we suggest you follow these five steps:
Performance problems often result
from little things you can find and fix
yourself without tools of any kind.
If nothlng operates:

ting (BAKE or BROIL, but not TIMED

main fuses or circuit breaker box?

will not turn?
l

operate:

right?
If the exhaust fan does not shut off:

microwave oven is on? [See note on
page 7.1
l
Is the temperature around the mi-
crowave oven more than 120°F
[ 49”C)?
If cooking results are not what you
expected:
l
Is the range level?
l
Are you using pans recommended
in the
Cooking Guide?
l
If baking, have you allowed lY2 to 2
inches (4-5 cm] on all sides of the
pans for air circulation?

recipe calls for?
