The START pad begins any function. If non-sensor cooking is 
interrupted, touching START will resume the preset cycle.

will add 1 minute of cook time at the current cook power. Each 
additional touch adds 1 minute of cook time.

100% power for 1 minute after the door is closed or OFF is 
touched. Additional time may be added by touching 
ADD A MINUTE.

Off

The OFF pad clears any incorrect command, and cancels  
functions. It will not erase the time of day. OFF is also used to

Close the door and touch START to resume the non-sensor 
cycle.
