What DEMO MODE
actually means.

Both the KOTR30XV hood model and the MO30STANE have a demonstration setting that runs the controls without microwave power. It exists for stores, and at home it looks like a microwave that has stopped heating.

What to do when DEMO MODE shows on the microwave

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for DEMO MODE on its microwaves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

On the KOTR30XV, press Power Level once, Start four times and Stop/Reset four times.

02

On the MO30STANE, touch TIMER/CLOCK, 0 and STOP/CLEAR, or unplug the unit and plug it back in.

03

Heat a cup of water for one minute to confirm it warms.

04

If the water stays cold with demo off, book a visit.

Cleared?

The code has gone and a mug of water heats again without a new part. If it comes back this week, or the food starts coming out cold in the middle, mention in the booking that it came back.

What not to do

Demo mode does not damage anything and is not a heating failure. If the display shows no demo wording and the microwave still does not heat, the problem is real and lies in the high-voltage section, which only a technician opens.

What you may
notice with it.

The microwave problems DEMO MODE tends to arrive with. Answer these at the microwave before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something was switched on rather than something wearing out: a child or control lock set by a long press on the wrong pad, after which no key answers, a demo or showroom setting that lights the display and turns the plate while nothing warms, a Sabbath setting that dims the panel and mutes the beeps, or a clock left blinking after an outage that holds the keypad until it is set. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual switches it off again.

In Bertazzoni's own words

Questions
about DEMO MODE.

Can I clear DEMO MODE myself?
On the KOTR30XV, press Power Level once, Start four times and Stop/Reset four times.
Why does my Bertazzoni microwave run but not heat?
Look for DEMO MODE or DEMO ON in the display first. In that setting the fan, light and timer run while the magnetron stays off.
Is unplugging enough to clear demo on a Bertazzoni built-in microwave?
On the MO30STANE the manual allows unplugging and replugging as a shortcut. On the hood model use the key sequence, since the plug sits in the cabinet above.
Could a new Bertazzoni microwave arrive in demo mode?
It can happen with display or showroom stock. If a new unit never heats and shows demo wording, clear the setting before booking a visit.

Back to your everyday

Still showing DEMO MODE?

Three details make the booking useful: the characters or beeps just as they appeared, every character of the model number, and whether a cup of water still warms up. With those, the technician arrives already halfway to the answer.
