Is the door icon illuminated?

A new 2-step door-opening feature has been added to some microwaves to help avoid unintended access. When children cannot access the appliance, there is a disabled function if the 2-step functionality is unnecessary. Once you set the cooking time and press the Start button, the Door Lock icon will appear on the display.

To open the microwave, press the Stop button and the Door Release button. For additional information on this feature, please refer to the Owner's Manual. 

Enable/Disable

NOTE: Disabling this feature should only be done when the owner is certain that children are absent.

  1. After pressing the Stop/Unlock button for 3 seconds, “EA:_0” will show on the display.
  2. After pressing the “+” button, “EA:_1” will show on the display,
  3. Press the Start button to confirm.
