Questions and Answers
Q. What will happen if I
accidentally reverse my defrost,
hold and cook instructions?
A. The oven will automatically
rearrange your program. Defrosting
will always come 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 Time Defrost and
amount of time. Then program
hold and the amount of time. Be
sure to put the thawed dish in the
refrigerator promptly.
N~E:
Let foods remain at room
temperature only as long as safe.
Times will vary.
Q.
I 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.
