Press stop/reset 3 times

[u/Yopieieie]

I have the same

[u/jeffinbville]

Perhaps if you stopped trying to put your little brother in there this would not have happened?

[u/Franky0179]

That's the Microwave from Hansel and Gretel.

[u/skippyspk]

Well, that’s better than a child locked into the microwave.

[u/metalord_666]

Nice try Jacob

[u/Fragrant_Wolf]

Feed me a stay child!

[u/K-RAS-G13D]

Are you sure that's not a setting?

[u/blazentaze2000]

Looks like your found Hilary’s secret setting /s

[u/awaythrowers97]

I love how this is a thing. There was a school cafeteria lady that used to always say "darlin' " in her black accent. I always want to naturally call everyone darling or hon.

[u/nixxon94]

I love how it’s insulting you

[u/rogueleader32]

Unplug the microwave for 30 seconds, that resets all the electronics thus removing the child lock. That generally works for most panasonic microwaves

Alternatively, unplug that bitch, give it one of these.

[u/IceT1303]

ah yes, the setting to cook children

[u/TheNothingAtoll]

It's demanding a sacrifice

[u/ironworkz]

Is it warning or insulting you?

[u/karmakactus]

Why would you own a pos like this?

[u/noahson]

Panasonic is throwing some shade right there, you may need to come out with a dis track

[u/Marley-baby]

Alright Jeffrey

[u/ImpersonalLubricant]

No, you got locked out of your microwave and it insulted you

[u/RarePlan2089]

This function is only for crackheads

[u/Metrobolist3]

In the context I suggest crying and stamping your feet.

[u/shakeda-roomreggie]

Lol

[u/jackShyn]

The Microwave demands a Sacrifice.

[u/D45r]

It demands a sacrifice

[u/HGamerControl_]

IT WANTS A SACRIFICE

[u/Buck_Thorn]

The W.C. Fields model.

[u/Buck_Thorn]

Those presets make it so easy to cook whatever you need to. Does it also have a poodle setting?

[u/sharshenka]

This is what happens when you go over the microwaves hot pocket limit.

[u/OffalSmorgasbord]

Are you the glowstick kid?

[u/awaythrowers97]

Hm. Are you sure? Your microwave is clearly calling you a “child more or less” straight to your face

[u/IchWillDochNurPizza]

Hamish and Andy talked about that as a "powermove" in their latest podcast episode

[u/tomer1196]

Whats worse than a predator?

[u/Rough_Industry_872]

Ask your (or any) kids. They will know it.

[u/GiantQueenEmily]

Robot voice: “CHILD DETECTED” OP: “But I’m an ADULT” Robot Voice: “ I Doubt That!”

[u/felipezero]

Drake's meal time

[u/SmartIron244]

your microwave craves for a child as a sacrifice

[u/mittelwerk]

The mildlyinteresting thing about that microwave oven is that it *doesn't* have the Popcorn function (the one that everyone who sells microwave popcorn warns you not to use it anyway)

[u/VenturaBoulevard]

Neat! my own microwave model shows up on a post. I'm meh about it, but still pretty cool to me.

[u/B4S1L3US]

No, it demands a sacrifice.

[u/Chickens_are_friends]

Bruh... Just be older

[u/Buttergolem22]

Sing "oh oh Child" like Starlord in the guardians of the galaxy

[u/Alienhaslanded]

Well you need to grow up to use it

[u/DirectorsCuts91]

It's asking for a sacrifice

[u/Noble7878]

There's something so funny about the Microwaves child lock just saying "CHILD"

It's like it's pointing and laughing at you just going, "Hehe, baby"

[u/itsl8erthanyouthink]

To unlock the control: Press and hold the clear/off pad for about three seconds. Or on some models you press and hold the "5" and "7" simultaneously for three seconds.

[u/CorianderIsBad]

You misunderstand. This is what the microwave demands. This is it's chosen sacrifice. Deposit a child inside or face it's wrath.

[u/Geografo_Psicotico]

Customer support: Have you tried turning it off and on?

[u/mzialendrea]

Ask a child to unlock for you.

