General Information

If your electric power line voltage is less than the 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 beslde lt. - Cook on high Cook Power for one minute. If the dlsh gets hot and water stays cool, do not use lt.

If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five 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 25.)

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? l Did you touch START?

l Did you follow the directions exactly?

If mlcrowave cooklng ttmes 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.

l Is the Cook Power at the recommended setting?

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

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

l Is the oven door closed completely?

l Have you set the controls as a kitchen timen

l Is the oven in standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK l? (See page 12.)

If you do not hear the Programming Tone: l Is the command correct?

l Has the tone been cancelled? (See page 6.)

If the fan seems to be runnlng 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.
