Control Lock
The Control Lock disables all controls to avoid unintended use of
the microwave oven. The only control that will function while the
Control Lock is active is the STOP pad on the control panel.
Control Lock activation is possible only when the display is at the
Main Menu.
To Activate Control Lock:
Touch and hold STOP control for
5 seconds. Two tones will sound, and the display will show the
padlock icon.
If any controls are touched while the Control Lock is active, the
“Control Lock” reminder screen appears for 5 seconds.
To Deactivate Control Lock:
Touch and hold STOP control for
5 seconds. Two tones will sound, and the padlock icon will be
removed from the display.
Vent Fan and Cooktop Lights
The microwave oven’s hood controls, on the left side of the
control panel (see “Parts and Features”) operate the vent fan and
cooktop lights.
Vent Fan
The vent fan has 3 regular speeds: high, medium and low. The
vent fan also has a max speed, which is the highest speed.
To avoid damage to the microwave oven, the vent fan will
automatically turn on at high speed if the temperature from the
cooking surface below gets too hot. It may stay on for up to 1
hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the vent fan
cannot be turned off. After the microwave oven has cooled, the
vent fan will automatically turn off.
The vent fan will automatically turn on at low speed during
convection or grill cooking, and may stay on for up to 10 minutes
after the cycle has ended.
NOTE:
For optimal vent system performance, turn on the vent
fan before using the cooking surface below. This will maximize
steam capture.
To Operate Vent Fan:
Touch FAN control repeatedly to cycle
through the settings: high, medium, low and off. Touch
FAN EXHAUST control to turn on the max speed. The status will
be displayed for a few seconds while the settings are being
adjusted.
Cooktop Lights
The cooktop lights have 3 brightness settings: high, medium and
low. The low setting may be appropriate for night light use.
To Turn Light On/Off:
Touch LIGHT control repeatedly to cycle
through the settings: high, medium, low and off. The status will
be displayed for a few seconds while the settings are being
adjusted.
Cooking Animation
The cooking animation appears during any cooking cycle,
whether automatic or manual. The animation shows what type of
cooking is taking place.
Progress Bar
The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time
of a sensor cooking cycle. It will appear at the beginning of
sensor cooking functions. A horizontal bar appears below the
word “Sensing,” and shows progress by the darkening of the bar
left to right. Some time after the progress bar appears, it may be
replaced by “Maximum Time Remaining” indicator and the
estimated remaining time, which may fluctuate often. When
sensing is finished, “Time Remaining” will appear with the actual
remaining cook time.
The progress bar will also appear during microwave oven
preheating.
