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
and the amount of cooking time.
Be sure to put the thawed dish in
the refrigerator promptly.
NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable, 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.
