Questions andilnsww;
Q.What will happen if I accidentally reverse my defrost, hold and cookinstructions?
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 youmay 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. Youmay 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.
