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 code
charts in the Cooking and Custom Reheating sections for

Touching EASY MINUTE START when the microwave oven is off
will start 1 minute of cook time at 100% power.
