Use the lights

You can control the exterior lights on the bottom of your microwave if you’d like them to be brighter. They can be dimmed or turned off as well. It's perfect for when you need better light while cooking or if you're in the kitchen for a midnight snack and want a nightlight.

Press the Light button twice to set the lights to Low.
Press the Light button three times to turn off the lights.

Press the Vent 2 Speed button (or Vent 4 Speed button depending on your model) to set the speed level. If your model does not have a Vent speed button, you can cycle through the speeds using the Vent button.
