Before Requesting Service

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL:
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, hair dryer, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and
warm air are 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.
Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do
not recommend this to be done.
These noises occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power to
Convection/Grill, to create the Combination setting. This is normal.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking. Any fat
and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not
cleaned.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
The oven is not plugged in securely.
Circuit breaker or fuse is tripped or blown.
There is a problem with the outlet.
The door is not closed completely.

entered into the oven.

correctly.

accidentally.

REMEDY
Remove plug from outlet, wait
10 seconds and re-insert.
Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse.
Plug another appliance into the outlet to
check if the outlet is working.

previous program and program again.

Operating Instructions.

Clean these parts according to Care of
Your Oven (see page 9).
