Child Lock

The Child Lock disables the control panel pads to prevent unintended use of the microwave oven.

When the control is locked, only the Vent Fan and Light buttons will function. If any pad on the Control Panel is touched, “LOCK” will appear in the display and 3 short tones will sound.

To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the microwave oven and Timer are off. Touch and hold OFF for

5 seconds until 2 tones sound and a padlock icon appears in the display. Repeat to unlock and remove the padlock icon from the display.

Vent Fan

The vent fan has 5 speeds ranging from 5 (fastest) to 1 (slowest). Zero (0) is off.

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 speed 5. It may stay on for up to

1 hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the Vent Fan pad will not function.

To Turn Vent Fan On/Off: Repeatedly touch the VENT FAN

5 SPEEDS pad to cycle through the speeds 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 and off, 0. “FAN” and the selected number will appear on the display for 2 seconds.

Timer

The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds, up to 99 minutes 99 seconds, and counts down the set time. The Timer does not start or stop the microwave oven.

When the Timer is in use, the microwave oven can also operate. To see the time countdown for 5 seconds when the microwave oven is in use, touch TIMER SET/OFF.

1.Touch TIMER SET/OFF.

If no action is taken after 1 minute, 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.

If not touched within 5 seconds, “START?” will appear on the display. If not touched within 1 minute, the display will return to the time of day mode and the programmed function will be canceled.

When the set time ends, “END” will appear on the display and 1 tone will sound.

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

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the above steps.

Cooktop Light

The cooktop light has 3 settings: on, night and off.

To Turn On/Night/Off: Touch LIGHT ON/NIGHT/OFF repeatedly to cycle through settings.

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 magnetron. The microwave oven light will come on, the fan will run and, if on, the turntable will rotate.

To Turn On/Off: The microwave oven and Timer must be off. Touch and hold TIMER SET/OFF for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound and “d” appears on the display. Repeat to turn off and remove “d” from the display.
