Electrical Requirements  
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.

or after cooking.  
Make sure microwave oven has been plugged in for at least 1 minute.  
Use microwave-safe dish with loose-fitting lid, or cover microwave-  
safe dish with plastic wrap and vent. For optimal performance, wait at  
least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models)  
before sensor cooking.  
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself  
or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door  
during Warm Hold will cancel the function.

below.  
Charcoal filters: The charcoal filters are behind the vent grille at  
the top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filters cannot  
be cleaned, and should be replaced about every 6 months, or as  
prompted by filter status indicator. Remove two screws on the  
vent grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filters. To  
reinstall, place each filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side up,  
replace vent grille, and secure with screws.

Problem Solver  
If you experience  
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  
“Enter clock” with flashing digits 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, 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.
