What should I do if my microwave oven will not start?

Check that the electrical cord is plugged into the outlet, the door is fully closed, and that you have entered the correct operation settings per the instructions on pages 11–17. The microcomputer in the oven control may temporarily become scrambled, so try unplugging the oven from the wall outlet and plugging it back in. Also ensure you are not using materials that should be avoided in the microwave, and do not operate the oven when empty. (Page 27)
