What DEMO ON Means

DEMO ON means demonstration mode: features can be shown with no microwave power. The manual also warns that a cooking time counting down very rapidly is a sign of demo mode. It is set with Set Clock, 0 and START held for three seconds, and canceled with Set Clock, 0, STOP/CLEAR, or by unplugging and replugging.

Common Causes of DEMO ON

  • Demo mode switched on

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Press Set Clock, 0, then STOP/CLEAR. If that is awkward, unplug the microwave and plug it back in.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • No repair is needed.
  • If food still does not heat after leaving demo mode, the microwave needs service.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
