MICROWAVE OVEN Use and care guide MW8520XP

If you need service or assistance,
we suggest you follow
these four steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools of
any kind:
If nothing operates:
l Is the oven correctly plugged into a live circuit
with the proper voltage? (See page 20.)
l Have you checked the main fuse or circuit
breaker box?
If the microwave oven will not run:
l Is the timer set?
l If the Temperature Probe is being used, is it plug-
ged tightly into its socket?
l Is the door firmly closed and latched?
l Did you touch START?
l Did you follow the directions exactly?
If the microwave cooking times seem too long:
l Is the electric supply to your home low or lower
than normal? Your electric company can tell
you if the line voltage is low.
l Is the Cook Power set correctly?
l Are you allowing for more time when cooking
more food at one time?
If the display shows the time counting down but
the oven is not cooking:
l Is the oven door closed completely?
l Is the oven in a standing time between QUICK
DEFROST and COOK. (See page 9.)
l Have you set the controls as a kitchen timet?
If you do not hear the Programming lone
[page 16):
l Is the command correct’?
l Has the tone been cancelled?
If the fan seems to be running slower than
usual:
l Has the oven been stored in a cold area? The
fan will run slower until the oven warms up to
normal room temperature.
If there has been a power interruption, the Dis-
play will show 88:88. Reset the clock (page 6).
if the microwave oven turns off too soon or not
soon enough when using the probe:
l Is at least % of the probe in the food?
l Is the probe tip in the center of the food?
l Is the probe touching bone or fat?
l Have you allowed roasts to stand for a few min-
utes after cooking to equalize temperature?
l Is the probe plugged tightly into its socket?
l Is the Cook Power set correctly?
l Is the Probe Temperature set correctly?
