Questions and answers

A: When the oven does not turn on, check the
following:
1. Is the oven plugged in securely? Remove
the plug from the outlet, wait 10 seconds
and reinsert.
2. Check the circuit breaker and the fuse.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the
fuse if it is tripped or blown.
3. If the circuit breaker or fuse is all right, plug
another appliance into the outlet. If the
other appliance works, there probably is a
problem with the oven. If the other appli-
ance does not work, there probably is a
problem with the outlet.
If it seems that there is a problem with the
oven, contact an authorized Service
Center.
A: 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, blow dryers, etc. It does not indicate
a problem with your oven.
A: The oven is designed not to accept an
incorrect program. For example, the oven will
only accept one stage cooking (excluding
Delay Start), and will not accept an Auto
Weight Program after Delay Start.
A: The heat given off from the cooking food
warms the air in the oven cavity. This warmed
air is carried out of the oven by the air flow
pattern in the oven. There are no microwaves
in the air. The oven vents should never be
blocked during cooking.
A: Only when you are using GRILL cooking mode
(NN-J169M / NN-J159W). The metal in some
thermometers may cause arcing in your oven
and should not be used on MICROWAVE and
COMBINATION cooking modes.
A: The noises occur as the oven automatically
switches from MICROWAVE power to GRILL
to create the combination setting. This is
normal.
A: After repeated use, it is recommended to
clean the oven and then run the oven without
food, glass tray, and roller ring on Grill for 5
minutes. This will burn off any food, residue or
oil which may cause an odour and/or smoking.
