Control Lock
The Control Lock shuts down the control panel pads to prevent
unintended use of the microwave oven.
When the control is locked, only the VENT FAN 4 SPEEDS and
LIGHT ON/NIGHT/OFF pads will function. If any other pad is
touched, “LOCK” will appear in the display and 3 short tones will
sound.
The Control Lock is preset unlocked, but can be locked.
To Lock/Unlock Control: Before locking, make sure the
microwave oven and Timer are off. Touch and hold OFF/CANCEL
for five seconds until two tones sound and a picture of a lock
appears on the display. Repeat to unlock and remove the lock
picture from display.
Vent Fan
The vent fan has four speeds ranging from 4 (fastest) to 1
(slowest). 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 4. It may stay on for up to one
hour to cool the microwave oven. When this occurs, the VENT
FAN 4 SPEEDS pad will not function.
To Turn Vent Fan On/Off: Repeatedly touch the VENT FAN 4
SPEEDS pad to cycle through the four speeds 4, 3, 2 and 1 and
off, 0. “FAN” and the selected number will appear on the display
for two seconds.
Cooktop Light
The cooktop light has three options: on, night and off.
To Turn On/Night/Off: Repeatedly touch LIGHT ON/NIGHT/OFF
to cycle through options.
Demo Learning Mode
The demo learning 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.
Before setting, make sure the microwave oven and Timer are off.
To Turn On/Off: Touch and hold TIMER OFF for five seconds
until two 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.
■
Never lean on or allow children to swing on the oven door.
■
Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.
■
Heated liquids can splash out during and after heating. Use
of a wooden stir stick placed in the cup or bowl during
heating may help to avoid this.
■
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 five minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■
Do not cook or reheat whole eggs or eggs inside the shell.
Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover
poached eggs and allow a standing time.
