How do I activate or deactivate the child lock?

Troubleshooting
Microwave is not turning on or heating food.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning outlet. Ensure the door is closed firmly and that the child lock is not activated. If still unresponsive, check your household circuit breaker.
Food is not heating evenly or taking too long.
Verify that you are using appropriate power levels and cooking times for the food type and quantity. Ensure the glass turntable is correctly seated and rotating. Stir or rotate food halfway through cooking for more even heating.
Display shows an error code or flashing numbers.
Consult the user manual for specific error code meanings. Often, unplugging the microwave for a few minutes and then plugging it back in (a 'hard reset') can resolve minor electronic glitches. If the problem persists, contact customer support.
Child Lock is activated and I can't use the microwave.
Refer to your user manual for the specific sequence to deactivate the child lock. Typically, this involves pressing and holding a designated 'Stop' or 'Cancel' button for a few seconds until the lock indicator disappears.
