. . . a noise can be heard after a cooking programme.

This is not a fault.

It will switch off automatically.

. . . the display does not light up.

Check whether,

^the time of day display has been programmed to switch off at night.

. . . the turntable does not turn smoothly.

^Check whether the area underneath the roller ring is clean.

^Check whether the surfaces between the turntable and the carrier are clean.

Remove any soiling.

. . . food is not adequately defrosted, heated or cooked at the end of the selected cooking duration.

^Check whether the correct power level was selected for the duration set.

The lower the power level, the longer the duration required.

^Check whether the programme has been interrupted and not restarted.
