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?
