GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Using the Child Lock
The Child Lock locks the control panel so children

them to.

Touch and hold START/ENTER for 4 seconds. Three
tones, followed by 2 tones, will sound and “LOC” will
appear on the display.
To unlock the control panel:
Touch and hold START/ENTER for 4 seconds. Two
tones will sound and “LOC” will be cleared from the
display.
Using the Demo/Learning feature
You can see your microwave oven’s functions without
turning the oven on.
Note: This feature can only be used when the
microwave oven is first connected to power. You
cannot use the Demo/Learning feature after a
Command pad has been touched.
To set the Demo/Learning feature:
1. Open the door and keep it open.
2. Touch and hold Number pad 0 for 4 seconds.
Three tones, followed by two tones, will sound.
3. Release Number pad 0.
4. Shut the door to start the Demo/Learning feature.
To cancel the Demo/Learning feature:
Touch OFF/CANCEL.
USING THE FAN
The pad on the bottom right of the control panel
controls the 2-speed Fan.
1. Choose fan speed.
Press FAN once for HIGH, twice for LOW.
NOTE: If the temperature gets too hot around the
microwave oven, the exhaust fan in the vent hood
will automatically turn on at the LOW setting to
protect the oven. It may stay on up to an hour to
cool the oven. When this occurs, you cannot turn
the fan off manually.
2. Turn fan off when desired.
Press FAN until it turns off.
NOTES:
If you have entered all settings for a function but do
not touch START/ENTER within 5 seconds, the
START indicator light will flash.
If you open the door while the oven is on and then
shut the door, the START indicator light will flash.
Touch START/ENTER to restart the oven.
If you choose a function but do not press another
Command pad within 1 minute, the display returns to
the time of day and you have to start over.
Audible signals
Audible signals are available to guide you when
setting and using your oven:
A programming tone will sound each time you
touch a pad.
One long tone signals the end of a Minute Timer
countdown.
Four tones signal the end of a cooking cycle.
Two tones sound once every minute after an End-
of-Cooking signal as a reminder if food has not been
removed from oven.
Three tones sound if you have made an incorrect
entry.
To disable all audible signals:
Touch and hold Number pad 1 for 4 seconds to
disable all programming tones.
To turn all signals back on:
Repeat step under “To disable all audible signals”
above.
NOTE: Three tones, followed by two tones, will sound
when audible signals are turned on or off. The three
tones will be omitted if all tones are disabled.
Interrupting cooking
You can stop the oven during a cycle by opening the
door. The oven stops heating and the fan stops, but
the light stays on.
To restart cooking, close the door and touch
START/ENTER.
If you do not want to continue cooking:
Close the door and the light goes off.
OR
Touch OFF/CANCEL.
