If you need service or assistance, we suggest you follow these

four

steps:

1 l

Before calling for assistance.. .

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself with- out tools of any kind. l l

If nothing operates:

Is the oven correctly plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

(See page 2.)

Have you checked breaker box? the main fuse or circuit l l l l

If the microwave oven will not run:

Is the timer set?

Is the door firmly closed and latched?

Did you push START?

Did you follow the directions and 5 exactly? on pages 4 l l l

If microwave cooking times seem too long:

Is the electric supply to your home low or lower than normal? Your electric company can tell you it the line voltage is low.

Is the Cook Power at the recommended setting?

Are you allowing for more time when cook- ing more food at one time?
