Definitions and Feature Explanations
This oven has many features not typically found on other commercial Microwave Ovens.
FEATURE EXPLANATION
Manual Heating
(See pages 18-20.)
Gives the user maximum flexibility to set the oven to desired heating time
and power level. Ideal for menus that require variations in heating.
Single Stage Heating
(See pages 18-19.)
Allows the oven to run at the selected power level for the selected heating
time.
Interrupt Feature
(See page 24.)
Allows opening of the oven door to check on the food in the cavity.
Closing the door and touching Start Pad resumes heating. Cooking time
does not countdown while you check on your food.
Note: Interrupt Feature is deactivated in “Program Lock”.
Repeat Feature
For Manual Heating Only
(See page 19.)
After you remove your food from the oven, the timer is automatically preset
to repeat the last heating time and power level. This is especially convenient
for daily specials that you do not want to program into Memory Pads.
Self Diagnostics
(See page 33.)
The oven constantly monitors its operation. When an operational problem
develops, the Digital Display Window displays a Failure code. By checking the
code number against the list in this manual you will know the nature of the
problem, whether you can solve the problem yourself, or need to call a
service agent or need to call an electrician. If a service agent is required the
Failure code number will let him know which parts to bring on the Service call.
See “MAINTENANCE OF YOUR OVEN” on page 10.

automatically to a different power level after designated amount of heating
time.
