Cause
•
The door is not firmly closed and latched.
•
You did not press START.
•
You did not follow directions exactly.
•
An operation that was programmed earlier is still running.
•
You have not not dialed in the time after pressing COOK TIME.
•
The electric supply to your home or wall outlets is low or lower than normal.
Your electric company can tell you if the line voltage is low. Your electrician
or service technician can tell you if the outlet voltage is low.
•
The cook power is not at the recommended setting.
•
Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.
•
The turntable is not correctly in place. Make sure the turntable is correct-side
up and is sitting securely on center shaft.
•
The support is not operating correctly. Remove turntable, check that the
turntable support is properly in place, and restart oven. If turntable support
does not move, call a designated service technician for repair. Cooking
without the turntable can give you poor results.
•
The oven door is not closed completely.
•
You have set the controls as a kitchen timer. Press OFF / CANCEL to
cancel the Minute Timer.
•
The command is not correct.
•
The oven has been stored in a cold area. The fan will run slower until the oven
warms up to normal room temperature.
•
There has been a power interruption. Reset the clock.
