General Information
If your electric power line voltage is less than the normal 120 volts, cooking times may be longer.
To test a dish for safe use, put it
into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook on high Cook Power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it.
If time is left on the timer when you remove food from the oven, turn the timer to “OFF” before closing the door. This prevents the oven from operating without food in it.
If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these 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:
lIs the oven correctly plugged into a live circuit
| with the proper voltage? (See page 6.) | |||||
l | Have | you | checked | your | home’s | main fuses or |
| circuit | breaker box? |
|
| ||
l | Have | you | checked | the | electric | company for a |
| power | failure? |
|
|
| |
If the microwave oven will not run:
lIs the timer set?
lIs the door firmly closed and latched? l Did you follow the directions exactly?
If microwave cooking times seem too long:
lIs the electric supply to your home or wall outlet low or lower than normal? 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.
lIs the Cook Power set correctly?
l Are you allowing more time when cooking more than one food item?
If the fan seems to be running slower than usual:
lHas the oven been stored in a cold area? The fan will run slower until the oven warms up to normal room temperature.
