“The timer is really locked into 10-second increments? There's no way to set it for an actual number of seconds? For certain items timing is crucial. A person shouldn't have to stand by the microwave & stop it early.”

You appear to be correct. I started searching in disbelief as well. I guess I'll invent a work-around... if you want something cooked for 45 seconds, set it to 50 then stand there the whole time and open the door when the counter gets to 5. Seems a tad silly, but not overly difficult-- But honestly that's not even the worst part. Want to cook for 3:20 ? Set it to 3:30 and stand there for minutes until it gets down to 10 seconds! 3:20 is unreachable because at 3:00 it switches to half minute increments. Also unreachable 20:30, you have to either go 20 minutes or 21, those are your choices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Would not recommend this microwave because it thinks it is smarter thanyou and removed the numerical key pad
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You may be hitting the kitchen timer on the right side of the panel. Try hitting power and then hit the “+” to increase time in 10 second increments. Close door and hit start
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This microwave operated in the following numerical increments: 0~3 minutes : Time increases or decreases in 10-second increments. 3~20 minutes : Time increases or decreases in 30-second increments. 20~90 minutes : Time increases or decreases in 1-minute increments. While the microwave is cooking, the remaining time increases or decreases in 10-second increments. ^CP
