If you need service or assistance,

we suggest you follow these five 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 power supply cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See Installation Instructions.)

l Have you checked your home’s main fuse 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 If the Temperature Probe is being used, is it plugged tightly into its socket?

l Is the door firmly closed and latched?

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 low or lower than normal? Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low.

l Is the Cook Power at the recom- mended setting?

l Are you allowing for more time when cooking more food at one time?

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

lIs the Minute Timer in use?

l Is the oven door closed completely?

l Is the oven in standing time between QUICK DEFROST and COOK CYCLE 1or AUTO SETTIME? (See page 25.)

If you do not hear a programming tone (page 8):

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 interrup- tion, the Display will show 88:88. Reset the Clock (page 9).

If the microwave oven turns off too soon or not soon enough when

using the Temperature Probe:

lIs at least % of the probe in the food?

l Is the probe tip in the center of the food?

l Is the probe touching bone or fat?

l Have you allowed roasts to stand for a few minutes after cooking?

l Is the probe plugged tightly into its sot ket?

lIs Cook Power set correctly?

l Is the probe temperature set correctly?
