The All Off cooktop touch control turns off the downdraft exhaust

system and all surface cooking areas that are in use at the same

time.

The Lock cooktop control avoids unintended use of the surface

cooking areas. When the cooktop is locked out, the surface

cooking areas cannot be turned on by the cooktop touch

controls.

To Lock Cooktop: Touch and hold the ALL OFF/LOCK keypad

for 4 seconds. After 4 seconds, ALL OFF/LOCK will glow red,

indicating that the cooktop controls are in the lockout position.

To Unlock Cooktop: Touch and hold the ALL OFF/LOCK keypad
for 4 seconds.

SOME MICROWAVE CONTROLS HAVE A LOCKOUT FEATURE FOR CHILD SECURITY. ONE OF THE PADS HAS TO BE HELD FOR 5 SECONDS TO LOCK OUT THE CONTROL.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHICH PAD IT IS, TRY HOLDING EACH TOUCH PAD FOR 5 SECONDS, ONE AT A TIME, UNTIL YOU FIND WHICH ONE UNLOCKS IT. THEN WRITE IT DOWN FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE. THE SAME PAD WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK THE CONTROL BY HOLDING IT DOWN FOR 5 SEOCNDS.

SOME ELECTRONIC CONTROLS HAVE A LOCKOUT FEATURE THAT IS ENGAGED AND DISENGEGED BY HOLDING A CERTAIN BUTTON FOR 5 SECONDS. LOOK FOR A LOCK PAD AND HOLD IT FOR 5 SECONDS TILL IT BEEPS.

IF NOT AVAILABLE, THE TOUCH PAD MAY BE UNPLUGGED FROM THE MAIN P.C. BOARD OR MAY BE DEFECTIVE.

ALSO, TRY UNPLUGGING THE MICROWAVE FOR 5 MINUTES
TO RESET THE MICROCOMPUTER, THEN PLUG IT BACK IN AND SEE IF IT WORKS.

AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET NOT WIRED WITH PROPER POLARITY OR NOT GROUNDED CAN AFFECT ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES ALSO.

Try unplugging it for 15 to 20 sec. Still won't work? Try unplugging longer.
