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.

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 aUtOmdiC			step-down in Cook Power helps defrost food quickly and completely			with
less	cooking.
