Initial Configuration: Upon first use or after a power cut, the appliance prompts the user to set the time. This is done using the rotary selector and confirming with the start button.
Basic Operation: Users can select microwave power settings and cooking durations using the touch fields and rotary selector. The appliance pauses operation if the door is opened during cooking and resumes once the door is closed and the start button is pressed. Cooking time can be adjusted at any point during operation.
Memory Function: To save a setting, users press the "M" button, select the desired microwave power and duration, and then choose to either start immediately or save without starting. Saved settings can be easily recalled by pressing "M" and then "start."
