Installing/Replacing Filters and Light Bulbs

■ Grease filters: Grease filters are on the underside of microwave

oven. Clean monthly. Slide the filter away from the tab area,

and drop out the filter. To reinstall, place end of the filter into

the opening opposite the tab area, swing up the other end,

and slide it toward the tab area.

■ Charcoal filter: The charcoal filter is behind the vent grille at the

top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filter cannot be

cleaned, and should be replaced about every 6 months, or as

prompted by filter status indicator. Remove two screws on the

vent grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filter. To

reinstall, place the filter into its slotted area – wire mesh side

up, replace vent grille, and secure with screws.

■ Cooktop light: The cooktop light bulb is located on the

underside of the microwave oven, and is replaceable. Remove

bulb cover screws, and open the bulb cover. Replace bulb,

close bulb cover, and secure with screws.

■ Cavity light: The cavity light bulb is located behind the vent

grille at the top front of the microwave oven, under the bulb

cover, and is replaceable. Remove two screws on the vent

grille, tilt the grille forward, and lift it out. Remove bulb cover

screw, open bulb cover and replace bulb. Close bulb cover,

and secure with screw. Replace vent grille, and secure with

screws.

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.amana.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.

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.

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.
