SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
• As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
• Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
• The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven.
• Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations.
• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
• See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave
• Oven Care” section.
• To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
• Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
• Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven.
• If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
• Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

Electrical Requirements

• For all cord connected appliances:
• The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
• The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING:

1. Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded.
2. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

• To avoid damage to the microwave oven caused by arcing due to soil buildup, keep cavity, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame clean.
• Clean with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge or as indicated below.
• Grease filters: mild soap and water or dishwasher
• Door and exterior: mild soap and water, or glass cleaner applied to paper towel
• Control panel: sponge or soft cloth and water

TROUBLESHOOTING

Microwave oven will not operate

1. Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
2. Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
3. Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to the inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door.
4. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.
5. Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is OFF. Make sure Demo mode (on some models) is OFF.

Arcing in the microwave oven

• Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section.

Turntable alternates rotation directions

• This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.

Display shows messages

• A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
• A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.

Fan running during cooktop usage

• This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven.
• It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.

Radio, TV, or cordless phone interference

• Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
• Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
• Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is ON. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
