Turns out all is ok - generator works fine - microwave beeps as it should. I did call Thor just out of curiosity - asked about the flashing hour-glass icon - he said "it just tells you the generator is running and time is flying by."
Funny about the microwave - I remember the very first time I parked at a site with hookups, when I connected the electric and walked into the RV, the microwave came on with a beep. A nice, satisfying sound.
Thanks
Dan
