QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. When the microwave oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What is wrong?

A. The microcomputer used in the microwave oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in again. The microcomputer should then automatically reset for proper functioning.

Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the microwave oven is turned on?

A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty. Clean the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.

Q. Why is there noise coming from the microwave oven when reducing power?

A. When cooking with a power other than P100, the oven cycles on and off to obtain the lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when

the oven cycles on and off. This is normal.

 

Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?

 

A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been

 

made to vent this steam out of the air exhaust vent.

 

Q. What is wrong when the microwave oven interior light will not glow?

 

A. There may be several reasons why the interior light will not glow. The

 

light bulb may have burned out or START may not have been pressed.

 

Replace the light bulb or press START. Never replace the light bulb by

 

yourself. Contact an Authorized Service Center.

 

Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?

 

A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane.

 

Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never

 

microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.

 

Q. How are boil-overs avoided?

 

A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking or use a lower power level.

 

If you open the microwave oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR, the food

 

will stop boiling.

 

Q. Why does the beep tone sound when a pad on the control panel is

 

pressed?

 

A. The beep tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly

 

entered. However, you can turn off the beep tone. See optional settings
