Microwave Cooking

Using CUSTOM DEFROST

Your microwave oven uses a preset defrost time and power according to the food setting and the food quantity that you choose.

NOTE: Standing time is included in the defrosting time selected by your microwave oven. This may make defrosting times seem longer than in other microwave ovens. (See “Defrosting tips” later in this section for more information.)
