My wife and I just got this microwave and couldn't find the popcorn button. We read the manual several times and that didn't help. Then decided to try to find a youtube video. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, for taking time to make this video. You would think they would include the location of the menu buttons in the direction. I couldn't find it. Thanks again!!!
I was just strolling through TH-cam and noticed you had a microwave like mine. Watched your video and glad I did, because I did know my microwave had none of those setting. Thanks 😊
Just bought this microwave yesterday and didn’t know this. Haven’t unboxed it yet! When I saw it I was like “where are the buttons?” But I still bought it anyway and I’m glad I did. Thank you for this video!!!
anybody know how to cook 2 baked potatoes in this micro using the sensor buttons? with My old one when you pressed the potatoe button it would show a number so you could choose how many potatoes....With this one it just flashes SC-3?
I just bought the same one last night and it wasn’t simple to cook my frozen breakfast entree this morning. Well- 👀look a here! Thank you! I haven’t had time to read the manual working double shifts.
Remember to be very careful don’t use the microwave without putting something in a friend did it, it caught fire and had to replace and get another 1. so be very CAREFUL!
Fe 🌺 you should get one of those little domes you put over your plate or bowl to reheat in the microwave you can get them at Walmart they come in real handy , keep in moisture and keeps messes down from splatters ! It's fun finding out new things a gadget can do 😃👍
I've been trying to figure how to reduce the power level, however, every time I hit power level it doesn't do anything and just shows p10, I've tried everything and it's nowhere in the instructional guide. Ps I noticed those buttons 2 weeks after I got it 😂😂
I just looked in the instructions manual on page 13, it is instruction 10 Memory Function. Has instructions on how to change the power level (PL). I hope this helps 🙂
@@FelineFe thanks, looks like it was in page 16, as power level was mentioned in page 13 under operation but didn't say how to change it I thought it was nowhere hahaha
@@Naya_689 Hint: it's one of the last buttons you hit. Just before you select the power level 1-10. Start by selecting time then hit power level then select 1-10.
Silly question.. I just bought mine a hr ago. We are supposed to move the square piece of cardboard that is covering the holes where the lights are to the right, when you open the door on inside?
I’ll be excited when I find out how to set 5 second intervals. The newer ones don’t have the 0 thru 9 key pad anymore. Just a 1 min & 5 min with - and + buttons. I have never needed to read the instruction manual on a microwave before and can’t find it now! I can get like 40 seconds set but not 45 seconds, and it makes a difference with breakfast biscuits, grrrr! It also vibrates strange when in use compared to my previous HB microwave! This is so ridiculous! 🥴😩🫤
I love this microwave. We got it for Christmas. I came here wondering how the sensors work I believe it senses for a few minutes at an average appropriate temperature for what you chose (popcorn, frozen vegetable, ect) then after a while it actually starts a timer It’s weird trying to use it for things that already have microwave directions, because I don’t know which is best haha
Mine does more than 2 years now since purchase still works as new, if I had the money at the time I would’ve bought the microwave that was also an oven and air fryer though.
I did too I never seen that before I was about ready to get rid of the Microwave my husband hated cause he couldn’t figure how to use it lol you saved my microwave lol
Yes cause I had to shine a flashlight on mine and then try to remember the symbols for things or either the order of the symbols.But the clock light is almost too bright
I really like my Hamilton beach microwave, but my ONLY beef is the panel doesn’t light up. Would have never purchased it. Very disappointing. Like what were they thinking? Too late now. Phone light helps some. But on the bright side I can warm stuff during the daytime!!!😂😅🤣
I'm that somebody out there...lol. I just bought this online and didn't realize it had those buttons until I was looking for reviews and saw this then went and compared it to the online listing. So thank you !
Anyone knows if this have a backlight or something? Because the buttons are all black and is difficult to see them. Other than that it’s a cool microwave
@@FelineFe Totally understand what you mean. Another thing I’ve got an issue with is the color of the Start/Pause button. I keep on hitting the Start button to stop the cycle because of the color. I’m use to Green = Go, Red = Stop. I know the Pause/Stop button is blue but it looks green under dim lighting. I’m under the impression someone skipped UX design class. Otherwise, if this microwave was designed and made in China I’m quite certain we’re being screwed with. Its not like microwaves were invented yesterday…there honestly should be a one microwave to rule them all at this point. Just venting here but holy damnation, no wonder there’s so much garbage in the world.