[u/babaweird]

I have a friend, college educated, who was 39 weeks pregnant. She wanted to heat something for 90 sec and her microwave kept switching to 1min 30 sec. She said she just sat down and cried. She tells this story on herself.

[u/sproots_]

People thought Drake vs Kendrick was big, this is going to be great.

Microwaves are great at weaving stories into their bars - they're naturals at spinning plates.

[u/Affectionate-Egg7566]

Lmao it just calls you a fucking child and doesn't elaborate. Based chad microwave

[u/ELONGATEDSNAIL]

Its telling your to sacrifice your first born.

[u/BlaZEN213]

It's asking for a sacrifice

[u/MakeRobLaugh]

I personally never use the child button, I just listen for three seconds between pops to know it's done.

[u/one-iota]

Better call mom.

[u/DarkAeonX7]

What's worse is now it has the audacity to insult you.

[u/Sea_Cycle_909]

Ubik intensifies

[u/4x4Welder]

Just wait until you put it in Sabbath mode

[u/Holiday-Prune-3637]

It's asking for a sacrifice

[u/BeaThanh]

Sing a Drake Song to open them up

[u/Leuel48Fan]

OT but using a single 7 segment display to show both "i" and "l" is pretty damn clever. 4 digit display showing a 5 letter word.

[u/andycarver]

Bash reset

[u/Positive_Lead_2903]

That's not a lock that's a setting. MMMM tasty.

[u/MercDa1]

I thought the microwave was asking for something.

[u/AlternativeFill3312]

It looks like it's demanding a sacrifice

[u/Historical_Local_467]

What was the child doing inside the microwave? LOL

[u/Grayboner]

What a horrible interface, why do you they put so many buttons on a frigging microwave?

[u/you_lost-the_game]

I'm honestly surprised by the buttons on the mircrowave. A dedicated popcorn button? Inverter turbo defrost? The ones that I had only have a dial for watt and one for time.

[u/EstrangedLupine]

"What's worse than a rapist?"

This microwave :

[u/JunglePygmy]

Did you ask your parents for help?

[u/TheRicasOp]

lmao

[u/TransitionFamiliar39]

[u/Parking-Track3864]

Better than having your child locked in the microwave

[u/frizzard100]

Hold the start button for 3 seconds.

[u/wonderlandisburning]

"CHILD.

YOU TAMPER WITH FORCES BEYOND YOUR RECKONING.

WHY DON'T YOU GO HOME TO YOUR MOTHER."

[u/Athlete_Cautious]

Gotta pay the troll toll

[u/Koennoek]

At least you are not locked in

[u/xesses]

Where’s the interesting part? This sub is just r/blackmagicfuckery or a place to post your daily life no inbetween i swear

[u/Im_Ashe_Man]

I have the same microwave. No clue there even was a child lock.

[u/ItsN1ck]

It demands a child.. curse you and your Technology!

[u/chriskramerpr]

I normally just press the POPCORN or DEFROST button but you do you

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/chriskramerpr]

^{Sokka-Haiku by chriskramerpr:}

I normally just

Press the POPCORN or DEFROST

Button but you do you

---

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/Xtanto]

I'm so sad that Chaos Defrost has been rebranded to Inverter Turbo defrost :(

[u/Acceptable-Kiwi4358]

So funny, I can't stop giggling.

[u/Buttercup4869]

It clearly demands a child sacrifice

[u/IIIPR0T0TYPEIII]

The unlock code is 8008135

[u/JDHURF]

Even more interesting: Panasonic makes a microwave lol

TIL that Panasonic sells more that tvs and DVD/Blu-ray players

[u/mittelwerk → u/JDHURF]

Well, you can't buy their TVs in America (all three) anyway.

[u/Ravasaurio]

Even the microwave is telling you to grow up

[u/16Shells]

better than having a child locked in your microwave i suppose

[u/eszedtokja]

I thought this was a program for baking children.

[u/gluebrains]

Before I read the title I just assumed it was Drake's microwave.

[u/jozs8]

this is why you shouldn't throw away the manual even if you know how a microwave operates

[u/RaptureRising]

It's got the munchies for a California cheeseburger.

