Standing time or cooking automaticaly 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 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. There is no standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK 2 or QUICK
DEFROST and KEEP WARM.

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