I just bought this microwave in white. I haven't picked it up yet, but I did watch another youtube video that highlighted this feature. I'm as excited as you are and I'm in Fort Worth TX TOO! I can actually the the hospital I was born in from my livingroom window. Look how far I've come! Love the video. Thanks.
Yes, it is in the .manual. Hope you have found it.If not hold the pause button for three seconds or until it beeps and shows a rectangular symbol and then hold for three or. more seconds to unlock.
Ha ha I did the same thing… they put them inside the door 👍🪴 WHO KNEW ?

Your very welcome! I'm glad you found the video and it helped 🙂
Do you know how to silence this model microwave?
I was just strolling through TH-cam and noticed you had a microwave like mine. Watched your video and glad I did, because I did know my microwave had none of those setting. Thanks 😊
Glad I was not the only one to not notice those buttons! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂
@@FelineFe Oh sweet cheezits, there are two of you.
Cool! Didn’t know they hid the buttons like that. Thanks for sharing.
i went crazy when i first found these too lol
Oh my goodness lol I just bought this yesterday I would of never of noticed lol thank you
Glad the video was helpful 😁
Are you people blind.
Just bought this microwave yesterday and didn’t know this. Haven’t unboxed it yet! When I saw it I was like “where are the buttons?” But I still bought it anyway and I’m glad I did. Thank you for this video!!!
Your very welcome. I felt so stupid when I finally found the buttons 🤦♀️🤣
I have this microwave and was so excited when I found out it had these buttons lol😅 I can’t figure out how to change the power level though
To defrost or heat on low... Hit Time Cook, select minutes i.e. 5 min, hit power level, then - or plus (5 would be half power).
Thanks. I just bought one a few days ago. Was going crazy looking for those buttons
anybody know how to cook 2 baked potatoes in this micro using the sensor buttons? with My old one when you pressed the potatoe button it would show a number so you could choose how many potatoes....With this one it just flashes SC-3?
I just bought this. Can it be silenced?
I just got one..and cant find a solution. Did you ever find a way to silence yours? Thanks
pull the plug just before it is finished cooking.
Can you tell us how to set the clock
Do you know if there is a way to mute the beeping? I have this same microwave
I have not read anything about how to stop the beeping 🤔
I just bought the same one last night and it wasn’t simple to cook my frozen breakfast entree this morning. Well- 👀look a here! Thank you! I haven’t had time to read the manual working double shifts.
Is there anyway to mute or silence the microwave?
1 year later, this microwave still good?
Yes still good!
Remember to be very
careful don’t use the
microwave without putting
something in a friend
did it, it caught fire and had
to replace and get another 1.
so be very CAREFUL!
🤣🤣🤣
Surprise!
Yeah 🤦♀️🤣🤣

Glad you figured it out, that microwave has all kinds of features but kinda hard to figure out 😂👍
Hi, how do you change the power level? I threw my instruction manual away months ago
@@Naya_689 Hint: it's one of the last buttons you hit. Just before you select the power level 1-10. Start by selecting time then hit power level then select 1-10.
Any one know how to put this on silent mode and to take the beeping noises away please help thank you ?!?!
Im am also looking for a solution. Did you find a way to silence yours? Thanks
Open the door before it is finished
Thank you didn’t know 😂
where is Captain Obvious when we need him? 🤣
and not one button to turn off the annoying beep sounds. neat
I have this same microwave. Beeping stops the second you open the door. It’s a great microwave for $77 lol
A 77 dollar microwave should have a way to silence the beeps and adjust the brightness on display. Even cheap clock radios have those functions.
Did you ever find a way to silence the beeps? Thanks
No I ended up breaking it with a hammer last time I got bored and ran out of water.@@misterdinkly
@@misterdinkly Put a magnetic photo or refrigerator magnet over it it if bothers you. Or, don't keep it in your bedroom
How did I set the time on this microwave? I have the same one but I can’t set the time.
Press the clock button lol
Silly question.. I just bought mine a hr ago. We are supposed to move the square piece of cardboard that is covering the holes where the lights are to the right, when you open the door on inside?
I just looked and I did not remove it. Think it is suppose to stay there.
My microwave is way smarter than i am, the written instructions are in small print. 🍪
Hey Feline Fe! I luv my microwave oven too it does everything.👍🏼🤣
I just found out about this sensor menus 2 months ago. Lol
I discovered them on my microwave that I just got today I have the same exact model except mine is white
PLZ help me. I just got it and it doesn't want to heat up. How do I use it?
