To set the clock, press the "Clock" button, then use the number pad to input the current time. Once the time is set, press "Clock" again to confirm.
Ensure that the microwave is plugged in and the door is properly closed. Check the circuit breaker and try resetting it. If the problem persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
Use the "Defrost" function by pressing the "Defrost" button, then enter the weight of the food item. The microwave will automatically adjust the time and power level for optimal defrosting.
To clean the interior, use a damp cloth with mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaners and ensure the microwave is unplugged before cleaning.
To activate the child lock, press and hold the "Stop/Cancel" button for about 3 seconds until the display shows "LOCK". To deactivate, repeat the process until the "LOCK" indicator disappears.
No, do not use metal containers or utensils in the microwave as they can cause sparks and damage the appliance. Use microwave-safe glass or plastic containers instead.
The maximum cooking time you can set is 99 minutes and 99 seconds. If a longer time is needed, you will need to reset the timer after the initial cooking period.
Press the "Power Level" button and then enter the desired power level percentage using the number pad. For example, to set 50% power, enter "5".
Some noise is normal during operation, but if the buzzing is loud or unusual, it could indicate a malfunction. Ensure the microwave is on a flat, stable surface and that the turntable is properly aligned. If the issue persists, contact a service technician.
To reset the microwave, unplug it from the power outlet, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. This will reset the settings to default.
