Question Answer
Why is the oven light not on during
cooking?
There may be severai causes. Have you:
• Set a cooking time?
• Pressed the START pad?
Why is the clock display blank or off?Make sure the microwave oven is plugged into a working outlet. Check for a
blown house fuse or tripped circuit breaker.
Why does steam come out of the air
exhaust vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been
designed to vent this steam.
Will the microwave oven be damaged
if it operates empty?
Yes. Never operate the oven empty or without the glass turntable.
Does microwave energy pass through
the viewing screen in the door?
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.
Why does a tone sound when a pad
on the control panel is touched?
The tone tells you that the setting has been entered.
Can the microwave oven be damaged
if food is cooked for too long?
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.
When the oven is plugged into the wall
outlet for the first time, it doesn't work
properly. What is wrong?
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
and then reset the clock.
Why is there light reflection around the
outer case?
This light is from the oven light which is located between the oven cavity and
the outer wall of the oven.
What are the various sounds heard
when the microwave oven is operating? The clicking sound is caused by a mechanical switch turning the microwave
oven’s magnetron ON and OFF.
The heavy hum 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.
Why is there a fan running after the
pizza oven is stopped? The fan will continue operating to cool the internal components of the pizza
oven.
