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.

-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.
