CAUSE
•

or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.
•
The cook power is not at the recommended setting. Check the "Microwave
cooking guide" section on page 34.

You have not allowed enough cooking time for the amount of food being
cooked. Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