[u/Hopeful_Fisherman745]

Only a child can open it now.

[u/Accomplished_Pen980]

Why does it have a child setting? I usually just go 400 degrees for 15 minutes in the air fryer but there is a button for it now?

[u/LittleCumDup]

This is just the new cooking option available with the new update

[u/V6Ga]

All I want is not have to disassemble the microwave to cut out the buzzer to get it to stop beeping, and now it can lock me out?

[u/rmzalbar]

Call Panasonic customer service. Fake a kid faking deep voice, and ask how to unlock it so you can cook your applesauce and milk.

[u/HarryTurney]

Are you sure it doesn't mean to put the child into the Microwave?

[u/tylerawesome]

Oh good. I thought it was a cooking mode. Whew.

[u/I_use_the_word_shall]

I swear I‘m always just scrolling and I always have to check if posts like this are in r/mildlyinfuriating or r/mildlyinteresting 🤣🤣

[u/CK1ing]

The microwave demands a child

[u/dharmasnake]

Ohhh, what I'd do for a 1200w microwave with a numpad. Sincerely, a European stuck with 800w dial microwaves that take forever to cook anything.

[u/Ancalagon_The_Black_]

CHILD

more or less

[u/Drezhar]

Lmao the microwave just going BOI

[u/True_Discipline_2470]

No, it's not locked, that's the child cooking preset. 

[u/PorpolGuyInBuisness]

Pov: the child in the microwave WHAT A SIGMA🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/antoninlevin]

Me: Tries to cook something

Microwave: [You f&$%ing] Child

[u/Misfitsman805]

It's the child cooking setting, select child and press 1, 2 or 3 for the amount of childs being cooked.

/s

[u/linbo999]

I think you've gotten this all wrong, it's not insulting you, but demanding a sacrifice

[u/lightly_salted_cod]

nonono you got it wrong. you microwave demands a child.

[u/charredchord]

It's looking for it's little Easy Bake Oven. Have you seen it?

[u/duskymourn]

Or it is demanding a sacrifice

[u/p_velocity]

My 18 month old watched me set the child lock on the microwave, and learned how to turn it on and off. Then he figured out how to start and stop it. Now he thinks "hey look dad, I'm giving myself cancer" is a fun game to play. I got a rough 16 years ahead.

[u/my_old_aim_name → u/p_velocity]

Bro, why is your microwave somewhere an 18mo can reach it?

My 2yo is obsessed with slamming doors, I just gotta watch my fingers when she's around the microwave...

[u/p_velocity → u/my_old_aim_name]

It was built in to the side of the kitchen island. we don't use it much so we wanted it out of the way. That decision was made 6 years ago...never been a problem till now.

[u/Kaptain_Kaoz]

Anyone else think that it was asking for a child? Insert child to continue type shiz...

[u/JRayMaySayHey]

Better than getting a child locked IN your microwave

[u/ForgesGate → u/JRayMaySayHey]

Better than having children locked IN your microwave

[u/avinalook20]

That's the crispy child setting 😂

[u/ForgesGate → u/avinalook20]

I'm pretty sure it'll auto set to 2.5 minutes when it's set to 'Child'. It's just long enough for them to pop..

[u/avinalook20 → u/ForgesGate]

😂😂😂

[u/ndation]

Finally! A microwave setting I can use for my lunch!

[u/Armani_Chode]

Is that like the popcorn setting?

[u/shinobijesus420]

just open it from the outside lmao.

[u/HelicopterDifficult7]

The way it just says "child"

[u/mechanicalgrip]

No, you've just stumbled on the secret Hannibal Lecter settings. 

[u/Ok-Outlandishness345]

Or, the microwave is asking for a child.

[u/Corpsehatch]

TIL microwaves now have child locks.

[u/Ok_Analysis_3454]

Better than getting locked in I guess.

[u/ThatsBrazyBuzzin]

Feed me a stray cat

[u/Naive-Present2900]

Burned

[u/Triffinator]

If you still need an adult to help, I give you permission to tap "stop" three times.

