Microwave Oven Control

Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, a “:” will blink on the display. Touch CANCEL to stop the blinking. If the “:” blinks on the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Touch CANCEL and reset the clock if needed.

If “RETRY” blinks on the display for 1 second, an invalid value has been entered. Retry your entry.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking power, quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day or Timer countdown.

Progress Bar

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time of a cooking cycle. It will appear during all cook cycles except Warm Hold. The lines in each of the segments will light from left to right as the time nears the end. When all 15 lines (all

3 segments) are lit, the cooking cycle is complete.

Number Codes

The microwave oven is preset with shortcut number codes. A number code includes one or more of the following: cooking power, cook time and food quantity or weight. See the charts in the “Cooking” and/or “Reheating” sections for additional information.

Start/Add 30 Seconds

The START control shares function with the Add 30 Seconds feature. The START pad will start any function. If not touched within 5 seconds after touching a pad, “START?” will appear on the display as a reminder. If not touched within 5 minutes after touching a pad, the display will return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.

If cooking is interrupted, touching the START will resume the preset cycle.

The ADD 30 SEC. control starts the oven at 100% power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional touch of the control. Once cooking begins, cook power or cook time may be changed manually by touching the appropriate display area and entering the new setting.

Easy Minute Feature

The numerical pads 1-5 share function with the Easy Minute controls. When one of these controls is touched (while no function is operating), the oven will begin cooking at high power for 1-5 minutes, depending on which pad is touched. After cooking begins, the Easy Minute controls return to their normal numerical pad function.

Cancel

The CANCEL pad stops most functions except for the Timer, Child Lock and Demo Mode.

The microwave oven will also turn off when the door is opened. Close the door and touch START control to resume the cycle. A sensor cooking cycle may not be resumed if interrupted by opening the door.
