Control Lock

The Control Lock disables the control panel pads to prevent

unintended use of the microwave oven.

While the control panel is locked, only the Vent Fan and Light

controls will function. If any other control 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 CANCEL 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, the vent fan will automatically

turn on at speed 5 if the temperature from the range or cooktop

below the microwave oven 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.

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 pad

repeatedly to cycle through the 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 microwave generator (magnetron). The microwave oven

light will come on, the fan will run, and the turntable will rotate (if

set ON).

To Turn On /O ff: The microwave oven and Timer must be off.

Touch and hold TIMER SET/OFF for 5 seconds until 2 tones

sound and “d” appears in 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.

■ Do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave

oven door.

■ Do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.

■ The turntable must be in place and correct side up when

microwave 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

microwave oven.

■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including

brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in

microwave oven.

■ Do not use the microwave oven for canning, sterilizing or

deep frying. The microwave oven cannot maintain

appropriate temperatures.

■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it

does not absorb microwaves.

■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from

microwave oven.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended

cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes

stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.

■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam

buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover

poached eggs and allow a standing time.

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting

temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking

results.

Amount of Food

The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.

Check for doneness and add small increments of time if

necessary.

Size and Shape

Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,

and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly

shaped food.

Starting Temperature

Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,

and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density

Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and

will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as

meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size

of a light, porous food, such as cake.
