Never being sure, I ignored all of those buttons. But even the basic 'set a time, a power and go' method was awful.
* Choose a power. There was no default. You had to do this before you'd set the time, or the time would reset back to 0.
* Turn a wheel which increases the time. The first two minutes increment 1 second. After that they increment in 10 seconds. So to get to 5 minutes, you had to spend ages turning it.
* Press 'Go'.
Next to the 'Go' button there was a 'Cook' button, which reset everything.
There was a defrost mode, which seemed to heat the contents for 2 minutes and 10 seconds (couldn't change the time). The results were identical to just heating it on full power.
