time is then shown in the display and begins counting down.
Balance of cooking (T2 time)
The balance of cooking time which is called T2 time, can be calculated by the following formula.
/ T2 time (in sec.) = T1 time x K factor
NOTE: Remember, the T1 time starts after the start pad is tapped. The coefficient K is
programmed into the microprocessor memory and they are listed in the following tables along
with the P1 and P2 powe r. /
NOTE: When “More“or “Less” pad is selected, the K factor varies resulting in T2 time to be
increased or decreased.
Calculating the T2 time
Example 1: If the t1 time is measured to be 2 minutes and 40 seconds, and the auto sensor
program is selected is sensor reheat. Fish (Program 4)
T2 = T1 x K
= 2 min. and 40 sec. X. 0.3
=48 sec.
