Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I acciden-
tally reverse my defrost, hold and
cook instructions?
A.
The oven automatically rear-
ranges your program. Defrosting
always comes first, then hold. and
then the cooking function.
Q. Can I defrost and hold only?
A. Yes. Sometimes you may only
want to defrost a food, hold it. and
cook it later. All you need to do is
program in Defrost and amount of
time. Then program Hold and the
amount of time. Be sure to put the
thawed dish in the refrigerator
promptly.
NOTE: Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
Q. 1 programmed my oven for
a specific defrosting time but it
defrosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
A.
When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruction.
You may have set the oven to
defrost for 4 minutes, hold for 2
minutes, and then defrost for 6
minutes. In this case, the oven
would defrost for 6 minutes and
hold for 2 minutes and ignore your
first defrost instruction.
