ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL WITH YOUR
TRIVECTION
™ OVEN
• Steam or vapor escaping from around the door.
• Dimming of the oven light and change in the
blower sound may occur.
• The microwave fan may operate with both ovens
off. It is cooling the control and will turn itself off.
• Some TV-radio interference might be noticed
while using your oven. It is similar to the
interference caused by other small appliances
and does not indicate a problem with your oven.
ARCING
If you see arcing, open the door and correct
the problem.
Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the
oven. Arcing is caused by:
•
Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
• Foil not molded to food (upturned edges act
like antennas).
• Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-
rimmed dishes in the oven.
• Recycled paper towels containing small metal
pieces being used in the oven.
SUPER HEATED WATER AND SPONTANEOUS BOILING
Liquids such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or
boiling when the container is removed from the
microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT
LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of
the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will
damage the inside of the oven when the
self-clean cycle is used.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid, racks and other cookware.
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
• Listen for fan— A fan noise should be heard
sometime during the cleaning cycle. If not, call
a serviceman before self-cleaning again.
