Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools of
any kind.
If nothing operates:

Is the oven correctly plugged into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See page 6.)
l
Have you checked your home's main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
l
Have you checked the electric company for a
power failure?
If the microwave oven will not run:

Is the timer set?
l
Is the door firmly closed and latched?
l
Did you follow the directions exactly?
If microwave cooking times seem too long:

low or lower than normal? Your electric company
