If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow these four steps:
!• Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result
from little things you can fix yourself
without tools of any kind.
If nothing operates:
• Is the power supply cord plugged
into a live circuit with the proper volt
age? (See "Installation Instructions!’)
• Have you checked the main fuse or
circuit breaker box?
If the microwave oven will not run:
• Is the Timer set?
• If the Temperature Probe is being
used, is it plugged tightly into its
socket?
•
Is the door firmly closed and
latched?
• Did you touch START?
•
Did you follow the directions
exactly?
If microwave cooking times seem
too long:
• Is the electric supply to your home
low or lower than normal? Your elec
tric company can tell you if the line
voltage is too low.
• Is the Cook Power set correctly?
• 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?
• Is the oven door closed com
pletely?
• Is the oven in standing time between
QUICK DEFROST AND COOK CYCLE 1?
(See page 14.)
If you do not hear a programming
tone (Page 8):
• Is the command correct?
• Has the tone been cancelled?
If the microwave oven turns off too
soon or not soon enough when using
the probe;
• Is at least
'/3
of the probe in the food?
• Is the probe tip in the center of the
food?
• Is the probe touching bone or fat?
• Have you allowed roasts to stand for
a tew minutes after cooking to
equalize temperatures?
• Is the probe plugged tightly into its
socket?
• Is the Cook Power set correctly?
•
Is the Probe Temperature set
correctly?
