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 pan . . . . 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.
