If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these four 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 page261
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l

a power failure?
If the muxowave oven will not run:

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

the oven is not cooking:

l
Is the oven door closed completely?
l
Is the oven in standing time between QUICK
DEFROST and COOK I? (See page 12.)

(page 6):
. Is the command correct?

If the fan seems to be running slower than
usual:

fan will run slower until the oven warms up to
normal room temperature.
If there has been a power interruption, the
Displuy will show 88:88. Reset the clock
Wxfe 6 I.

soon enough when using the probe:
