Electrical Requirements  
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
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.

Troubleshooting  
First try the solutions suggested here or visit our website and reference FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)  
to possibly avoid the cost of a service call.  
Microwave oven will not operate  
Check the following:  
Turntable alternates rotation directions  
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning  
of the cycle.  
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.  
Display shows messages  
A “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. Reset the  
clock.  
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 below. If  
microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.  
A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for  
assistance.  
Door  
Radio, TV or cordless phone interference  
Check the following:  
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 happens to avoid unintended starting  
of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start  
the cycle.  
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.  
Control  
Frequency  
Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off.  
Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.  
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.  
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.  
Fan running during cooktop usage  
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some  
models), 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.
