Questions
and Answers
Q. What will happen if I acciden-
tally reverse the instructions?
A. If you accidentally reverse the
sequence of programming instruc-
tions, your oven automatically
rearranges your program. Defrost-
ing always comes first, then hold,
and then the cooking function.
Q. Can I Defrost-Hold only on my
oven?
A. Sometimes you may want to de-
frost a food, hold it, and refrigerate
it to be cooked later. All you need
to do is program in Defrost and

thawed dish in the refrigerator and
cook later at a convenient time.

room temperature only as long as

specific defrosting time but it de- t
frosted longer than necessary.
What happened?
