Microwave - Delay Start

On models so equipped, the Hold Timer feature could be used to "Delay Start" the microwave oven. This allowed flexibility in programming ahead to save time.

By combining the Hold Timer with a Temperature Cook or Time Cook, the oven could be programmed to hold up to 99 minutes 99 seconds and then start cooking afterward. The Hold Timer could be programmed (using the min-sec timer) to offer a holding period between Defrost and Time Cook or the Hold Timer could be used to offer a delay before Time Cook or Temperature Cook.

• When Delay Start was set up and Start pad was pressed, the fan and oven light came on just as if the microwave was cooking.
• Auto Start was basically the same feature but provided 12-hour delay time verses 99 minutes and 99 seconds for Delay Start. The fan and light did not come on until time selected was up.
• On turntable models, the turntable would turn during the delay time.

 

Delay Start could be used with Convection cooking on models equipped with both Delay Start and Convection features. To set-up:

1. Press Delay Start pad
2. Enter desired time for the oven to turn on
3. Press Convection Cook pad
4. Enter temperature
5. Press Start pad
