Auto Defrost; Defrosting Tips - LG MV-1560T Mode D'emploi

AUTO DEFROST

Your microwave oven is preset with three defrost
sequences. Using AUTO DEFROST is the best way to
defrost frozen foods. The Defrost Sequence Table
below provides some basic guidelines for using the
three defrost sequences.
NOTE: Use the DEFROSTING RACK for three defrost
sequences.
For best defrost results, leave the
turntable on.
Example: To defrost 1.2 lbs of ground beef.
1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.
2. Touch AUTO DEFROST.
3. Choose food category.
4. Enter the weight.
5. Touch START.
6. After 1/3 of the defrost time
7. Close the door and restart.
8. After 2/3 of the defrost time
NOTE: If you do not open the

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 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 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.
•
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
time. 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 can damage the oven lining.
•
Shield areas of food with small pieces of foil if
they start to become warm.
•
For better results, a preset standing time is
included in the defrosting time.
