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.

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
