How to Use the Hold/Timer
Your HOLD/TIMER, which oper-
ates without microwave energy,
has three timing functions.

frosting. Hold/Timer can be set up
to 99 minutes.

The display shows :0. Signal light
above HOLD/TIMER flashes.
Step 2: Select the amount of time
you desire. Touch the appropriate
number pads. If, for example, you
are timing a three minute phone

shows 3:00.
Step 3: Touch START. The readout
display shows the time as it counts
down.
Step 4: When time is up, a signal
sounds and the timer turns off.
The HOLD/TIMER can also be
used to program "standing time"
between microwave cooking ?unc-
tions. The time can range from one
second to 99 minutes and 99 sec-
onds. A HOLD, or "standing" time
may be found in some of your own
recipes or Cookbook.

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: Ailow foods to remain at
room temperature only as long as
safe. Times will vary.
