Troubleshooting and error codes

What's wrong when the oven light will not glow?	There may be several reasons why the oven light will not glow. Either the light bulb has blown or the electric circuit has failed.
NO. The holes, or ports, are made to allow light to pass; they do not let microwave energy through.
The BEEP tone sounds to assure that the setting is being properly entered.
Yes. Never run it empty.
When baking, frying, or poaching eggs, the yolk may pop due to steam build up inside the yolk membrane. To prevent this, simply pierce the yolk before cooking. Never microwave eggs in the shell.
After microwave cooking is finished, food keeps on cooking during standing time. This standing time finishes cooking evenly throughout the food. The amount of standing time depends on the density of the food.
Check your cooking guide again to make sure you've followed directions correctly, and to see what might cause variations in cooking time. Cooking guide times and heat settings are suggestions, chosen to help prevent overcooking, the most common problem in getting used to this oven. Variations in the size, shape, weight and dimensions of the food require longer cooking time. Use your own judgment along with the cooking guide suggestions to test food conditions, just as you would do with a conventional cooker.
