Before you call a repair person for your oven, check this list of possible
problems and solutions.
Neither the oven’s display nor the oven operate.
•
Properly insert the plug into a grounded outlet.
•
If the outlet is controlled by a wall switch, make sure the wall switch is
turned on.
•
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, then plug it in
again.
•
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
•
Plug another appliance into the outlet; if the other appliance doesn’t
work, have a qualified electrician repair the outlet.
•
Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The oven’s display works, but the power won’t come on.
•
Make sure the door is closed securely.
•
Check to see if packing material or other material is stuck to the door
seal.
•
Check for door damage.
•
Press Cancel twice and re-enter all cooking instructions.
The power goes off before the set time has elapsed.
•
If there has not been a power outage, remove the plug from the outlet,
wait ten seconds, then plug it in again. If there was a power outage,
the time indicator will display “
” Reset the clock and any cooking
instructions.
•
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuse.
The food is cooking too slowly.
•
Make sure the oven is on its own 12A amp circuit line. Operating
another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If
necessary, move the oven to its own circuit.
You see sparks or arcing.
•
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil,
use only narrow strips and allow at least one inch between the foil and
interior oven walls.
The turntable makes noises or sticks.
•
Clean the turntable, roller ring and oven floor.
•
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
Using your microwave causes TV or radio interference.
•
This is similar to the interference caused by other small appliances,
such as hair dryers. Move your microwave further away from other
appliances, like your TV or radio.
CarE aNd CLEaNING
•
Follow these instructions to clean and care for your oven.
•
Keep the inside of the oven clean. Food particles and spilled liquids can
stick to the oven walls, causing the oven to work less efficiently.
•
Wipe up spills immediately. Use a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not
use harsh detergents or abrasives.
•
To help loosen baked on food particles or liquids, heat two cups of
water (add the juice of one lemon if you desire to keep the oven fresh)
in a four-cup measuring glass at
High
power for five minutes or until
boiling. Let stand in the oven for one or two minutes.
•
Remove the glass tray from the oven when cleaning the oven or tray.
To prevent the tray from breaking, handle it carefully and do not put it in
water immediately after cooking. Wash the tray carefully in warm sudsy
water or in the dishwasher.
•
Clean the outside surface of the oven with soap and a damp cloth. Dry
with a soft cloth. To prevent damage to the operating parts of the oven,
don’t let water seep into the openings.
•
Wash the door window with very mild soap and water. Be sure to use a
soft cloth to avoid scratching.
•
If steam accumulates inside or outside the oven door, wipe with a soft
cloth. Steam can accumulate when operating the oven in high humidity
and in no way indicates microwave leakage.
•
Never operate the oven without food in it; this can damage the
magnetron tube or glass tray. You may wish to leave a cup of water
in the oven when it is not in use to prevent damage if the oven is
accidentally turned on.

Cooking eggs in your microwave
•
Never cook eggs in the shell, and never warm hard-cooked eggs in the
shell; they can explode.
•
Always pierce whole eggs to keep them from bursting.
•
Cook eggs just until set; they become tough if overcooked.
Guide for cooking vegetables in your microwave
•
Vegetables should be washed just before cooking. Often, no extra
water is needed. If dense vegetables such as potatoes, carrots and
green beans are being cooked, add about ¼ cup water.
•
Small vegetables (sliced carrots, peas, lima beans, etc.) will cook faster
than larger ones.
•
Whole vegetables, such as potatoes, acorn squash or corn on the cob,
should be arranged in a circle on the turntable before cooking. They will
cook more evenly if turned over after half the cooking time.
•
Always place vegetables like asparagus and broccoli with the stem
ends pointing towards the edge of the dish and the tips toward the
center.
•
When cooking cut vegetables, always cover the dish with a lid or
vented microwavable plastic wrap.
•
Whole, unpeeled vegetables such as potatoes, squash, eggplant,
etc., should have their skin pricked in several spots before cooking to
prevent them from bursting.
•
For more even cooking, stir or rearrange whole vegetables halfway
through the cooking time.
•
Generally, the denser the food, the longer the standing time. (Standing
time refers to the time necessary for dense, large foods and vegetables
to finish cooking after they come out of the oven.) A baked potato can
stand on the counter for five minutes before cooking is completed,
while a dish of peas can be served immediately.
