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.
