Got it
Do you know the exact model? The instructions on how to turn off lock settings can differ.

not sure

I see.
Press the ‘Off/Clear’ button on the touch panel to cancel any currently active process.
This will simply cause the microwave to undergo a soft reset. You’ll notice the timer stop, and the internal clock will appear on the microwave again.
Tell me if it helps.

I cannot help because I do not know the exact model of your device, *****.
As I said before, the instructions vary from device to a device.

Customer Replay

ok

You can check your microwave model here:
Inside the microwave, on the left side wall.
Bottom of over-the-range microwaves, usually near the back.
On the back.
Try looking for it on the back of your microwave, please.
