The QUICK DEFROST Indicator Light
will come on and the Display will
show four 0’s.
The Display will show the number
you touched in the order you
touched them. This example
shows 2 minutes, 45 seconds.
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
CANCEL.) “End” will remain on the
Display and a beep will sound every 30
seconds (to remind you that food is
in the oven) until 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 afterthe automatic standing time.

Second part 50% of full Cook Power
Thirdpart I’.“.. 1’ .,.,... 20% of full Cook Power
This automatic step-down in Cook Power helps defrost food quickly and completely,
