Troubleshooting
Microwave does not turn on or operate
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet itself has power by testing it with another appliance. Check if any circuit breaker has tripped.
Food is not heating or cooking unevenly
Verify that the power level is set correctly for the food item. Ensure the door is fully closed and latched. Check if the food is in microwave-safe cookware and that the turntable is rotating freely without obstruction. Adjust cooking time as needed for 700W power.
Turntable is not rotating
Make sure the turntable plate is correctly seated on the roller ring and the central spindle. Clean any food debris from beneath the turntable and the roller ring that might be impeding its movement. Ensure the roller ring itself is properly positioned.
Unusual noises during operation
This could be due to the turntable being misaligned or rubbing against the cavity wall. Reposition the turntable and roller ring. Also, ensure no metal objects are inside the microwave, which can cause arcing and unusual sounds.
Door does not close properly
Check for any food debris or obstructions around the door seal or latch mechanism. Gently clean the area. If the door appears physically damaged, contact customer support.
