Control Panel

Touch Screen

The control panel houses basic controls and one-touch automatic function controls. The control pads are very sensitive, and require only a light touch to activate.

For more information about the individual controls, see their respective sections in this manual.

Interactive Touch Display

The display area functions as both a display and an interactive, menu-driven touch control. It is designed to be easily navigable, guiding you through the menus, offering multiple selections, accepting your input and executing your commands. It also provides instructions, tips, and graphics.

The LCD touch screen is used to make menu selections, adjust settings and input commands.

Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, the welcome screen appears, asking whether you would like to set the clock. Touch “Yes” and set the clock (see “Clock” section), or touch “No” and the time will default to 12:00 p.m. If the welcome screen appears at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock if needed.

When the microwave oven is not in use (in standby mode), the display shows the Main Menu and the date and time of day, if they are set to be displayed. See “Clock” and “Date” sections. After 2 minutes of inactivity, the display will go into sleep mode. See “Display Backlight” section.

During programming, the display shows menus, servings and weights, cooking time/power/temperature settings, preheating instructions, and/or cookware and preparation instructions.

During a cooking cycle, the display shows progress bar (sensor functions only, see “Progress Bar” section), cooking animation (see “Cooking Animation” section), and the countdown of cook time remaining. The display will also give prompts to tend to the food during certain automatic cycles.
