Maintenance
Before Requesting Service
ALL THESE THINGS  ARE  NORMAL:
The oven causes interference 
with my TV.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.
The oven lights dim. When cooking with a power other than P10 – P3, the oven must cycle to 
obtain the lower power levels. The oven light will dim and clicking noises 
can be heard when the oven cycles.
Steam accumulates on the oven 
door and warm air comes from 
the oven vents.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.
I accidentally ran my microwave 
oven without any food in it.Running the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven. 
However, we do not recommend this to be done.
The oven has an odor and 
generates smoke when using 
the Bake, Combination and 
Broil function.It is essential that your oven is cleaned regularly particularly after 
cooking. Any fat and grease that builds up on the ceiling 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 is tripped 
or blown.Reset circuit breaker or replace 
fuse.
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 Button was not pressed 
after programming.Press Start Button.
Another program has already 
been entered into the oven.Press Stop/Reset Button to 
cancel the previous program and 
program again.
The program has not been 
entered correctly.Program again according to the 
Operating Instructions.
Stop/Reset Button has been 
pressed accidentally.Program oven again.
Oven is set at Demo Mode.* Press Micro Power Button once, 
press Start Button 4 times and 
press Stop/Reset Button 4 times 
to turn off Demo Mode.
Roller Ring and oven bottom are 
dirty.Clean these parts according to 
Care of Your Oven (see next 
page).
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 authorized Service Center.

Maintenance
Oven Door:
Wipe with a soft dry cloth 
when steam accumulates 
inside or around the outside of 
the oven door. 
During cooking, especially 
under high humidity 
conditions, steam is given off 
from the food.  
( Some steam will condence on 
cooler surfaces, such as the 
oven door. This is normal.)
Inside surface is covered with 
a heat and vapor barrier film. 
DO NOT remove. BEFORE CLEANING:
Unplug oven at wall outlet.
If outlet is inaccessible, leave oven door open 
while cleaning.
Outside oven surfaces:
Clean with a damp cloth. 
To prevent damage to the 
operating parts inside the oven, 
water should not be allowed to 
seep into ventilation openings.
Roller Ring and oven cavity 
floor:
Clean the bottom surface of 
the oven with mild detergent 
water or window cleaner and 
dry. Roller Ring may be 
washed in mild soapy water 
or dishwasher. These areas 
should be kept clean to avoid 
excessive noise.DO NOT remove 
waveguide cover:
It is important to 
keep cover clean in 
the same manner as 
the inside of the 
oven. Ceramic Tray:
Remove and wash in warm 
soapy water or in a dishwasher. 
If grease accumulates, clean 
with a non-abrasive nylon mesh 
scouring button and non caustic 
oven cleaners.
After Bake/Broil/Combination cooking, the oven should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened in soapy water. 
If the oven is not cleaned occasionally to eliminate grease, it can accumulate and cause the oven to SMOKE 
during use. If smoking still occurs, run the oven without food on BROIL for 20 minutes.AFTER CLEANING:
Be sure to replace Roller Ring and Ceramic Tray in 
the proper position and press Stop/Reset Button 
to clear the Display Window.
Care of  Your Microwave Oven
Control Panel:
If the control panel 
becomes wet, clean 
with a soft, dry cloth. 
DO NOT use harsh 
detergents or 
abrasives.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE OVEN CLEAN AND DRY. FOOD RESIDUE AND CONDENSATION 
MAY CAUSE RUSTING OR ARCING AND DAMAGE TO THE OVEN. AFTER USE, WIPE DRY ALL 
SURFACES—INCLUDINGS, OVEN SEAMS, AND UNDER GLASS TRAY.
Inside of the oven:
Wipe with a damp cloth after 
using. Mild detergent may be 
used if needed.
DO NOT use harsh detergents 
or abrasives.
