop flashing and OZ will flash.
As soon as all these digits have been set, dis-
play will immediately show cook time. Ounce
weights less than 10 must be preceded by a 0.
As soon as three digits are set, display
immediately shows cook time.
Touch START/STOP pad to start oven. CODE
flashes in display as time counts down. Interior
light goes on, turntable rotates and fan sound is
heard. After partial defrosting, oven beeps
twice and stops. Interior light goes off but time
remains on the display. This pause in operation
is to allow turning over, rearranging or shield.
After attending to meat appropriately, touch
START to resume the time on display and finish
cooking. After total cooking time, 4 long beeps
sound and END appears in display. Touch
RESET or open oven door to clear END before
starting another cooking function.
Notes: Allow enough time for defrosting
because it is more slow and gradual than
SPEED DEFROST. With DEFROST BY
WEIGHT, low power microwaving is inter-
spersed within “resting” and “standing” periods
where no microwave at all enter the oven.
These no-microwave periods allow meat to
equalize in temperature before next
period of microwaving automatically comes on.
“DEPROST BY WEIGHT” automatically sets the
correct thawing time, but you must enter the
food weight accurately. Weight must be in
pounds and ounces. Place meat on microwave-
safe rack in microwave roasting dish. Place
meats fat-side down and poultry breast-side
down.
