To Turn Off/On Valid Entry Tones: With the microwave oven in standby mode, touch and hold the number pad “1” for 3 seconds until 2 tones sound. Touch and hold number pad “1” to turn tones back on.

To Turn Off All Tones (except end-of-timer and hidden feature tones): With the microwave oven in standby mode, touch and hold the number pad “2” for 3 seconds until 2 tones sound. Touch and hold number pad “2” to turn tones back on.

Timer

The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds, up to 90 minutes, and counts down the set time.

NOTE: The Timer does not start or stop the microwave oven.

While the Timer is in use, the microwave oven can also operate. To see the countdown for 10 seconds while the microwave oven is in use, touch TIMER SET/OFF.

To Set:

1.Touch TIMER SET/OFF.

The TIMER icon will appear in the display.

“ENTER TIME IN MIN AND SEC” will scroll in the display. If no action is taken after 2 minutes, the display will return to the time of day mode.

2.Touch the number pads to set the length of time.

3.Touch TIMER SET/OFF or START.

When the set time ends, “END TIMER” will appear in the display, and the end-of-timer tone will sound, followed by reminder tones.

Touching CANCEL OFF while a cook function is active in the display will cancel the cook function, not the Timer.

4.Touch TIMER SET/OFF or CANCEL OFF to cancel the Timer when only the Timer is operating.

Touch TIMER SET/OFF when a cook function is also operating to make the Timer countdown active in the display, and then touch CANCEL OFF to cancel the Timer. The cook function will continue to operate.

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to avoid unintended use of the microwave oven.

When the control is locked, only the Vent Fan and Light pads will function. If any other control pad is touched, “LOCKED” will appear in the display and the invalid entry tones will sound.

To Lock/Unlock Control: The microwave oven must be in standby mode. Touch and hold CANCEL OFF for 3 seconds until 2 tones sound and a padlock icon appears in the display. Repeat to unlock and remove the padlock icon from display.

Vent Fan

The vent (exhaust) fan has 3 speeds: high, medium and low.

To protect the microwave oven, if the temperature from the range or cooktop below the microwave oven gets too hot, the vent fan will automatically turn on at high speed. It may stay on for up to 1 hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan cannot be turned off. If the vent fan pad is touched during automatic fan operation, “AUTO FAN IS ON, FAN SPEED WILL REMAIN ON UNTIL HEAT IS NO LONGER SENSED” will scroll in the display as a reminder.

The vent fan is also the cooling fan, and will start when any cooking function begins. It will remain on until the cooking function ends.

To Turn Vent Fan On/Off: Touch VENT FAN pad once for high, twice for medium, 3 times for low or 4 times for off.

Cooktop Light

The cooktop light has 3 settings: high, low and off.

To Turn Light On/Off: Touch LIGHT pad once for high, twice for low or 3 times for off.

Demo Mode

The Demo Mode is ideal for learning how to use the microwave oven. When set, functions can be entered without actually turning on the microwave generator (magnetron). The microwave oven light will come on, the fan will run, and the turntable will rotate (if set on).

The DEMO icon will appear in the display while the microwave oven is off, and will flash during any function. After 5 minutes of inactivity, a reminder message will scroll in the display when any control pad is touched.

To Turn On/Off: The microwave oven must be in standby mode. Touch and hold the number pad “3” for 3 seconds until 2 tones sound and the DEMO icon appears in the display. Repeat to turn off and remove the DEMO icon from the display.
