Questions
and Answers
Q. What will happen
if I acciden-
tally reverse the instructions?
A. If you accidentally
reverse
the
sequence
of programming
instruc-
tions,
your
oven
automatically
rearranges
your program.
Defrost-
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 WIII vary
