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 CANCEL 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.
Cooktop Light
The cooktop light has 4 settings: high, medium, night and off.
To Turn On/Night/Off: Touch LIGHT HIGH-MED-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.
