BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Before asking for service, please check each item below:
Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in
again securely.
Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating properly, test the outlet with
another appliance.
Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is not properly closed, the
microwave energy will not flow inside.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR
REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
COOKING TECHNIQUES
1.
Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2.
Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked
can smoke or ignite.
3.
Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4.
Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed up cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items
like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5.
Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the
outside.
COOKING UTENSILS GUIDE
1.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal. Only use utensils that are suitable for use in microwave ovens. Metallic containers for
food and beverages are not allowed during microwave cooking.
2.
Microwaves cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not be used.
3.
Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small metal fragments which may cause
sparks and/or fires.
4.
Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners tends to overcook.
5.
Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Only use small amounts and keep a
distance of 1 inch (2.54 cm) between foil and cavity.
6.
The food needs to be placed in a container and then heated on the ceramic plate.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils.
