If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these four 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 26.)

l Have you checked the main fuse or circuit breaker box?

If the microwave oven will not run:

lIs the Timer set?

l

If the

Temperature

 

Probe

is

being

used,

is it

 

plugged

tightly

into

its socket?

 

 

 

 

l

Is the

Control

Panel

Switch

ON?

(See

page

7.)

l

Is the

door firmly

 

closed and

latched?

 

 

. Did you touch START?

 

 

 

 

 

 

l Did you follow the directions exactly?

 

 

If microwave

cooking times 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

set

correctly?

 

 

 

 

l

more food at one time?

counting down but

the oven is not cooking:

 

 

 

 

l

a programming

tone

(page

l

Is the

command

correct?

 

 

 

 

l Has the tone been cancelled?

 

 

If the fan seems to be running 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.

 

 

 

 

 

If

there

 

has

 

been

a power

interruption,

the

Display

 

will

 

show

88:88.

Reset

the

clock
