sure the wall switch is turned on.
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and
plug it in again.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.

appliance doesn’t work, call a qualified electrician to
repair the wall outlet.

Check if any packaging material or anything else is stuck
in the door seal.
Check if the door is damaged.
Touch Cancel twice and enter all the cooking instructions
again.
Is the power going
off before the set
time has elapsed?
