BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

If you think the oven is not working properly there are some simple checks you can carry out yourself before calling for service:

1.Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.

2.Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.

3.Check to ensure that the door is securely closed engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise, the microwave energy will not flow into the oven.

Follow this simple check below:

Place a cup of water on the turntable and close the door. Select Power Level key for 100% and set cooking time for 1 minute.

1.Does the oven lamp come on when it is cooking?

2.Does the turntable rotate?

3.Does the cooling fan work? (Check by placing your hand above the air vent openings).

4.After 1 minute does the audible signal sound?

5.Is the water in the cup hot?

If there is no fault with either, check against the chart below.
