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 defrost
and
amount of time. Then program
the hold time. Be sure to put the thawed dish in the
refrigerator promptly.
NOTE:
Foods that
spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry
and
pork should not be allowed
to sit out
for
more than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
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.
