Timer
The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds, up to 99 minutes,
99 seconds and counts down the set time.
NOTE: The Timer does not start or stop the microwave oven.
When the Timer is in use, the microwave oven can still operate.
To see the time countdown for 5 seconds while the microwave
oven is in use, touch TIMER.
To Set:
1. Touch TIMER.
If no action is taken after 1 minute, the display will return to
the time of day mode.
2. Touch the number pads to set the length of time.
3. Touch START.
If not touched within 5 seconds, “START?” will appear on the
display. If not touched within 1 minute, the display will return
to the time of day.
When the set time ends, “END” will appear on the display and
1 long tone will sound.
4. Touch TIMER or CANCEL anytime to cancel the Timer.
If using the Timer during a cooking function, do not touch
CANCEL to cancel Timer, as the cooking function will also
cancel.
The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the
above steps.
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.
MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the oven produces microwaves which reflect off
the metal floor, walls and ceiling and pass through the turntable
and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted
to and absorbed by fat, sugar and water molecules in the food,
causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks
the food.
■ Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when
oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken.
See “Assistance or Service” section to reorder.
■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in the
oven.
■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper should not be dried in the
oven.
■ Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or
deep frying. The oven cannot maintain appropriate
temperatures.
■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the oven because it does not
absorb microwaves.
■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
oven.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
