Learning Mode

The Learning Mode is ideal for learning how to use the
microwave oven. When set, functions can be entered, with real
displays and tones, without actually turning on the microwave
generator (magnetron), grill element or convection element. While
functions are operating in the Learning Mode, the microwave
oven light will come on, the fan will run, and the turntable will
rotate (if set ON).
While the Learning Mode is active, the Learn indicator is visible in
the lower, left command area. The indicator is visible while the
microwave oven is in stand-by mode, during programming, and
during Settings & Info menu navigation.
The Learning indicator shares the lower, left command area with
the Timer countdown if both are in operation.
