If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these five 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 nothlng operates:
l Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with the proper
voltage? (See Installation
Instructions.)
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 oven being used as a timer?
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 recom-
mended 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:
l 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 CYCLE 1 (See page 23.)
If you do not hear a programmlng
tone (page 8):
l Is the command correct?
l Has the tone been cancelled?
If the fan seems to be running
slower than usual:
l Has the oven been stored in a cold
area? The fan will run slower until
the oven warms up to normal room
temperature.
If there has been a power interrup-
tlon, the Display will show 88:88.
Reset the Clock (page 9).
If the mlcrowave oven turns off too
soon or not soon enough when
using the Temperature Probe:
l Is at least YJ of the probe in the
food?
l Is the probe tip in the center of the
food?
l Is the probe touching bone or fat?
l Have you allowed roasts to stand
for a few minutes after cooking?
l Is the probe plugged tightly into its
socket?
l Is Cook Power set correctly?
l Is the probe temperature set
correctly?
