Using Your Microwave Oven
Microwave oven controls
There are three parts in the control section:
- Display/Clock and Indicators
-Command Pads
-Number Pads
Instructions for each control are covered on the
following pages. Read them carefully.
When you first plug in the oven, a tone will
sound and the Display will show “12:OOoo”. The
clock will begin to run. The Display shows the
time in hours, minutes and seconds. Set the clock
to the correct time of day (page 11). If your
electricity goes off for a while and comes back
on, the clock will return to “12:OO” and begin to
run. Reset the clock.
Display/clock and indicators
When you are not using the microwave oven, this
is an accurate clock.
When you are using the microwave oven, it
displays time settings, cook power settings,
defrost weight settings and indicators.
Command pads
. Touch Command Pads to tell the microwave
oven what to do and in what order. A few
examples:
- CLOCK tells the oven you are going to
set the clock.
- START/ENTER tells the oven to start. (See
page 11 for information on the tone you hear
when touching any pad.)
l
Each Command Pad (except START/ENTER,
OFF/CANCEL, and CLOCK) causes an
Indicator to light when you touch the Command
Pad. While the oven is running, an Indicator (or
Indicators) will be on to show what the oven is
doing.
l
If you touch two instructions into the same
cycle, the second set of instructions will cancel
the first.
Number pads
Once you’ve touched a Command Pad to tell the
oven what you want it to do, you’ll touch Number
Pads to tell it . . .
-a Time,
- a Cook Power,
-a Defrosting Weight.
