PROBLEM

Microwave cooking times seem too long

The Display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking

You do not hear the Program- ming Tone

POSSIBLE CAUSE

The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal.

The cook power is not at the recommended setting.

Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.

The oven door is not closed completely.

You have set the controls as a minute timer.

The command is not correct.

SOLUTION

Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low. See page 8.

Check “Microwave cooking chart” on page 53.

Allow for more time when cooking more food at one time.

Completely close oven door.

Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel the Minute Timer.

Re-enter command.

The fan seems to be running slower than usual

Foods under- cook during convection and combination cooking

The oven has been stored in a cold area.

You have not followed the recipe closely enough.

Foods are not prepared and ready to place in the oven. This increases heat loss from the door being open.

The fan will run slower until the oven warms up to normal room temperature

Follow reliable recipes exactly for ingredients, utensils, cooking time, and proper rack position.

Make sure foods are properly pre- pared and ready to place in oven.
