QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does
not work properly. What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from
the wall outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then
reset for proper functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A. This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are
dirty. Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than maximum (PL 10), the oven
cycles to obtain the lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard
when the oven cycles on and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been
made to vent this steam.
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. The
light bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane.
Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never
microwave eggs in the shell since they may explode.
Q. How are boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door
or touch STOP/RESET, the food will stop boiling.
CLEANING
Wipe the oven inside and outside
with a soft cloth and a mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done on a weekly
basis, more often if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left
for many days. Wipe splatters with
a wet paper towel, especially after
cooking chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed
as described. They should be
washed in warm (not hot) water with
a mild detergent and a soft cloth.
Once they are clean, rinse them well
and dry with a soft cloth. Never use
cleaning powders, steel wool or
rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at
the sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this may
cause the turntable to break
during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be
cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe them often
with a mild detergent. Then rinse
and wipe dry. Never use cleaning
powders or rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel,
press STOP/RESET to clear any
entries that might have been entered
accidentally while cleaning the panel.
