Browning Pan and Handle 

(available as accessory)

The Browning Pan, with a nonstick surface and detachable 
handle, has been specially designed for microwave use, and is 
ideal for pan-frying (pan-browning) foods in the microwave oven. 

See “Browning Pan Use” section for more information.

Use the handle to grasp the pan. Place gripping end on the edge 
of pan, squeeze the handle, and lift pan.

See “Assistance or Service” to order parts.

MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROL

Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, 
“WELCOME” flashes in the display. Touch OFF to clear the 
display. If “WELCOME” appears at any other time, a power failure 
has occurred. Touch OFF and reset the clock if needed.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows modes, 
quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave oven is 
not in use, the display shows the time of day (if the clock is set) or 
Timer countdown.

Start

The Start pad begins any function except the Timer. If cooking is 
interrupted, touching START will resume the preset cycle.

Add a Minute

During manual microwave cooking, touching ADD A MINUTE 
(START) while the oven is operating will add cook time at the 
current cook power in 1-minute increments.

Touching ADD A MINUTE (START) by itself will start the oven for 
1 minute at 100% power. If more than 3 minutes has passed 
since the oven was last used, Off must be touched, or the door 
must be opened and then closed before the Add a Minute (Start) 
pad will start the oven.

The Add a Minute feature is not available during any auto cook 
function. The feature may be used immediately following the auto 
cook cycle, but it will operate at 100% power.

Off/Clear

The Off pad stops any function except for the Child Lock and 
Demo Mode. One touch of the Off pad will clear an entry during 
programming, cancel the timer, interrupt a cooking cycle or return 
the display to the time of day mode. Touch the pad twice to 
cancel a program.

In order to avoid accidental starting of the oven with the touch of 
any of the Reheat or Instant Sensor pads, as well as the 
Add a Minute (Start) pad, the oven has been programmed to not 
respond to those pads unless the Off pad has been touched, the 
door has just been opened and then closed, or the oven has 
been active within the past 3 minutes.

Clock

This is a 12-hour clock and does not show a.m. or p.m.

To Set:

The microwave oven and timer must be off.

1. Touch CLOCK TIMER.

2. Touch number pad “2.”

3. Touch the number pads to set the time of day.

4. Touch CLOCK TIMER.

Once the time of day is set, it may be reset, but it cannot be 
cleared from the display.

Timer

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

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

When the Timer is in use, the microwave oven will not operate.

To Set:

1. Touch CLOCK TIMER.

2. Touch number pad “1.”

3. Enter desired time.

4. Touch CLOCK TIMER.

To cancel the Timer, touch OFF once.

Help & Settings

The Help & Settings menu provides access to 4 features:

Child Lock, to prevent unintended use of the oven. See “Child 
Lock.”

Audible Signal Elimination, to disable or enable the tones. 
See “Tones.”

Auto Start, to set beginning and ending cook times. See
