If you just try to run the micro and say press 120 and cook it will start to run and then the numbers start blinking and flashing in and out and then the whole panel where the time is looks like it fills up with lots of japanese symbols and numbers and then if you clear it, it tells you to reset the clock and so on. So we have been unable to use our micro. Can you please help me with this and answer me at my email at: naturallyblessed@att.net Thank you so kindly, Debra Petzke
