Posted .To disable the Child Lock feature: press and hold the “7” key for 3-5 seconds or until
you hear a beep and release. Press the “9” key and release. Press the “0” key and release. There will be two short beeps and the display will flash "UnLo" to confirm you successfully disabled this feature. For more information, review the online Owner's Manual by clicking on the Features tab and scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. It's also available on our GE Appliances site by using your model number to search. -Vikki@GEAppliances

Difficult to Read Panel

It’s very difficult to read the words on the front panel and it’s so big. see why it was on sale, if I hadn’t thrown the box away I would return it. I use it for , maybe a year. I’m currently looking for a better product.
