Control Panel Features

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 pad increases the cooking time when
cooking more than one item at a time is
necessary. The amount of added time when
the X2 pad is pressed is a percent of the original
preprogrammed cooking time. The percent can be
set from 10% to 100% with the default at 80%. The
percent of the time added can be changed for
individual cooking sequences.
POWER LEVEL pad is used to set
microwave power level. When cooking, the
power level can be decreased for foods that
require slower more even cooking. Microwave
power levels range from 0% to 100% in 10%
increments. If cooking time is set and START pad
pressed, oven cooks at 100% power. When
programming, to reset power level to 100%, press
POWER LEVEL pad.
