Microwave Oven Use & Care Guide MW8800XS

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 after the automatic standing time.
About the “QUICK DEFROST” Cycle
The microwave oven automatically divides the time set forthe 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.
l Touch QUICK DEFROST.
l Touch numbers for new time
l 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
l Open the door.
. Check the food with long-tined fork; if center area is hard frozen, set additional time.
Remember that standing time is necessary to complete defrosting.
l Close the door and touch START to continue the cycle if no additional time is needed
OR...
