TROUBLESHOOTING

Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of any kind. Check the lists below before calling for assistance or service. If you still need help, see the “Requesting Assistance or Service” section.

IF MICROWAVE DOES NOT OPERATE, FIRST CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

•Is the microwave plugged into a live outlet with the proper voltage? (See installation instructions.)

•Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?

•Has the electric company experienced a power failure?
