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 yoLl 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: Foods that are highly perishable, 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.
