Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 USER OPERATION CONTROL LOCK Control Lock feature prevents unwanted microwave oven operation. TO LOCK: 1. Touch CONTROL LOCK, then touch START. ‘LOCK ON’ will appear on control panel display. TO UNLOCK: 1. Touch CONTROL LOCK, then touch START. ‘LOCK OFF’ will appear on control panel display. OPEN/CLOSE To open or close drawer, touch OPEN/CLOSE.
Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 To Restore Cook Time Completion Reminder: 1. Touch SETTINGS three times. 2. Touch START. ‘REMIND SIGNAL ON’ will appear on control panel display. DEMONSTRATION MODE Demonstration mode allows operation to be demonstrated without energizing the High Voltage circuit. To enter Demonstration Mode: 1.
Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 AUTO START The microwave oven can be programmed to begin cooking automatically at a designated time of day. The clock must be set to correct time for Auto Start to function properly. To use Auto Start: 1.
Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 BEVERAGE The beverage feature will reheat a beverage or prepare hot water for coffee or tea. To use Beverage: 1. Touch BEVERAGE. 2. To reheat beverage: Touch 1 multiple times to select amount in 1/2 cup increments, up to 2 cups. 3.
Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE OFF CONDITION 8. When drawer opens from closed position, primary Closing drawer activates door sensing switch and interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch secondary interlock switch. (Monitor switch contacts open their contacts.
Theory of Operation MD24 and MD30 SENSOR COOKING CONDITION Using SENSOR function, food is cooked without figur- ing time, power level or quantity. When oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays information to its microprocessor which will calculate remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results.
