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

Start begins any function. If non-sensor cooking is interrupted by 
opening the door, touching Start 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 Start Add 30 Sec keypad automatically starts the microwave 
oven at 100% power for 30 seconds, and it adds 30 seconds of 
cook time with each additional touch of the keypad.
Time may be added to any manual cooking cycle in 30-second 
increments, at the current power level, by touching Start 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.

Stop Cancel

Stop Cancel 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 to resume the cycle.
The Stop Cancel keypad is also used to lock and unlock the 
control panel. See the “Control Lock” section.
