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
yoLl
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.