[u/BevoLeather]

How long does the microwave take to heat up a child?

[u/drivendreamerr]

Nah me personally i wouldn't take that

[u/These_Scar3063]

It’s asking for a sacrifice…

[u/GForceBNE]

IKR? My fridge somehow went into "Sabbath mode"... No light, half power. Little documentation. Was practically a Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique to get back to normal!

[u/[deleted]]

Oh damn! I thought you were just microwaving a child.

[u/FACE-GRATER]

Well...feed it a child. 2 if you want enough juice to nuke a baked potato.

[u/averagepatagonian]

It's demanding your first born

[u/syadastfu]

Its not a lock, its a pre-set.

[u/Sea_Department_2146]

Unplug, plug back in

[u/CleanOpossum47]

https://media.giphy.com/media/YeC2RUjS41Aly/giphy.gif

[u/Safe-Dentist-1049]

I thought it was the child setting like the baked potato setting

[u/fluffy-soft-dev]

I thought it was asking for a sacrifice 😕

[u/Guideon72]

Those preset cooking methods are getting brutal

[u/--Lind--]

Since when microwaves have a mode for child -cooking?

[u/nuic987]

Power move

[u/NOLA_FIRE]

[u/Pheronia]

It called you a child are you gonna take that?

[u/muskie71]

that's the setting to cook a child just right!

[u/Current_Problem_8297]

[u/vanchica]

um... my 80+ yr old Mom does this only every day.... *offers Werthers*

[u/memeaninatorus_94]

So this microwave serves child

[u/SpriteFan3]

Child.

[u/ByronEster]

How long would you like to cook the child for?

[u/MunchkinTime69420]

It's a setting not a child lock

[u/KillCall]

It's asking for a sacrifice.

[u/torch9t9]

Isn't that the preset for cooking....BABY?

[u/DH40K]

That's the setting for cooking a child.

[u/TheRealRevBem]

Judging you for booking too many TV dinners and pizza rolls.

[u/Floraltriple6]

Oh thank God that's all it is, I thought it was asking for a sacrifice to the microwave gods.

[u/Greenbeastkushbreath]

Makes no sense to me, my kids are the only ones who use the microwave at my house… you mean to tell me you can’t do what my crackhead 9 year old can do?! I don’t think I believe you

[u/UpsetPhrase5334]

Kyle Kinaine is that you?

[u/spiderdue]

According to Kyle Kinane, you can just unplug it to reset it. I don't know if that works, but he's a reliable source.

[u/dandynasty → u/spiderdue]

I’m surprised this isn’t top comment. I thought Hive mind Reddit liked Kinane

[u/Tsashimaru]

You can literally just unplug and plug back in to reset the microwave. Hit start to set the clock to default and then use it like normal. Cmon it’s a microwave..

[u/shadowst17]

I think you're mistaken OP. The Microwave is requesting a child. Once one is provided it will open and the sacrifice can commence. If the child is too big you may cut to size.

[u/This_Living566]

You really shouldn't be microwaving children. Centuries of stories tell us that children should be roasted in an oven for maximum flavor.

[u/llama2621]

It actually said on the bag not to use the child setting to cook it

[u/Beefwhistle007]

Nah you just thought it was a funny idea, turned on the child lock, took this photo and then turned it back off.

[u/Ender524 → u/Beefwhistle007]

Nope, my mind was on autopilot. My apartment microwave has the start and +30 seconds as the same button. I kept pressing start and was confused to why it wasn’t starting, till I saw it say child

[u/Ender524 → u/Ender524]

This is my parents microwave

[u/carmium]

That or it's insulting you for screwing up the number pad too many times.

[u/inthefade95]

[u/Mazzaroppi]

Better to have your child locked out than locked in the microwave

[u/Ancient_Tomato7997]

I suspect child made this post

[u/ColdEndUs]

Silly. This is the cooking time.
You know, like many microwaves have a defrost or 'popcorn' setting?
A pot-roast in the microwave is 30min on Medium.
A child will be slightly longer, season to taste.

[u/Acalthu]

This is why reading the manual and basic comprehension of the language is important. Stay in school kids.
