The QUICK DEFROST Signal Light
will come on and the Display will
show four 0's.
The Display will show the numbers
you touched in the order you
touched them.
This example shows 2 minutes, 30
seconds.
The QUICK DEFROST Signal Light
will stay on to show that the oven is
in the QUICK DEFROST Cycle.
The Display counts down the time
to show how much defrosting time
is left.
When the defrost time ends, you
will hear 4 beeps. (You can stop
the beeping by opening the oven
door or touching CANCEL.) When
the beeping stops, the Display will
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 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
The microwave oven automatically divides the time set forthe 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 with
less cooking.
