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 defrost and amount of time. Then program the hold time and the amount of cooking 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 for 2 minutes, and then defrost for 6 minutes. In this case, the oven would defrost for 6 minutes and hold for 2 minutes.
