OPERATION
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow during cooking or when the oven door is open?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. Perhaps:
• TIME has not been set.
• The light bulb has burned out.
• START has not been touched.______________________________________________________________
Q. Why does steam come out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been designed to vent this steam out the rear
vent.

Q. Will the microwave oven be damaged if it operates empty?
A. Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass tray.
Q. Does microwave energy pass through the viewing screen in the door?
A. No. The metal screen bounces back the energy to the oven cavity. The holes (or ports) are made to allow light to
pass through. They do not let microwave energy pass through.
Q. Why does the “beep tone” sound when a “pad” on the control panel is touched?
A. The “beep tone” sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.
Q. Why does the display show “0:00?”
A. This indicates that there has been a temporary loss of electrical power to the oven, and the TIME OF DAY must be
reset.__________________________________________________________________________________________
Q. Can my microwave oven be damaged if food is cooked for too long a period of time?
A. Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food to the point of destruction which may result in the
food creating smoke and even possible fire damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to attend the oven while
it is in the cooking process. See “Important Safety Instructions” on Page 3.
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it might not work properly. What is wrong?
A. Only when the oven is plugged in for the first time or when power resumes after a power interruption, the
microcomputer used in the oven control assembly may temporarily become scrambled and fail to function as
programmed. Unplug the oven from the 120 volt household outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will
be reset for proper function thereafter.
