Using PAUSE with QUICK DEFROST
If the defrosting instructions call for stirring or
turning over the food in the middle of the defrost
cycle, program PAUSE after QUICK DEFROST.
See pages 24-25 for more information.
Standing time after defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a while
after defrosting. This helps equalize the tempera-
ture of the food to provide more even defrosting.
When COOK 1 follows 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. See “Cooking automatically after defrosting, ‘I
page 18.
For a different standing time:
1.
Touch QUICK DEFROST and the desired time.
2. Touch COOK 2.
3. Touch Number Pads for the desired standing
time.
4. Touch COOK POWER.
5. Touch “0” for zero Cook Power.
6. Touch START.
When QUICK DEFROST is over, the oven will
shut off. Two beeps will sound. The Display will
count down the new standing time programmed.
About the Quick Defrost cycle
The microwave oven automatically divides the time
set for the Quick Defrost cycle into three equal
parts:
First part . . . . . . . . . . . . 80% of full Cook Power
Second part.. . .50% of full Cwk Power
Third part . . . . . . . . . . . 20% of full Cook Power
This automatic stepdown in Cook Power helps
defrost food quickly and completely.
Changing or adding defrost time
You can change the defrosting time any time
before or after touching START.
1.
Touch QUICK DEFROST.
2. Touch Number Pads for new time.
3. Touch START.
Any new time setting made while Quick Defrost
is operating will continue the defrosting at only
20% of full power.
The best time to change the setting is near the end
of the Quick Defrost cycle.
1. Open the door.
2. Check the food with a long-tined fork; if center
area is hard frozen, set additional time. Re-
member that standing time is necessary to
complete defrosting.
3. Close the door and touch START to continue
the cycle if no additional time is needed.
