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

BEEPBEEPbEE$EtP 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.

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 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.
