QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not
work properly. What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the
wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for
proper functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are
dirty. Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of
these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than maximum (100%), the oven cycles
to obtain the lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the
oven cycles on and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made
to vent this steam.
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The light
bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane.
Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never
microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.
Q. How are boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or
touch
STOP/CANCEL
, the food will stop boiling.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside with a
soft cloth and a mild detergent solution.
Then rinse and wipe dry. This should be
done on a weekly basis, more often if
needed. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads. Excessive oil splatters on the
inside top will be difficult to remove if left
for many days. Wipe splatters with a wet
paper towel, especially after cooking
chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed as
described. They should be washed in
warm (not hot) water with a mild detergent
and a soft cloth. Once they are clean, rinse
them well and dry with a soft cloth. Never
use cleaning powders, steel wool or rough
pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned in the
sink. Be careful not to chip or scratch
the edges as this may cause the
turntable to break during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be
cleaned regularly.
• The Grill Rack may also be cleaned in
the sink. Dry thoroughly after washing
with mild detergent.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the inner
door panel and the oven front frame should
be free of food or grease buildup. Wipe
them often with a mild detergent. Then
rinse and wipe dry. Never use cleaning
powders or rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, press
STOP/CANCEL to clear any entries that
might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel.
