TROUBLESHOOTING

NORMAL
The microwave interferes with the TV reception.	Interference with the radio and TV reception is possible when operating a microwave. This is similar to the interference caused by small electrical appliances such as mixers, vacuum cleaners and electric fans. This is normal.
Weak oven light	When cooking in the microwave at low power, the oven light can become weaker. This is normal.
Steam collects at the door, hot air escapes from the ventilation slots	Steam can rise from food during cooking. It usually escapes from the ventilation slots. It occasionally also collects at a cool place, like the oven door. This is normal.
The oven was accidentally started without food.	Operating the appliance without food is prohibited. This is very dangerous.

PROBLEM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	REMEDY
Oven cannot be started.	(1) The power cable is not inserted correctly.	Pull out the plug. Plug it in again after 10 seconds.
	(2) The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped.	Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker (have it repaired by the specialists at our company).
	(3) Problem with the power socket.	Test the outlet with other electrical devices.
The oven is not heating.	(4) The door is not closed correctly.	Close the door firmly.

The symbol of the crossed-out wheeled bin on the product or its packaging means that the appliance is not suitable for disposal in household waste and that it requires separate disposal.
