QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q. When the oven is plugged into a wall outlet for the first time, it does not
work properly. What is wrong?
A. The microcomputer used in the oven control may temporarily become
scrambled and fail to function as programmed. Unplug the oven from the wall
outlet and then plug it back in. The microcomputer will then reset for proper
functioning.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the turntable when the oven is turned on?
A.This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest and cavity bottom are dirty.
Clean the turntable roller rest cavity bottom. Frequent cleaning of these parts
should eliminate or reduce the noise.
Q. Why is there noise coming from the oven when reducing power?
A. When cooking with a power other than HI, the oven cycles to obtain the
lower power level. The clicking noise can be heard when the oven cycles on
and off. This is normal.
Q. Why is there steam coming out of the air exhaust vent?
A. Steam is produced during cooking. The microwave oven has been made to
vent this steam.
Q. What is wrong when the oven light will not glow?
A. There may be several reasons why the oven light will not grow. The light
bulb has burned out or START has not been pressed.
Q. Why do eggs sometimes pop?
A. The egg yolk may pop because of steam build-up inside the membrane.
Pierce the membrane with a toothpick before cooking it. Never microwave
eggs in the shell since they may explode.
Q. How are the boil-overs avoided?
A. Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If you open the oven door or
touch STOP/CLEAR, the food will stop boiling.

CLEANING

Wipe the oven inside and outside
with a soft cloth and a mild detergent
solution. Then rinse and wipe dry.
This should be done on a weekly
basis, more often if needed. Never
use cleaning powders or rough pads.
Excessive oil splatters on the inside
top will be difficult to remove if left for
many days. Wipe splatters with a wet
paper towel, especially after cooking
chicken or bacon.
REMOVABLE PARTS
The following parts may be removed
as described. They should be washed
in warm (not hot) water with a mild
detergent and a soft cloth. Once they
are clean, rinse them well and dry
with a soft cloth. Never use cleaning
powders, steel wool or rough pads.
• The turntable may be cleaned at
the sink. Be careful not to chip or
scratch the edges as this may
cause the turntable to break
during use.
• The turntable roller rest should be
cleaned regularly.
SPECIAL CARE
For best performance and safety, the
inner door panel and the oven front
frame should be free of food or
grease buildup. Wipe them often with
a mild detergent. Then rinse and wipe
dry. Never use cleaning powders or
rough pads.
After cleaning the control panel, press
STOP/CLEAR to clear any entries that
might have been entered accidentally
while cleaning the panel.
