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 a holding time (example in steps 4 and 5 at left). Be sure to put the thawed dish in the refrigerator promptly.
N~E: 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/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.
