To Set:

The microwave oven must be off.

1. Touch and hold CLOCK (TIMER/CLOCK) pad for 3 seconds 

to enter Clock mode. The “hour” digit will flash.

2. Touch [+] or [–] pad repeatedly until the desired hour is 

displayed (1 to 12).

3. Touch CLOCK pad to confirm the hour. The “minutes” digits 

will flash.

4. Touch [+] or [–] pad repeatedly until the desired minutes are 

displayed (0 to 59).

5. Touch CLOCK pad to confirm the minutes and exit Clock 

mode.

To Cancel Clock: Enter Clock mode, then touch CANCEL/OFF. 
The “:” will appear in the display.

Timer

NOTE: The Timer does not start or stop the microwave oven.

Cook functions may be used while the Timer is counting down. 
When the cook function is active in the display, touch 
TIMER/CLOCK to see the Timer count down for 3 seconds. 

Touching TIMER/CLOCK while the Timer is active in the display 
will send the Timer countdown to the background. While the 
Timer is running in the background, the colon will flash. 

The Timer may be set in the following increments, in minutes and 
seconds: 

To Set:

1. Touch TIMER/CLOCK. The default time of 5 seconds will 

show in the display.

2. Touch the [+] or [–] pad repeatedly to set the desired time. 

Touching and holding the pad will cause the display to scroll 
rapidly through the increments

3. Touch START.

When the set time ends, the end-of-Timer tone will sound.

To Cancel Timer: While the Timer countdown is active in the 
display, touch CANCEL/OFF. 

If a cook function countdown is active in the display, touch 
TIMER/CLOCK to show the Timer countdown, then touch 
CANCEL/OFF to cancel the Timer. Touching CANCEL/OFF while 
a cook function countdown is active in the display will cancel the 
cook function, not the Timer.

The time can be reset during the countdown by repeating Step 2 
above while the Timer is active in the display.

indicate the following:

Control Lock

The Control Lock disables the control panel pads to avoid 
unintended use of the microwave oven.

To Lock/Unlock Control: The microwave oven must be off. 
Touch and hold CANCEL/OFF for 3 seconds until the tone 
sounds and “Loc” appears in the display. The display will return 
to time of day mode (if Clock is set) after 3 seconds. Repeat to 
unlock.

If any control pad is touched while the Control Lock is active, 
“Loc” reappears in the display for 3 seconds, and invalid entry 
tones will sound.
