Question 3

How do I set the time on the CATA MW BI2505DCG microwave and ensure it stays displayed?

Accepted Answer

The CATA MW BI2505DCG microwave is not equipped with a clock that can be displayed continuously. Unlike some newer models, this 25-liter built-in microwave does not offer the option to set and continuously display the current time on its electronic control panel.

However, this model has a preset function that allows you to program future cooking (function 7 of the manual). In standby mode, press the preset function button to make the icon blink, then use the + and - buttons to set the desired start time. After confirming this reservation, select the type of cooking and the duration according to your needs. The microwave will automatically start at the programmed time.

During cooking, the screen displays a countdown of the remaining time, not the actual time. After the program ends, the display returns to standby mode without showing the current time.

If you needed to have the time displayed continuously, unfortunately, this feature is not available on the MW BI2505DCG model. You will need to refer to an external clock or watch to know the current time.

For more information on the programming capabilities of this device, please refer to the 'Preset Function' section of the complete instruction manual.
