Questions and
ilnsww;
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 nced 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.
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/Time for
2
minutes. and then
Defrost for
6
minutes.
In
this case,
the oven would Defrost for
6
minutes
and Hold/Time for
2
minutes.
