You can set the clock on a Samsung microwave by pressing the Select/Clock button.

Completing the clock setup

Easy enough, though. After you set the hours, push the Select/Clock button again and the minutes digits begins to flash. Scroll up or down using the arrow keys until you get to the right number. Be careful because it’s easy to overshoot the mark.

Pressing the clock button once

It’s the exact minute of your choosing. You don’t have to guess. It’s obvious what the inputs are.

It’s also intuitive and straightforward. No crazy codes to remember, no hidden menus. Buttons is clearly labeled. Clock function isn’t buried in settings, you’ll find that one quickly enough. It’s laid out logicaly. That’s a big help when doing this job.

Pressing clock button again to save

That’s it. Your new time is saved. Pressing that Select/Clock button one more time cause the clock to stop flashing. It’s frozen on the correct minute and hour.

You only need three primary button presses and a couple of arrow tweaks, which isn’t as bad then you might think. Done. Microwave is operational.

It’s all intuitive and under a minute from start to finish. No internet searching required for how-to directions. It’s all on the panel and it’s labeled. There are buttons with distinct function. The clock/Select button works. The up/down arrows adjust as needed.

Simple stuff, but it doesn’t hurt that it just works. No bells and whistles, but solid performance.

But then you’re done. You take a step back. Yep, there’s the microwave. Nothing is out of place. There are no warning lights or error codes. It show the current time.
