Safety First!
Federal law requires microwave ovens to be equipped with a door lock function. This is to prevent burns—to children or anyone unfamiliar with its use—when pulling hot plates out after cooking.
When cooking starts, the door automatically locks*
Here's how to open/unlock the microwave oven door, as well as how to deactivate the door lock.

- [ Timer/Clock (Door Open) ]
- Door release button
NOTE: The locked door will disengage when unit is unplugged.
