Cookware guide
For food to cook in the microwave oven, the microwaves must be able to penetrate the food without being
reected or absorbed by the dish. It is important to choose the correct cookware.
Microwave-safe utensils
If you are not sure whether an item is microwave-safe you can perform the following simple test:
1. Place 1 cup of water (in a glass-measuring cup) inside your oven next to the item to be tested.
2. Press Microwave, and then press START/+30s twice to heat them both for one minute at high power.
After one minute, the water should be warm and the item you are testing should be cool. If the dish is warm,
then it is absorbing microwave energy and is not microwave-safe.
WARNING
Never heat a sealed jar, bottle, or container in your microwave. The build-up of gasses in the jar, bottle, or
container can cause it to explode.

Troubleshooting
Check these solutions if you have a problem with your microwave:
The display and/or the oven is not working.
Make sure the plug is properly connected to a grounded outlet. If the wall outlet is controlled by a wall switch,
make sure the wall switch is turned on.
Remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in again.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.
Plug a different appliance into the outlet. If the other appliance doesn’t work, call a qualied electrician to
repair the wall outlet. Plug the oven into a different outlet.
The display is working, but the power won’t come on.
Make sure the door is closed securely.
Check if any packaging material or anything else is stuck in the door seal.
Check if the door is damaged.
Touch Cancel twice, and then enter all the cooking instructions again.
The microwave turned off before the set time elapsed.
If there was a power outage, the time indicator will display: 88:88.
If no power outage occurred, remove the plug from the outlet, wait ten seconds, and plug it in again. Reset the
clock and any cooking instructions.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace any blown fuses.
Cooks food too slowly.
Make sure the oven has its own dedicated circuit with a rating of at least 15A and a maximum of 20A.
Operating another appliance on the same circuit can cause a voltage drop. If necessary, move the oven to its
own circuit.
Has sparks or arcing.
Remove any metallic utensils, cookware, or metal ties. If using foil, use only narrow strips and allow at least
one inch between the foil and the interior oven walls.
The turntable makes noise or becomes stuck.
Clean the turntable, roller ring, and oven oor.
Make sure the turntable and roller ring are positioned correctly.
