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?

I’m far too invested now.

PickAChew · 18/07/2024 18:04

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

dotcombubble · 18/07/2024 18:16

Found this with the same image perhaps you can work it out from that

It looks like the cooking power is only 10%, so to cook a specific item. Do you need to adjust it to 100?

itchybitsytinywhiney · 18/07/2024 18:29

It is on 100%. Just the led lights are broken behind some of the numbers. I'll try turning it off!

I’ve not enjoyed an appliance thread as much since the Jewish fridge saga!

Popcorn power setting?

Getonwitit · 18/07/2024 18:44

Haven't a clue but i really need to know now.

Scarftown · 18/07/2024 18:53

It's the popcorn setting.

AnImaginaryCat · 18/07/2024 18:53

Could be feet and calfs (and ankle socks). Admittedly i can't tell you what that means 🤔

RichardMarxisinnocent · 18/07/2024 18:56

This is from the manual for the Nostalgia microwave a PP posted. I think the top pic of popcorn, so A1, the next potato, which makes the mysterious icon vegetable.

It's the microwave wheel of death 🫣🤣

Whatineed · 18/07/2024 19:16

Surely some extremely wobbly pencil drawn vegetables op?

Oblomov24 · 18/07/2024 19:17

Popcorn. Who knew?!

thestudio · 18/07/2024 19:19

Crossreferencing @dotcombubble's photo with @RichardMarxisinnocent 's table, on which the next ones are 'meat' 'fish, 'chicken', your symbol is 'vegetable'.

That was immensely satisfying.

thestudio · 18/07/2024 19:20

And given where the microwave was likely produced, everyone who said pak choi was right!

This doesn't explain why it suddenly appeared and won't go away though.
OP, have you tried pressing lots of buttons to see if it disappears? Turning it off at the wall?

NeverDropYourMooncup · 18/07/2024 19:21

Somebody's turned the dial to the vegetable setting.

I think the only time ours has ever had any setting or button pushed beyond start, time and cancel is when DP took the notion that frozen prawns needed to be defrosted instead of dumped in a sealed bag in some water for twenty minutes.

True. Need to download the manual from manualslib site and read how to reset the dial.

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

It’s not wrong

GinandGingerBeer · 18/07/2024 19:49

Lisa Simpsons legs.

FastFood · 18/07/2024 19:53

I see pak choi as well, is it a brand from Asia?

BruceAndNosh · 18/07/2024 20:11

Vegetable is a very broad setting.
Carrots take much longer than pak choi

itchybitsytinywhiney · 18/07/2024 20:22

It could be a vegetable setting I guess, but I've never seen any other icons on there before? No popcorn or fish or meat icon in 5 years? And the kids piss about heating pop tarts in there all the time coz they can't be arsed to use the toaster!
