Hi -

You just need to set the clock and you should be able to use the microwave again.

1. Press STOP/CLEAR. The 88:88 should stop flashing and be replaced by a flashing :
2. Press TIMER/CLOCK
3. Enter the time in 12 hour format using the number keys, e.g 8 3 2 for 8:32pm (or am)
4. Press TIMER/CLOCK again

I can't honestly remember whether you need to press TIMER/CLOCK before setting the time, so if it doesn't work after you've done the above, switch the power off and back on, and do it again without pressing TIMER/CLOCK before entering the time.

1. Press STOP/CLEAR. The 88:88 should stop flashing and be replaced by a flashing :
2. Enter the time in 12 hour format using the number keys, e.g 8 3 2 for 8:32pm (or am)
3. Press TIMER/CLOCK

This should be all you need to do to use the microwave again. If the 88:88 doesn't stop flashing when you press STOP/CLEAR you may have a defective control pad or PCB.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance you can reply to me by clicking on "Add a Comment" below your question.
