Start - Add Time
The microwave oven Start key begins all oven functions. Once a
cooking setup function is complete, the Start key will illuminate
until touched. If not touched within 2 minutes after entering a
cooking function, the display will return to the sleep mode and
the programmed function will be canceled.
For added convenience, Start is also available on some display
screens, and provides the same function as the Start key on the
control panel.
Touching Start when the microwave oven is off will start
1 minute of cook time at 100% power. Touching Start while the
microwave oven is operating will add 1 minute of cook time to the
current cycle. Multiple 1-minute increments can be added by
repeatedly touching Start.
At the end of each cooking cycle the end screen is displayed. At
this stage, time can be added by choosing the “Add Time” option
or to keep food warm by choosing the “Warm Hold” option. See
the “Warm Hold” section.
Upper Oven Off - Cancel
The UPPER OVEN OFF key stops the respective oven functions
except for the Clock, Timer and Control Lock. The oven cooling
fan may continue to operate even after an oven function has been
cancelled or completed, depending on the oven temperature.
If the UPPER OVEN OFF key is touched, the display will return to
the Main Menu from any menu.
The CANCEL key will appear during a cooking cycle. If CANCEL
is touched, the cooking cycle will be cancelled and the display
will return to the Main Menu.
Clear
During programming, the CLEAR key changes the numeric
programming values, such as minutes, seconds and cook power
that are active in the display to their default value.
For example, while entering a cook time, touching CLEAR will
change the time you have already entered to “0:00.”
The CLEAR key gives an invalid signal if touched during a
cooking cycle. See “Sounds” section.
Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel keys to avoid
unintended use of the oven(s). The Control Lock will remain set
after a power failure, if set before the power failure occurs.
When the control is locked, only the TIMER SET, TIMER OFF and
OVEN LIGHT keys will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock Control: From the upper oven control panel, touch and
hold START for approximately 5 seconds, until “CONTROLS
LOCKED” and a lock icon appears in the display and a
confirmation tone sounds indicating the oven control has been
locked. “Controls locked” and the lock icon will appear in the
display for approximately 5 seconds.
If a key is touched while the controls are locked, the invalid key
touch tone will sound and a reminder message will be displayed
indicating that the control is locked.
To Unlock Control: Repeat to unlock the control. A tone will
sound and a controls unlocked message will be displayed for
approximately 5 seconds.
