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 beeps will
sound. (You can stop the beeping by
opening the door or by touching CAN-
CEL.) “End” will remain on the Display
and a reminder tone will sound every
60 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.
Standing time
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 follows QUICK DEFROST, the oven automatically provides a standing time equal
to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST. COOK will begin after the automatic standing time.
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.
