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.
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.
The TIMER icon will appear in the display.
If not touched within 5 seconds, “ENTER TIME IN MIN AND
SEC” will scroll in the display. If not touched within 2 minutes,
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 in the display and
2 tones will sound.
Remember, 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.
The length of time can be changed during the countdown by
repeating the above steps.
Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
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 low 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 at low speed
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.
