Cause
•
The door is not firmly closed and latched.
•
You did not touch START/ENTER.
•
You did not follow directions exactly.
•
An operation that was programmed earlier is still running.
•
You have not entered numbers after touching COOK TIME.
•
The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is 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.
•
The cook power is not at the recommended setting.
•
Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
•
The turntable is not correctly in place. Make sure the turntable
is correct-side up and is sitting securely on center shaft.
•
The support is not operating correctly. Remove turntable,
check that the turntable support is properly in place, and
restart oven. If turntable support does not move, call a
designated service technician for repair. Cooking without the
turntable can give you poor results.
•
The oven door is not closed completely.
•
You have set the controls as a kitchen timer. Touch
OFF/CANCEL to cancel the Minute Timer.
•
The command is not correct.
•
The oven has been stored in a cold area. The fan will run
slower until the oven warms up to normal room temperature.
•
There has been a power interruption. Reset the clock.
