What
is wrong
when the oven light does not
glow?
There may be several reasons why the oven
Iight does not glow. Perhaps
Door is not closed and locked. Push firmly IO
be sure that door is locked properly.
The light bulb has burned out.
Why is steam coming out of the air exhaust
vent?
Steam is normally produced during cooking.
The microwave
oven has been made to vent
this steam.
Can the microwave
oven be damaged if it
operates empty?
Yes. Never operate while empty or without the
turntable positioned correctly on the roller rest.
Why is there noise coming from the turntable
when the oven is turned on?
This noise occurs when the turntable roller rest
and cavity bottom are dirty. Frequent cleaning
of these parts should eliminate or reduce the
noise.
Instructions for aluminium
foil use are
confusing. When should I use foil?
It should be used to shield r)ortions of food
from becoming overcooked or overdefrosted.
Use small flat pieces of foil for shielding.
SENSOR
Why couldn't I get good results even though I
cooked food using Auto Sensor Cooking?
There are several possible reasons. Perhaps:
The food was not covered properly. (See pages
14-16
for instructions on how to prepare food).
The STOP/CLEAR button was pressed, or the
door was opened, while the sensor was
programming
the right cooking time and power
level.
The oven had not been plugged into a power
supply for at least 5 minutes before you started
cooking.
You may need to use the HiGH/LOW
keypad to
adjust the cooking level to your taste. If you do
not select a preferred level of doneness, the
oven automatically
cooks to medium doneness.
The food being cooked was not suitable for
Auto Sensor Cooking. Some foods will not fall
into one of the Auto Sensor categories, and
should be cooked using Time Cooking.
There may have been too much, or not enough
food to ensure proper results from Auto Sensor
Cooking. When cooking more than 900 g or
less than 115 g of food, you should use Time
Cooking.

What is wrong when baked foods have a hard,
dry brown spot?
This is caused by overcooking.
Shorten
cooking or reheating time.
Why do eggs sometimes
pop?
The egg yolk may pop because of steam
build-up inside the membrane.
To prevent this,
simply pierce the membrane
with a toothpick
before cooking it.
CAUTION: Never microwave eggs in the shell
since they may explode.
Why are scrambled eggs sometimes
a little dry
after cooking?
Eggs dry out if they are overcooked.
You may
need to vary the cooking time for one of these
reasons:
Eggs vary in size.
Eggs are at room temperature
one time and at
refrigerator temperature
another time.
The shapes of utensi Is vary, which makes it
necessary to vary cooking time.
Eggs continue cooking during standing time.
What is wrong when three potatoes bake
thoroughly
and the fourth one is still not
cooked?
The fourth potato may be slightly heavier than
the others and should be cooked 30 to 60
seconds longer. Remember to allow 2.5 cm
around each potato when baking.
For more
even cooking, place potatoes in a circle.
Why do baked apples sometimes
burst during
cooking?
The peel has not been removed from the top
half of each apple to allow for expansion of the
interior of the apple during cooking.
As in
regular cooking methods, the interior of the
apple expands during the cooking process.
How are boil-overs avoided?
Use a larger utensil than usual for cooking. If
you open the oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR,
the food will stop boiling.
Why does the dish become hot when I
microwave
food in it?
As the food becomes hot it will conduct the
heat into the dish. Use oven mitts to remove
food after cooking.
