Maintenance
Before Requesting Service
ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL:
The oven causes interference with my TV.
The fan continues to operate after using the oven & the display shows “COOL”.
Steam accumulates on the oven door and warm air comes from the oven vents.
I accidentally ran my microwave oven without any food in it.
There are humming and clicking noises from my oven when I cook by Combination.
The oven has an odour and generates smoke when using the Convection, Combination and Grill function.
Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryer, etc. It does not indicate a problem with your oven.
This is normal - the fan can continue to operate after cooking, this is to cool the oven and the electronic components. It is safe to open the door and remove the food.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such as the oven door. This is normal.
Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. However, we do not recommend this to be done.
These noises occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power to Convection/Grill, to create the Combination setting. This is normal.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
PROBLEM
The oven is not plugged in securely.Remove plug from outlet, wait  10 seconds and re-insert.
Circuit breaker or fuse in your home is tripped or blown.Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse in your home.
There is a problem with the outlet.Plug another appliance into the outlet to check if the outlet is working.
The door is not closed completely.Close the oven door securely.
Start pad was not pressed after programming.Press Start pad.
Another program has already been entered into the oven.Press Stop/Reset pad to cancel the previous program and program again.
The program has not been entered correctly.Program again according to the Operating Instructions.
Stop/Reset pad has been pressed accidentally.Program oven again.
Clock pad has been pressed three times.Deactivate mode by pressing Clock pad three times.
Roller Ring and oven bottom are dirty.Clean these parts according to Care of Your Oven (see page 32).
POSSIBLE CAUSEREMEDY
The words “DEMO MODE”* appear on the screen.
When the oven is turning on, there is noise coming from Ceramic Tray.
Oven will not start cooking.
Oven will not turn on.
* DEMO MODE is designed for retail store display. Cooking and other functions will not operate during demo mode.If it seems there is a problem with the oven, contact an authorised Service Centre.

Maintenance
Oven Door:Wipe with a soft cloth when steam accumulates 
inside or around the outside of the oven door . 
This may occur when the oven is operated under high humidity conditions and in no way indicates a 
malfunction of the unit or microwave leakage  .
Control Panel:If the control panel becomes wet, clean with a soft, dry 
cloth . Do not use harsh 
detergents or abrasives on the 
control panel .
Outside oven surfaces and back vents:
Clean with a damp cloth .  To 
prevent from damage to the operating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to 
seep into ventilation openings  .
Inside of the oven:
Wipe with a damp cloth . Mild 
detergent may be used if the 
oven gets very dirty . The use of 
harsh detergent or abrasives is 
not recommended .  Do not use 
oven cleaners on the top of the 
oven .
The roller ring and oven cavity floor:Wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild 
detergent water or window cleaner and dry  . The 
roller ring may be washed in mild soapy water or in 
the dishwasher  . These areas should be kept clean to

Ceramic Tray:Remove and wash in warm 
soapy water or in a dishwasher  . 
If grease accumulates, clean with a non-abrasive nylon mesh scouring pad and nonabrasive 
cleaners  .
After GRILL or COMBINATION cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth squeezed in soapy 
water . If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate this grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to 
“SMOKE” during use  . To avoid smoking, run the oven without food on GRILL   for 20 minutes .
AFTER CLEANING:Be sure to replace Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray in the proper position and press Stop/Reset Pad 
to clear the display window  .
For the voltage requirement, the production month, country and serial number, please refer to the identification 
plate on the microwave oven .
