          START Key

              The START key is used to      

begin a manual time entry cooking 

cycle. It is also used to save any 

changes to programming sequences 

or user options.

Display and Features (some models)

           STOP/RESET Key

                The STOP/RESET 

key stops a cooking sequence in 

progress, clears out any remaining 

time, and also ends a programming 

or user option cycle. When the 

STOP/RESET key is used to end a 

programming or option change, the 

changes are discarded.

           Single Key Programming 

 

(example of key 1 shown)

This feature enables each numbered key to be programmed for a specific 

cooking procedure/use. To use this feature, simply program the key to the 

desired length of time and power level. To use this feature, press the key 

once and the microwave will begin cooking.

                      Double Key Programming 

(some models)

This feature enables 100 programmed entries to be made. Each entry will 

be assigned a double digit number, for example 07 as shown. When using 

the double key programming, two keys must be pressed to start the cooking 

cycle.

         Manual Time Entry

               In addition to programmable keys, this microwave also accepts 

specific time entry by using the TIME ENTRY key. Using manual time entry 

does not affect the programmed buttons.

         QTY X2 Key

                The QTY X2 key increases a preset cooking time by a percentage 

of the original cooking time (cooking factor). The user may specify the 

percentage and it can be changed for individual cooking sequences. This 

feature is very useful for cooking multiple servings of foods. The QTY X2 key 

can be used with either single or double key programming. To change the 

cooking factor, see 

Programming the Oven Control.

 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, maximum cooking time, and 

the number of programmable keys can be changed. To change 

different options, see 

User Options

 in this manual.

permissible system impedance Zmax of 

0.10 Ohms

 at the interface point of the user’s supply. The user has to ensure that this device is 

connected only to a power supply system which fulfills the requirement above. If necessary, the user can ask the public power supply company
