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 the COOK Cycle follows QUICK DEFROST, the oven automatically provides a
standing time equal to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST. The COOK Cycle will
begin after the automatic standing time.

About the "QUICK DEFROST" Cycle

three equal parts:
-First part 80% of full Cook Power;
-Second part 50% of full Cook Power;
-Third part, 20% of full Cook Power.

less cooking.
