gets hot and water stays
cool, do not use it.
If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow. these four steps:
1.
Before caWng 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 oven correctly plugged into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See page 21.)
l
Have you checked your home’s main fuses 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
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 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 set correctly?
l
Are you allowing more time when cooking
more than one food item?

but the oven is not cooking:
