Access the existing cycle by pressing
ENTER (to edit step 1), or press
ADVANCE to edit other steps. In this
case, INC or DEC will display the
various segments, and the configuration
can be modified by using the ENTER

function, or using ENTER to modify any
numerical value (RPM, Time, etc.) as

as the current step, and all later steps are
increased by one. For instance, if the
display showed Start Step 2 existing,
and the INS key is pressed, a new step 2

3, the old step 4 is now step 5, etc. and
the display changes to:

following message appears:
DELETE?
To confirm deletion of the step, press the
ENTER key or press RESET to cancel the
operation. After confirmation, press the STOP
