Child Lock

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

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.
