General Information
If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 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 you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow. these four steps:
1. Before caWng 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 21.)
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: l Is the oven being used as a timer?
l Is the door firmly closed and latched?
l Is the oven in standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK l? (See page 11.)
if you do not hear the Programming Tone: l Is the command correct?
l Has the tone been cancelled? (See page 6.) 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 wlli show 88:88. Reset the clock (page 61.
l Did you touch START?
l Did you follow the directions exactly?
if the microwave cooking times seem too long:
l Is the electric supply to your home or wall out- lets 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.
l Is the Cook Power set correctly?
l Are you allowing more time when cooking more than one food item?
if the dlspiay shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking:
