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 Time 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: Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.
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 for 2 minutes, and
then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven
would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for
2 minutes.
