Troubleshooting

Questions and Answers:

Q.

Accidentally running of microwave oven without any food in it. 
Is it damaged?

A.

We do not recommend operating the microwave oven 
without any food, however, running the oven empty for a short time 
will not damage the oven.

Q.

What if oven does not turn on?

A.

Check the following: 

1) Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove plug from the outlet, wait 10

seconds and reinsert.

2) Check circuit breaker or fuse. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if it is

tripped or blown.

Q.

Can the oven be used with the glass tray removed?

A.

No. The glass tray must be positioned correctly in the 
oven before cooking.

Q.

Why does warm air come from the oven vents and steam accumulates on
the oven door? 

A.

This is due to heat being given off from food cooking in the oven cavity. 
The warm air is carried out of the oven by the airflow pattern in the oven.
There are no microwaves in the air. The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking. During the cooking time, steam is given off from
the food. Most of the steam is removed from the oven by the air; 
which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on
cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.

Q.

My microwave causes interference on my TV. Is this Normal?

A.

Some Radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by
small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, blow dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven.

Q.

Can TV dinner trays be placed in the oven?

A.

Only TV dinners labeled microwave safe are recommended for this oven.
Make sure foil covers are removed from top of container.
