may tell you by name (HI, MED, LO,etc.] or percentage (IO’%,50%, 80%, etc.)

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 CYCLE 1 follows QUICK DEFROST,the oven automatically provides a
standing time equal to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST.COOK CYCLE 1will

About the “QUICK DEFROST” Cycle
The microwave oven automatically divrdes the time set for the QUICK DEFROST
Cycle into three equal parts
- Frrst 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 is an important’part of the QUICK DEFROST
Cycle It helps defrost food quickly and completely
Changing or adding defrost time
You can change the time setting any time while the QUICK DEFROST Cycle is
operating.
1 Touch QUICK DEFROST.
2 Touch numbers for the new time
3 Touch START.
Any new time settlng made while QUICK DEFROST is operating will continue the
defrostlng only at 20% ot full Cook 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 long-tined fork; if center area is hard frozen, set additional
time Remember that standing time will further defrost the food.
3. Close the door and touch STARTto continue the cycle if no additional time is
needed.
4. Or, touch in new instructions if additional time is needed.

Cooking in two cycles
For best results, some recipes call for one Cook Power for a certain length of time, and
another Cook Power for another length of time Your microwave oven can be set to change
from one to another automatically.
