Page 20

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these four 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 nothing operates:

l Is the oven correctly plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See page 17.)

l Have you checked the main fuse or circuit breaker box?

If the microwave oven will not run:

lIs the timer set?

l Is the door firmly closed and latched? l 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 low or lower than normal? Your electric company can tell

you if the line voltage is low.

lIs the Cook Power set correctly?

l Are you allowing for more time when cooking more food at one time?

If the display shows the time counting down but the oven is not cooking:

l Is the oven door closed completely?

l Is the oven in a standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK. (See page 9.)

l Have you set the controls as a kitchen timer?

If you do not hear

the Programming

Tone

(page

13):

 

 

l

Is the

command

correct?

 

l

Has the tone been cancelled?

 

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 Dis- play will show 88:88. Reset the clock [page 6).
