1 minute of cook time at the current cook power.

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.

1. Touch TIMER SET/OFF.

The TIMER icon will appear in the display.

display. If tones are turned off, “OFF TIMER” will appear in 
the display as a reminder.

Remember, touching OFF CANCEL while a cook function is 
active in the display will cancel the cook function, not the 
Timer.

4. Touch TIMER SET/OFF or OFF CANCEL to cancel the Timer 

when only the Timer is operating.

and then touch OFF CANCEL to cancel the Timer. The cook 
function will continue to operate.

Control Lock

The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent 
unintended use of the microwave oven.

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 OFF CANCEL for 3 seconds until 
2 tones sound and a padlock icon appears in the display. Repeat
