Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, “0:00” will 
appear in the display. If the “0:00” appears in the display at any 
other time, a power failure has occurred. Reset the clock if 
needed. See “Clock.”

Function Icons

The icons light up in the display while their specific functions are 
being programmed. While the set function is operating, the icons 
flash until the program is over. The control lock icon remains lit – 
not flashing – while the control is locked.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display will show cook 
time remaining, and the function icons will flash. When the 
microwave oven is not in use, the display will show the time of 
day (if the clock is set) or Timer countdown (if the Timer is set).

Start/Enter

The START/ENTER control begins any function. If cooking is 
interrupted by opening the door, touching START/ENTER will 
resume the cycle.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional operation of the microwave oven, 
a cooking function cannot be started if the microwave oven door 
has been closed for about 5 minutes. The word “door” will 
appear in the display until the door is opened and closed.

Add 30 Seconds

The ADD 30 SEC control (START/ENTER pad) automatically 
starts the microwave oven at 100% power for 30 seconds, and 
adds 30 seconds of cook time with each additional touch of the 
control.

Time may be added to any manual cooking cycle in 30-second 
increments, at the current power level, by touching ADD 30 SEC 
during cooking.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional operation of the microwave oven, 
a cooking function cannot be started if the microwave oven door 
has been closed for about 5 minutes. The word “door” will 
appear in the display until the door is opened and closed.

Off/Cancel

The OFF/CANCEL control clears any incorrect command, and 
cancels any program during cooking. It will not erase the time of 
day.

The microwave oven will also turn off when the door is opened. 
Close the door and touch START/ENTER to resume the cycle.

The OFF/CANCEL control is also used to lock and unlock the 
control panel. See “Control Lock.”

indicate the following:

One tone

Valid entry

Control lock activated or deactivated

Two tones

End of stage in multistage cooking

Invalid entry

Clock

This is a standard 12-hour clock (12:00-11:59). The Clock cannot

when the microwave oven is not in use.

Kitchen Timer

The Kitchen Timer can be set in minutes and seconds, up to 
99 minutes 99 seconds, and counts down the set time. 

NOTE: The Kitchen Timer does not start or stop the microwave 
oven.

Cook functions may be used while the Kitchen Timer is counting 
down. When the cook function is active in the display, touch 
KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF to see the Kitchen Timer count down 
for about 5 seconds. 

To Set:

1. Touch KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF.

2. Touch number pads to enter desired time.

3. Touch START/ENTER.

When the set time ends, “End” will appear in the display and 
the end-of-Timer tones will sound.

4. Touch OFF/CANCEL while the Kitchen Timer is active in the 

display to cancel the Kitchen Timer.

The time can be reset during the countdown by canceling 
Kitchen Timer, then repeating the above steps.

Control Lock

The Control Lock disables the control panel pads to avoid 
unintended use of the microwave oven.

To Lock/Unlock Control: The microwave oven must be off. 
Touch and hold OFF/CANCEL for about 3 seconds, until the tone 
sounds and the control lock icon (see “Function Icons” in the 
“Display” section) appears in the display. Repeat to unlock. 

The control lock icon will remain lit in the display until the control 
is unlocked.

be no response from the control.
