2. Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
3. Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
4. Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
5. Plug the microwave oven into a different outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on
different branch circuits.
Before Calling For Service
Before asking for service, please check each item below:
z Check to ensure the oven is plugged in securely. If not, remove the plug from the outlet,
wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again securely.
z Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
z Check to ensure the control panel is programmed correctly and the timer is set.
z Check to ensure the door is securely closed, engaging the door lock system. If the door is
not properly closed, the microwave energy will not flow inside.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.
Cooking Techniques
1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed.
Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking to speed cooking of such foods as chicken
and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
7
Cooking Utensils Guide
1. The ideal material for a microwave utensil is transparent to microwave, it allows energy to
pass through the container and heat the food.
2. Microwave cannot penetrate metal, so metal utensils or dishes with metallic trim should not
be used.
3. Do not use recycled paper products when microwave cooking, as they may contain small
metal fragments which may cause sparks and/or fires.
4. Round /oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommend, as food in corners
tends to overcook.
5. Narrow strips of aluminum foil may be used to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. But be
careful don’t use too much and keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between foil and cavity.
The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils for microwave
mode, grill mode, and microwave + Grill mode.
