Q: When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not work properly. What's wrong?

A:The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper functioning.

Q:Why is there noise coming from the oven when using a lower power level?

A:When cooking with power other than 100%, the oven automatically switches on and off to obtain the correct power output. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven switches on and off. This is normal

Q:Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?

A:Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to vent this steam.
