Questions
and Answers
Q. What will happen if I acciden-
tally reverse the instructions?
A. If you accidentally reverse the
a
equence of programming instruc-
'
ens, your oven automatically
'rearranges
your program. Defrost-
m
ing always comes first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. I programmed my oven for a
specific defrosting time but it de-
frosted
longer than necessary.
What happened?
A. When instructions conflict, the
oven carries out the last instruc-
tion. 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.
Q. Can I Defrost-Hold only on my
oven?
A. Yes, for foods you don't want
to cook, like frozen fruit, frozen
whipped
topping,
etc.—refer
to
Cookbook.
NOTE: Allow foods to remain at
room temperature only as long as
safe. Times will vary.
