QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

OPERATION

Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is open?

A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. Perhaps:

•TIME has not been set.

•The light bulb has burned out.

•START has not been touched.

Q, Why does steam come out of the grill work?

A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the grill work.

Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?

A. Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray.

Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?

A. No. The metal screen bounces the energy back into the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) are made to

allow light to pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.

Q. Why does the "beep tone" sound when a "pad" on the control panel is touched?

A. The "beep tone" sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.

Q. Why does the display flash "0:00"?

A. This indicates that there has been a temporary loss of electrical power to the oven, and the TIME OF DAY must be reset.

Prolonged loss of power can also result in loss of programmable recipes. Be sure they are recorded.

Q.Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long a period of time?

A.Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point of destruction which may result in the food creating smoke and even possible fire damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to attend the oven while it is in the cooking process.

Q.Why does the exhaust fan start when the FAN key is not touched ?

A. High temperature air from the heating surface below can cause an overheating condition of the Oven,

and may damage it. The exhaust fan will start automatically to cool off the oven and prevent damage to it.
