If you choose to set the clock at that time, the display will take you directly to the Clock screen. If you choose not to set the clock, the time of day will default to 12:00 p.m., and the clock will be displayed and continue to keep time. The clock defaults Daylight Savings OFF.

Learning Mode

The Learning Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave oven.

While functions are operating in the Learning Mode, the microwave oven light will come on, the fan will run, and the turntable will rotate (if set ON).

While the Learning Mode is active, the Learn indicator is visible in the upper, right title area, or at the bottom command input area. The indicator is visible while the microwave oven is in standby mode, during programming, and during Settings & Info menu navigation. During a “practice” cooking cycle, the Learn indicator is visible in the lower, left command input area.
