    PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO 
    EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 
    (a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open 
    since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure 
    to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or 
    tamper with the safety interlocks.
    (b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and 
    the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on 
    sealing surfaces.
    (c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly 
    important that the oven door close properly and that there 
    is no damage to the:
    (1) Door (bent),
    (2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
    (3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.  
    (d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone 
    except properly qualified service personnel.
    IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
    SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
    ■  Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described 
    in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the 
    microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to 
    heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or 
    laboratory use.
    ■  As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when 
    used by children.
    ■  Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord 
    or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged 
    or dropped. 
    ■  The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified 
    service personnel. Call an authorized service company for 
    examination, repair, or adjustment.
    ■  See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave Oven 
    Care” section.
    ■  To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
    – Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven 
    when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are 
    placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
    – Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before 
    placing bags in oven. 
    – If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, 
    turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off 
    power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. 
    – Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave 
    paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when 
    not in use.
    ■  Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated 
    beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible 
    bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the 
    microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT 
    IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN 
    THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER 
    UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
    To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
    – Do not overheat the liquid.
    – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
    – Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
    – After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave 
    oven for a short time before removing  the container.– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other 
    utensil into the container.
    ■  Oversized foods or oversized metal utensils should not 
    be inserted in the microwave oven as they may create a 
    fire or risk of electric shock.
    ■  Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn 
    off the pad and touch electrical parts involving a risk of 
    electric shock.
    ■  Suitable for use above both gas and electric cooking 
    equipment.
    ■  Intended to be used above ranges with maximum width 
    of 36 (91.44 cm).
    ■  Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not 
    be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
    ■  Do not use paper products when appliance is operated 
    in convection, combination, grill or “PAN BROWN” 
    mode (on models with such features). 
    ■  Do not store any materials, other than manufacturer’s 
    recommended accessories, in this oven when not in 
    use.
    ■  Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave 
    oven when the microwave oven is in operation.
    ■  When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
    ■  Use care when cleaning the vent-hood filter. Corrosive 
    cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, may 
    damage the filter.
    ■  Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave 
    oven. 
    ■  Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use 
    the microwave oven near water - for example, near a 
    kitchen sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming 
    pool, or similar locations.
    ■  Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
    ■  Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
    ■  Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter.
    ■  Do not mount over a sink.
    ■  Do not cover racks or any other part of the oven with 
    metal foil. This will cause overheating of the oven.

    WARNINGGROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
    SAVE THESE  INSTRUCTIONS
    ■  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.
    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. If the power supply cord is 
    too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install 
    an outlet near the microwave oven.
    This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.

    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.
    www.maytag.com
    Microwave oven will not operate
    Check the following:
    ■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.
    ■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 in the 
    bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call 
    for service.
    ■Door 
    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 occurs to avoid unintended starting of 
    the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start 
    the cycle.
    ■Control
    Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. 
    Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off.
    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.
    Turntable alternates rotation directions
    ■This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning 
    of the cycle.
    Display shows messages
    ■A flashing “:” or “PF” means there has been a power failure. 
    Reset the clock.
    ■A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for 
    assistance.
    Radio, TV or cordless phone interference
    Check the following:
    ■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.
    ■Frequency
    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.
    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.
