Manual Time Entry; Stage Cooking - Amana Commercial Microwave Oven Owner's Manual

Single Pad Programming
This feature enables each numbered pad to be
programmed for a specific use, such as cooking a
certain number of potatoes or defrosting and then
cooking vegetables or other frozen foods. To use this
feature, simply program the pad to the desired length of time and power
level. To use this feature, press the pad once and the microwave will begin
cooking.
Double Pad Programming
This feature enables 100 programmed entries to be
made. Each entry will be assigned a double digit
number, for example 01, 05, or 20. When using the
double pad programming, two pads must be pressed to
start the cooking cycle.

Manual Time Entry

In addition to programmable pads, this microwave also accepts
specific time entry by using the TIME ENTRY pad. Using
manual time entry does not affect the programmed buttons.
Quantity Pad
The quantity pad increases a preset cooking time by a
percentage of the original cooking time. The user specifies
the percentage and it can be changed for individual cooking
sequences. Quantity can be increased up to 8 times. Once pressed, QTY
will display with the number times the cooking time will be extended. This
feature is very useful for cooking multiple servings of foods such as potatoes
or slices of pizza.

Stage Cooking

Stage cooking is a cooking sequence with specific power
stage changes. The user can program up to four different
power level changes and the specific amount of cooking time at each power
level. Each power level/cooking time combination is known as a stage. Up to
four stages can be programmed.
User Options
This microwave can be set for specific user preferences. Options such as
beep volume, and the number of programmable pads can be changed. To
change different options, see User Options in this manual.
