Touch Screen

The LCD touch screen is used to input commands. A light- to medium-pressure touch of the fingertip will activate the menu choice. However, sensitivity of the touch screen may vary, and using the tips or backs of fingernails may provide more accuracy when inputting commands.

The following illustrates how the touch screen display screens help the navigation through menus. This example shows the display screens and selections when cooking chicken pieces.

The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time of a cooking cycle. It will appear during sensor cooking functions. The line appears below the word “Sensing,” and shows progress by the darkening of the line from the left. After the sensor is finished sensing, the remaining cook time replaces the word “Sensing” at the top of the display, but the progress bar continues to be displayed.
