The touch panel is cleared when it is tapped or the [Home Screen] button is pressed.

A message appears 15 seconds before Preheat Mode is entered. To close the message and continue normal operation, tap [Continue].
The message appears again 15 seconds before the end of the extension of normal operation time.
If no action is taken within 15 seconds after the message appears, the machine enters preheat mode.
