Standing time after defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a while after defrosting. This helps equalize the tempera- ture of the food to provide more even defrosting.
When COOK 1 follows QUICK DEFROST, the oven automatically provides a standing time equal to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST.
COOK 1 will begin after the automatic standing
time. See “Cooking automatically after defrosting, rs page 18.

1.Touch QUICK DEFROST and the desired time.
2.Touch COOK 2.
3.Touch Number Pads for the desired standing time.
4.Touch COOK POWER.
5.Touch “0”for zero Cook Power.
6.Touch START.
When QUICK DEFROST is over, the oven will shut off. Two beeps will sound. The Display will count down the new standing time programmed.
