Standing Time and Cooking Automatically After Defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a while after defrosting. This helps equalize the
temperature of the food to provide more even defrosting.
When Cook 1 is set to follow QUICK DEFROST, the oven automatically provides a standing
time equal to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST. Cook 1 will begin after the automatic
standing time. There is no standing time between QUICK DEFROST and KEEP WARM.
For cooking automatically after
defrosting:
I. Touch QUICK DEFROST and desired time.
2. Touch COOK 1.
3. Touch Number Pads for desired cooking
time.
4. Touch COOK POWER. (If you want to cook
at HIGH Cook Power, skip to step 6.)
5. Touch a Number Pad for desired Cook
Power.
6. Touch START.
When defrost time ends, the oven automatically lets the food stand for the same amount
of time used for defrosting. The QUICK DEFROST Indicator Light stays on and the Display
counts down the standing time. During the standing time countdown, the oven will be
dark and the fan will be off. When standing time is over, you will hear 2 beeps and Cook1
will begin. When Cook1 ends, “End” will show on the Display and 4 beeps will sound.
About the QUICK DEFROST Cycle
The microwave oven automatically divides the time set for the QUICK DEFROST Cycle into
three equal parts:

Second part 50% of full Cook Power
Thirdpart . . . . . . . ..__.___..__._.__._.._.......__._.___....._.__._.. 20%offullCookPower
