Standing time

The QUICK DEFROST Indicator 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, “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.

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.
