Safety Lock Guide

For safety, this microwave requires a 2-step process to open the door. This safety door lock feature reduces the risks to young children by reducing the likelihood of them handling hot food and beverage items.

When the Safety Lock is enabled, you must complete the 2-step process each time you open the door.

If there are no young children in your household, or disabilities make it difficult for adults to operate the 2-step door latch, refer to the instructions below to disable the safety lock feature and convert the door to a 1-step push button latch.

  • Use one finger to locate and press the safety lock button on the right side of the door.

  • While pressing the lock button, use your thumb to press the door latch release button on the front of the door.
