Reset the clock. Press "Clock" and the correct time, using the number pads. Press "AM/PM" if applicable, and press "Start" or "Clock" to confirm.

2 Press "Timer On/Off" to reset the timer if nothing on the touch pad will operate. Use the number pads to select a new timed amount, if desired, and press "Timer On/Off" to start. Press again to cancel.

The Child Lock prevents unwanted oven operation such as by small children. The oven can be set so that the control panel is deactivated or locked. To set, touch CLOCK, the number 1 pad and then touch the START pad and hold for 3 seconds. Should a pad be touched, will appear in the display. To cancel, touch CLOCK, the number 1 and STOP/CLEAR pads

Press and hold the Clear/Off button for about 3 seconds again. This toggles the Child Lock.

I hope this helps.

(I used the model given above to check if the toggle command was the same or different from the lock command. If your microwave is a different model, try pressing the CANCEL button for about 3 seconds.)

March 2009 press the function key,select option #5, select option#2. This should take it out of child lock. If this doesn't work enclose your model number and I will try to look up the manual


Or, press "Cancel" three times to clear the (child) lock.
You set the lock by pressing "Start" three times.

The Child Lock is on.

Your owner's manual covers it. If for some reason you don't have yours, you can download it free here.
