Timer

Child Lock

The Child 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.
To Lock/Unlock Control: The microwave oven and Timer must
be off. Touch and hold START for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound
and a lock icon appears on the display. Repeat to unlock and
remove the lock icon from display.

Vent Fan

The vent fan has speeds ranging from 1 (LOW) to 5 (HIGH). The
first time the Vent Fan is turned on after power is supplied to the
microwave oven, it will start at speed level 1. Each time the fan is
turned on, it will start at the speed level that was used last.
To protect the microwave oven, the vent fan will automatically
turn on at the HIGH setting if the temperature from the range or
cooktop below gets too hot. It may stay on for up to one hour to
cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the VENT FAN pads
will not function.
To Turn Vent Fan On/Off:
1. Touch VENT FAN ON-OFF pad.
2. Touch HIGHER or LOWER pad to increase or decrease the
fan speed.
The display will show "FAN" and a number between 1 and 5
to indicate fan speed. After 2 seconds, the display returns to
previous display.

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 for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound and "d"
appears on the display. Repeat to turn off and remove "d" from
the display.
