COOKING BY TIME

(continued)

The Express Cook Feature

The Express Cook feature is a short-cut method to
set time for 1–5 minutes at power level 10.

To Express Cook your food or beverage:

Touch a number pad (from 1 to 5) for 1 to 5 minutes
of cooking at power level 10. For example, touch the
2 pad for 2 minutes of cooking time. No need to touch
START, the oven will start immediately.

The oven will signal and turn off automatically 
when finished.

How to Use Reminder

The Reminder feature can be used like an alarm
clock, without starting the oven.

Example: It is 7 a.m. and you must remember 
to leave for a dentist appointment at 10 a.m.

Step 1: Touch DELAY START pad.

Step 2: Enter the time you want the oven to remind
you. (Be sure your microwave oven clock shows the
correct time of day. The reminder time can be set up
to 12 hours later.)

Step 3: Touch START 
pad. The reminder is now
set at the time you
programmed, and will
signal you at that time
with a beeping sound until
you open the door or touch the CLEAR/OFF pad. 
The display will show “REM” until the oven door is
opened or CLEAR/OFF is touched. The REMinder
time may be displayed by touching the DELAY
START pad. The time-of-day may be displayed by
touching the CLOCK pad.

How to Use Delay Start

The Delay Start feature allows you to program
your oven to begin cooking at a preset time of
day—up to a 12-hour delay.

Step 1: Touch DELAY START pad.

Step 2: Enter the time you want the oven to start. 
(Be sure your microwave oven clock shows the
correct time of day.)

Step 3: Enter your desired cooking program.

Step 4: Touch START pad. The display
will show the time you entered. The time 
of day may be displayed by touching the
CLOCK pad. The oven will automatically
start at the desired time.

Add 30 Seconds

Sound Feature

The Add 30 Seconds feature provides a
convenient way to extend cooking time by
30 seconds while the oven timer is counting
down. It will add 30 seconds to the time
shown each time the pad is touched.

This pad may also be used as an express cook for 30
seconds of cooking. No need to touch START, the
oven will start immediately.

The Sound feature allows you to turn the oven beeper
on or off.

Touch the SOUND pad once for sound. Touch the pad
again for no sound. If the sound has been turned off,
the display will show “OFF” and then return to the
time of day. A small “NO SOUND” will be displayed.
