Using Your Microwave Oven
Contmued
Touch Number Pads for the defrosting time
you want. The Display will show the numbers
you touched in the order you touched them.
This example shows 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
Touch START. The QUICK DEFROST
Indicator will stay on to show that the oven is
in the Quick Defrost cycle. The Display counts
down the time to show how much defrosting
time is left.
When the defrost time ends, “End” will show
on the Display and 4 tones will sound. (You
can stop the tones by opening the door or by
touching CANCEL.) “End” will remain on the
Display and a reminder tone will sound every
30 seconds (to remind you that food is left in
the oven) until the door is opened or CANCEL
is touched. The Display will then show the
time of day.
NOTE: To defrost items not listed in the Quick
Defrost guide, use 30% Cook Power. See a
reliable cookbook for defrosting information.
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 Cook Power
Third part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20% of full
Cook Power
This automatic step-down 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 a 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.
Remember 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 or
touch in new instructions for additional
defrosting time.
