Questions and Answers
Q:
Why wonʼt my oven turn
on?
A:
When the oven does not turn on, check the following:
1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove the plug from
the outlet, wait 10 seconds and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse. Reset the circuit
breaker or replace the fuse if it is tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug another appli-
ance into the outlet. If the other appliance works, there
probably is a problem with the oven. If the other appliance
does not work, there probably is a problem with the outlet.
If it seems that there is a problem with the oven, contact
an authorized Service Center.
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.
A:
When cooking with a power other than 800W (MAX Power),
the oven must cycle to obtain the lower power levels. The
oven light dims and clicking noises can be heard when the
oven cycles.
A:
The heat given off from the cooking food warms the air in the
oven cavity. This warmed air is carried out of the oven by the
air flow pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves in the
air. The oven vents should never be blocked during cooking.
A:
Only when you are using GRILL cooking mode. The metal in
some thermometers may cause arcing in your oven and
should not be used on MICROWAVE and COMBINATION
cooking modes.
A:
The noises occur as the oven automatically switches from
MICROWAVE power to GRILL to create the combination
setting. This is normal.
