hi Alex. another thing you could try would be to programme the microwave with the door open. Then simply shut the door and the machine will probably start cooking. Hope this helps. Cheers andrew

Hi all, While this is not strictly cooking, I am hoping that someone will have run into this problem so I can start using my microwave more for cooking here in my college dorm. The problem is that, when I press a button on the microwave, it starts immediately instead of waiting for me to finish and press START. If I want something to cook for two minutes or twenty seconds, I hit the number 2. However, as soon as I do, it starts microwaving, and I am not sure how long it would go for but it is more than two seconds. Any ideas on how I can get it to wait for me to finish the time entry? I know it is possible because I have seen others use this microwave with no problems, but there must be a trick that meither my mother nor myself can figure out. Thanks in advance for any info, and, again, sorry if this turns out to be off topic. -- Have a great day, Alex (msg sent from GMail website) mehg...@gmail.com; http://www.facebook.com/mehgcap _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
