Display

When power is first supplied to the microwave oven, a “:” will 
blink on the display. Touch CANCEL-OFF to stop the blinking. 
If the “:” blinks on the display at any other time, a power failure 
has occurred. Touch CANCEL-OFF and reset the clock if needed.

If “RETRY” blinks on the display for 1 second, an invalid value 
has been entered. Retry your entry.

When the microwave oven is in use, the display shows cooking 
power, quantities, weights and/or prompts. When the microwave 
oven is not in use, the display shows the time of day or Timer 
countdown.

Number Codes

The microwave oven is preset with shortcut number codes. A 
number code includes one or more of the following: cooking 
power, cook time and food quantity or weight. See the charts in 
the “Cooking” and/or “Reheating” sections for additional 
information.

Start

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

Add a Minute

Cook time may be added in 1-minute increments, up to 
99 minutes, by touching ADD A MINUTE.

Touching ADD A MINUTE during a cook cycle will add 1 minute 
of cook time at the current cook power.

Touching ADD A MINUTE when the microwave oven is not in use, 
or after a cook cycle has ended, will start the microwave oven for 
1 minute of cook time at 100% cook power.

Cancel/Off

The CANCEL/OFF pad clears any incorrect command and 
cancels most functions except for the Control Lock and Demo 
Mode. It will not erase the time of day.

The oven will also turn off when the door is opened. Close the 
door and press START to resume the cycle. A sensor cooking 
cycle may not be resumed if interrupted by opening the door.

Clock

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

To Set:

1. Press SELECT dial for 5 seconds.

2.

The Clock display may be turned off. While off, the Clock 
continues to keep the correct time.

To Turn Clock On/Off: Press SELECT dial for 5 seconds. Turn 
dial to “Clock on/off.” 

Options

The following options are available by pressing SELECT:

Clock may be set or turned on or off.

Weight units may be set to either oz or lbs.

Amount units may be set to pcs, cups or servings.

To Use:

1. Press and hold SELECT.

2.

3.

4.

Tones

Tones are audible signals, indicating the following:

One tone

Valid entry (short tone)

Two tones

Reminder, repeat each minute after the end-of-cycle tones

Hidden feature has been entered or exited

Three tones

Invalid entry

Four tones

End of cycle

To Turn Off/On Valid Entry Tones: Touch and hold the number 
pad 1 for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound. Repeat to turn tones 
back on.

To Turn Off/On All Tones: Touch and hold the number pad 2 for 
5 seconds until 2 tones sound. Repeat to turn tones back on.

Demo Mode

The Demo Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave 
oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning 
on the magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the 
fan will run and, if on, the turntable will rotate.

To Turn On/Off: 

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent 
unintended use of the microwave oven.

When the control panel is locked, none of the controls will 
function.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the 
microwave oven is off. Touch and hold CANCEL/OFF for 5 
seconds until 1 tone sounds and “LOCKED” appears on the 
display. Repeat to unlock and clear the display.