I’ll be excited when I find out how to set 5 second intervals. The newer ones don’t have the 0 thru 9 key pad anymore. Just a 1 min & 5 min with - and + buttons. I have never needed to read the instruction manual on a microwave before and can’t find it now! I can get like 40 seconds set but not 45 seconds, and it makes a difference with breakfast biscuits, grrrr! It also vibrates strange when in use compared to my previous HB microwave! This is so ridiculous! 🥴😩🫤
Hint, when it gets down to 5 seconds, open the dayum door and make it stop
Can we do anything about our light? It’s too bright!
hmm not sure about that.
I would just stick my grandson's magnetic school picture over the light, if it bothered me.
How to cook the popcorn in your microwave please
I did the same thing, just took me a year to find them
Have one like yours and hate it. Too hard to read the buttons on such a dark background.
And the manual sucks.
I wonder why they made the background dark? Makes no sense, not well thought out.
😂🤣😂🤣
awesome...!!!
I have a question I have the same microwave so how many mins do I cook my tv dinners on so not under or over cooked plz explain thank you
keep pressing the 1 or 5 minutes button until you get to where you want. Then the minus button under the 1 minute option, to take away a few seconds.
Microwaved food is unhealthy.
😁😆
Yes, I hate the stupid design it’s not intuitive

What’s the make of the microwave?
Hamilton beach
Does it still work?
Mine does more than 2 years now since purchase still works as new, if I had the money at the time I would’ve bought the microwave that was also an oven and air fryer though.
This Microwave Rules!! 💯🏆🥇
Yea not gonna lie I ran to my microwave so fast and popped the door when I saw this...
I did too I never seen that before I was about ready to get rid of the Microwave my husband hated cause he couldn’t figure how to use it lol you saved my microwave lol
My only issue is that the buttons are hard to see.
very hard to see!
Yes cause I had to shine a flashlight on mine and then try to remember the symbols for things or either the order of the symbols.But the clock light is almost too bright
Exactly. What poor constructions. I will be writing to the Hamilton Beach office, explain my case and maybe the next model will be improved. 🤞🏻
Only had for 3 months and just stop working out of nowhere
Oh no!! Sorry to hear that, mine is still working just fine.
Anyone know how to put this one on silent mode?
That’s what I came to the comments for
Did you ever find a solution? I want to silence mine too Any luck? Thanks
Did you find a way yet? Thanks
unplug it
Gurl, I'd never admit that I had my head up my A$$ every time I opened the door.
I really like my Hamilton beach microwave, but my ONLY beef is the panel doesn’t light up. Would have never purchased it. Very disappointing. Like what were they thinking? Too late now. Phone light helps some. But on the bright side I can warm stuff during the daytime!!!😂😅🤣
Don't cook in the dark.
I have those same dinner plates.
Does the manual say anything about the microwave stuck on zero. Like I'm unable to press anything. I'm thinking of buying another after 2 month of use
I'm that somebody out there...lol. I just bought this online and didn't realize it had those buttons until I was looking for reviews and saw this then went and compared it to the online listing. So thank you !
Anyone knows if this have a backlight or something? Because the buttons are all black and is difficult to see them. Other than that it’s a cool microwave
That is why I never noticed these buttons til months after I had bought the microwave.... they are so dark!
Turn on the kitchen light, never cook in the dark
When I put anything
in my microwave
oven. I cover food
with a paper towel
so it don’t splatter
up the inside. 😃👍🏼
Just bought one today. Had no idea about this. Thank You!
Great microwave,that’s a lot off options 👍👍👍👍🤝👋❤️🌈🙏🏻thx Fe
I don’t think this is your fault and you shouldn’t feel stupid…it’s REALLY BAD product design. Stupid engineering IMO. Shitty printed manual too.
Thank you, I don't understand why they put them inside like that and dark so they are hard to see 🤷♀️

YeeHaw Fort Worth 🤠 I can see the skyline of Fort Worth from where I am 🌇
@@FelineFe Yeah, I'm just south of Downtown. This place is getting GENTRIFRIED!
well shooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot
read the owners manual
Good tip lol
Does anyone know how to put a child lock on this microwave?
Yes, it is in the .manual. Hope you have found it.If not hold the pause button for three seconds or until it beeps and shows a rectangular symbol and then hold for three or. more seconds to unlock.
Useless
Happy, happy, happy. Nice features for sure, sometimes it pays to stop and read things around us, Fe. 👀👓🔍
