Start/Add aMinute
The Start/Add a Minute key controls 3 separate functions for the
single built-in microwave: Start, Add a Minute and Control Lock.
Start
The Start/Add a Minute key begins any upper or single oven
cooking function once enough data has been entered and the
door is closed.
If the Start key is not touched within 5 seconds after touching
another key, “START?” will appear on the oven display as a
reminder. If the Start key is not touched within 5 minutes after
touching another key, the oven display will return to the inactive
mode and the programmed function will be canceled.
If cooking is interrupted by opening the door, touching Start/Add
a Minute after the door is closed again will resume the preset
cycle (except for sensor cooking).
Add a Minute
Touching Start/Add a Minute when the microwave oven is off will
start 1 minute of cook time at 100% power. Touching Start/Add a
Minute while the microwave oven is operating will add cook time
to the current cycle by 1 minute. Multiple minutes can be added
by repeatedly touching Start/Add a Minute.
Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel keys to avoid
unintended use of the oven. The Control Lock will remain set after
a power failure, if set before the power failure occurs.

TIMER OFF keys will function.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.

MINUTE for approximately 5 seconds, until “control locked”
appears on the lower text line and a lock icon appears in the
