Standing time or cooking automatically after defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a white after defrosting. This helps equalize the
temperature 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.

1.
Touch QUICK DEFROST and desired time.

power, skip to step 6.)
5. Touch a number for desired Cook Power.
6. Touch START.
When QUICK DEFROST is over, the oven will shut off.
The Display will count down a standing time equal
to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST, Two
beeps will sound. COOK 1 will start.
For a different standing time:

Touch QUICK DEFROST and desired time.
2. Touch COOK 2.
3. Touch numbers for desired standing time.

Power.

is over.
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

This automatic step-down in Cook Power helps defrost food quickly and completely.
