Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, “0:00” will appear in the display. If the “0:00” appears in the display at any other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock if needed. See “Clock.”

When the microwave oven is in use, the display will show cook time remaining. When the microwave oven is not in use, the display will show the time of day (if the clock is set) or Timer countdown (if the Timer is set).

Start

The START control begins any function. If cooking is interrupted by opening the door, touching START will resume the cycle.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional operation of the microwave oven, a cooking function cannot be started if the microwave oven door has been closed for about 5 minutes. The word “door” will appear in the display until the door is opened and closed.

Add 30 Seconds

The ADD 30 SEC control (START pad) automatically starts the microwave oven at 100% power for 30 seconds, and adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional touch of the control.

Time may be added to any manual cooking cycle in 30-second increments, at the current power level, by touching ADD 30 SEC during cooking.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional operation of the microwave oven, a cooking function cannot be started if the microwave oven door has been closed for about 5 minutes. The word “door” will appear in the display until the door is opened and closed.

Cancel

The CANCEL control clears any incorrect command, and cancels any program during cooking. It will not erase the time of day.

The microwave oven will also turn off when the door is opened. Close the door and touch START to resume the cycle.

The CANCEL control is also used to lock and unlock the control panel. See “Control Lock.”
