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 page 21.)
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 Timer set?
l
Is the door firmly closed and latched?
l
Did you touch START?
l
Did you follow the directions exactly?
It 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 at the recommended
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:
. Is the Minute Timer in use?
l
Is the oven door closed completely?
l
Is the oven in standing time between QUICK
DEFROST and COOK? (See page 13.)
and talk with one of our trained Consultants. The
Consultants can instruct you in how to obtain
satisfactory operation from your appliance or, if
