connection" section on Page 9.)
• A household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped.
• The electric company has had a power failure.

Kitchen Timer.

Cause
•
The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal.
Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician
or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.
• The cook power is not at the recommended setting. Check the chart on
Page 18.
• You have not allowed enough cooking time for the amount of food being
cooked. Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
• The oven door is not closed completely.
• You have set the controls as a kitchen timer. Touch OFF/CANCEL to cancel
the Kitchen Timer.
