QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Operation

Question

Why is the oven light not on during

cooking?

Why does steam come out of the air

exhaust vent?

Will the microwave oven be damaged if it

operates empty?

Does microwave energy pass through the

viewing screen in the door?

Why does a tone sound when a pad on

the control panel is touched?

Can my microwave oven be damaged if

food is cooked for too long?

When the oven is plugged into the wall

outlet for the first time, and it does not

work properly. What is wrong?

Why do I see light reflection around the

outer case?

What are the various sounds I hear when

the microwave oven is operating?

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 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.
