TIME ENTRY pad is used to enter cooking
time for either manual entry or programming.
Cooking time ranges from 1 second (00:01)
to a total of 60 minutes (60:00) over four
stages. If more than 60 minutes of total microwave
cooking time is required, open door and inspect food
before beginning new cooking cycle.
X2(some models) pad increases the
cooking time when more than one item is
cooked.
Numbered pads begin cooking programs or enter times
and power levels for “Manual Time Entry” cooking. This
oven can store up to 10 or 100 (some models) cooking
programs in memory.
POWER LEVEL
(some models)
pads are used to
set microwave power level. When cooking, the power
level can be decreased for foods that require slower
more even cooking. If cooking time is set and START
pad pressed, oven cooks at 100% power.
START pad begins Manual Time Entry
cooking or restarts an interrupted cooking
cycle. When programming, use to save time
and power level, and to save a user option
setting.
STOP/ RESET pad exits programming
mode and stop cooking during cooking
cycle.
Display
Some items in display can
be seen but are not
available.
Stages (some models)
This oven can be programmed to run 4 cooking se-
quences consecutively. Each sequence is called a stage.
For example, the first cycle could be programmed to
defrost at 20% power, the second to hold at 0% power,
the third to heat at 50% power, and the fourth to heat at
100% power. Total time for all cooking stages counts
down.
User Options
User Options allow the user to program the oven to
perform in a way convenient to the user. The beeps,
maximum cooking time, and number of pre-programmed
cooking sequences can be changed.
