One tone

Valid entry (short tone)

End of Timer countdown (long tone) (on some models)

End of stage in multistage cooking

Reminder, repeat each minute after the end-of-cycle tones

Three tones

Invalid entry

Child Lock active

End of cycle

To Turn Off/On Valid Entry Tones: Touch and hold the number 
pad “1” for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound. Repeat to turn tones 
back on.

To Turn Off/On All Tones: Touch and hold the number pad “2” 
for 5 seconds until 2 tones sound. Repeat to turn tones back on.

Timer

The Timer can be set in minutes and seconds, up to 99 minutes 
99 seconds, and counts down the set time. The Timer does not 
start or stop the microwave oven.

When the Timer is in use, the microwave oven can also operate. 
To see the time countdown for 5 seconds when the microwave 
oven is in use, touch TIMER SET/OFF.

To Set:

1. Touch TIMER SET/OFF.

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 TIMER SET/OFF or 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 mode and the programmed function will be 
canceled.

When the set time ends, “END” will appear on the display and 
1 tone will sound.

If the Timer is active in the display, touch TIMER SET/OFF to 
cancel timer. If the Timer is not active in the display, touch 
TIMER SET/OFF to make the Timer active in the display, then 
touch TIMER SET/OFF again or OFF to cancel the Timer.

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

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating the 
above steps.

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 OFF 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 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 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.
