TROUBLESHOOTING

beginning of the cycle.

See "Timer" section.

microwave oven.

separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during
microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. Both
the vent fan and the cooling fan may also automatically come
on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven's
controls while the cooktop below is being used.
Cooking times seem too long
Is the cooking power set properly?
See "Microwave Cooking Power" section.
Are large amounts of food being heated?
Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.

Hood Combination Safety?"
Have a qualified electrician check the electrical system in the
home.
