WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
■
For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric
current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven.
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filter. To reinstall,
place the filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side up, replace
vent grille, and secure with screws.

Recommended Solutions
Microwave oven will
not operate
Check the following:
■
■
■
Household fuse or circuit breaker - If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the
fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.
Magnetron - Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not
heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.
Door - Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it,
then firmly close door.
If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the
microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close
the door, then start the cycle.
■
Control - Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo Mode (on some
models) is off.
Arcing in the
microwave oven
Check the following:
■
Soil buildup - Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the
door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section.
Turntable alternates
rotation directions
■
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows
messages
■
■
A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock.
A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
Fan running during
cooktop usage
■
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan,
automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also
automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is
being used.
Radio, TV or cordless
phone interference
Check the following:
■
■
■
Proximity - Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
Soil - Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
Frequency - Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise
while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone or avoid using these
items during microwave oven operation.
