I have tried Google and nothing comes up! Why is there an icon that looks like 2 little legs with shoes on the ends of them on my microwave screen??? Any ideas?

Have you googled for the manual?

MrsSkylerWhite · 18/07/2024 13:37

Looks like a couple of pak-choi but that would be very weirdly specific 😁

Koi fish setting?

Interested in this thread?

It looks a bit like two chicken drumsticks. 🍗 A setting specifically for poultry/meat is my guess.

I also see Pak Choi.

Your microwave is telling you that you need more cruciferous vegetables in your diet. 🥬🥬🥬

AutumnFroglets · 18/07/2024 13:40

It's saying you need to let the magic cooking elf out. He's getting a bit hot.

Blinkingmarvellous · 18/07/2024 13:40

I think it's broccoli 🥦

purplecorkheart · 18/07/2024 13:41

The microwave wants you to take it out dancing!

Balloonhearts · 18/07/2024 13:41

Is it steam.like for steaming veg

hexsnidgett · 18/07/2024 13:43

I also think steam...

MonsteraMama · 18/07/2024 13:44

Looks like Pak choi to me too. What brand of microwave is it? You might be able to Google the user manual.

Morphy Richards. Nothing about the pak Choi/steam/dancing elf online. And nothing I press gets rid of the icon either!

It's never ever shown up before. It's 5 years old and just appeared on the screen and won't go?!

What model is it? There are loads of instructions manuals available so you should be able to find the right one.

CeffylCoch · 18/07/2024 17:11

I don't know! I just spent 20 minutes searching - very annoying. Could it be some sort of error code if it's just appeared?

Toddlerteaplease · 18/07/2024 17:13

Oo I've got that microwave. Never seen that before!

Yeah I thought it was the pak-choi setting!

BruceAndNosh · 18/07/2024 17:14

I disagree.
It's bok choi

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 18/07/2024 17:15

Oven gloves

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 18/07/2024 17:16

I think it's pak choi too. Is it a 'vegetable' setting?

Mine has various programmes preset for defrosting meat or heating soup or whatever. I never use them (does anyone?)

Judellie · 18/07/2024 17:29

If it's just appeared it could be a warning thing, telling you it's on the blink. Or that it hates broccoli.........

BruceAndNosh · 18/07/2024 17:46

Have you tried cooking some pak choi to Make it go away?

I've looked through loads of manuals and nothing 😫
Maybe it really wants me to steam for veg? I'm doing rice in it tonight so maybe that will fix it??
