Audible signals

Audible signals are available to guide you when setting and using your oven:

Choosing cooking function settings

The cooking functions discussed in the “Getting to Know Your Microwave Oven” and “Microwave Cooking” sections use Command pads to choose cooking function settings. Another way to choose cooking function set- tings is by using Code pads. Code pads are Number pads used to select a cook power, food settings, or quantities. Food setting charts found in the “Using CUSTOM REHEAT,” “Using CUSTOM DEFROST,” and “Using CUSTOM COOK” sections list only Code pads for food settings. The charts in “Using code pads” in the “Microwave Cooking” section list all the available Code pads.
