Using Your Microwave Oven

Contmued

Touch Number Pads for the defrosting time you want. The Display will show the numbers you touched in the order you touched them. This example shows 2 minutes, 30 seconds.

Touch START. The QUICK DEFROST Indicator 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 tones will sound. (You can stop the tones by opening the door or by touching CANCEL.) “End”will remain on the Display and a reminder tone will sound every 30 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.

NOTE: To defrost items not listed in the Quick Defrost guide, use 30% Cook Power. See a reliable cookbook for defrosting information.

About the Quick Defrost cycle

The microwave oven automatically divides the time set for the 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.

Changing or adding defrost time

You can change the defrosting time any time before or after touching START.

1. Touch QUICK DEFROST.

2. Touch Number Pads for a new time.

3. Touch START.

Any new time setting made while Quick Defrost is operating will continue the defrosting at only 20% of full power. The best time to change the setting is near the end of the Quick Defrost cycle.

1. Open the door.

2. Check the food with a long-tined fork; if center area is hard frozen, set additional time. Remember that standing time is necessary to complete defrosting.

3. Close the door and touch START to continue the cycle if no additional time is needed or touch in new instructions for additional defrosting time.
