PROBLEM SOLVING
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, always
unplug the microwave before performing maintenance
or trouble shooting checks.
Potential reason
1. Microwave is not
plugged in
fuse
4. Microwave has
developed a fault
Make sure the plug is plugged in securely into the mains
and the plug is switched on. If it is not, remove the plug
from the socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again
securely.
The plug socket that the microwave is plugged into may
have become faulty. Plug the microwave into another
known good plug socket, ensure that the socket is turned
on and check if the microwave now works.
Check the plug for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main
circuit breaker. If these seem to be working properly, test
the socket with another appliance.
Contact customer services to talk through the problem to
see if any solution for the fault can be found. If not and the
product is within its warranty period, then the microwave
should be returned to the retailer it was purchased from for
a replacement or refund.
Make sure the door is securely closed. Otherwise, the
microwave will not engage or operate.
Set the microwave power by pressing the 'Power' button.
Select the time by turning the dial and pressing 'Start' to
confirm.
The component that produces the microwaves is called a
magnetron, if food is not being heated or is 'luke' warm
then it is likely this component has developed a fault. If the
microwave is within its warranty period, please contact
customer services for further advice or take the microwave
back to the retailer it was purchased from for a refund or
replacement.
