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 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.
