Most cooking problems often are caused by little things you can find and fix without tools of
any kind. Check the lists below and on the next page before calling for assistance or service.
If you still need help, see the "Requesting Assistance or Service" section.
If nothing operates, check the following:
• Is the microwave oven wired into a live circuit with the proper voltage? (See the Installation
Instructions.)
• Have you blown a household fuse or tripped a circuit breaker?
• Has the electric company experienced a power failure?
CAUSE
• The door is not firmly closed and latched.
• You did not touch EASY MINUTE START.
• You did not follow directions exactly.
• An operation that was programmed earlier is still running.
• You have not entered numbers after touching MICRO COOK.
• The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or
lower than normal. Your electric company can tell you if the
line voltage is low. Your electrician or service technician can
tell you if the outlet voltage is too low.
• The cook power is not at the recommended setting.
• Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.

that the turntable support is properly in place and restart oven.

on page
