General information
FUS’E’BOX
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than normal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer.
To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook on HIGH Cook Power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, Centura,” etc.] absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times.

If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these steps:
1.Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.
If nofhing operates:
l Is the oven correctly wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage? See the Installation Instructions.
l Have you checked your home’s main fuses or circuit breaker box?
l Have you checked the electric company for a power failure?
If the microwave oven will not run: l Is the oven being used as a timer?
l If the Temperature Probe is being used, is it plugged tightly into its socket?
l Is the door firmly closed and latched?
. Did you touch START?
l Did you follow the directions exactly?
If the microwave cooking times seem too long:
l Is the electric supply to your home or wall out- let low or lower than normal? Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low
. Is the Cook Power at the recommended setting?
l Are you allowing for more time when cooking more food at one time?
If the Display shows a time counting down but
the oven is not cooking:
l Is the Minute Timer in use?
l Is the oven door closed completely?
l Is the oven in standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK 1 or AUTO START?
If the fan seems to be running slower than usual:
l Has the oven been stored in a cold area? The fan will run slower until the oven warms up to normal room temperature.
If there has been a power interruption, the Display will show 88:88. Reset the clock, (page 61.
If the microwave oven turns off too soon or not soon enough when using the Temperature Probe:
l Is at least % of the probe in the food?
l Is the probe tip in the center of the food? l Is the probe touching bone or fat?
l Have you allowed roasts to stand for a few minutes after cooking?
l Is the probe plugged tightly into its socket? l Is the Cook Power set correctly?
