PROBLEM CAUSE
Food is not cooked
enough. • 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 low.
• The cook power is not at the recommended setting. Check the chart on
page 24.
• You have not allowed enough cooking time for the amount of food being
cooked. Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
The display shows a time
counting down but the
oven is not cooking. • The oven door is not closed completely.
• You have set the controls as a minute timer. Touch TIMER OFF to cancel
the Minute Timer.
