There may be several reasons why the oven light is not on.
Have you:
• Set a cooking time?
• Touched START?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven
has been designed to vent this steam.
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
No. The metal screen bounces the energy back to the oven cavity.
The holes (or ports) allow only light to pass through. They do not
let microwave energy pass through.
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Like any other cooking appliance, it is possible to overcook food
to the point that the food creates smoke, and even possibly fire
and damage to the inside of the oven. It is always best to be near
the oven while you are cooking.
The microcomputer controlling your oven may temporarily
become scrambled and fail to function as programmed when you
plug it in for the first time or when power resumes after a power
interruption. Unplug the oven from the 120~ volt household outlet
and then plug it back in to reset the microcomputer.
This light is from the oven light which is located between the
oven cavity and the outer wall of the oven.
The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the
microwave oven’s magnetron ON and OFF. The heavy hum and
clunk is from the change in power the magnetron draws as it is
turned ON and OFF by a mechanical switch.The change in blower
speed is from the change in line voltage caused by the magnetron
being turned ON and OFF.
The fan blowing cools the toaster heater for about 1 minute after
toasting. This is normal.
If you operate toaster several times using one slot continuously, the
toaster’s internal temperature will be hot and may cause "Hot" to
appear in the display. This will go away after several minutes after
the toaster cools down.
CAUTION: Do not operate toaster without bread.
That means failure mode. Contact the nearest Authorized Service
Center.
