Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven
■ Steam or vapor escaping from around
the door.
■ Light reflection around door or outer case.
■ Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other
than high.
■ Dull thumping sound while oven is
operating.
■ TV/radio interference might be noticed
while using the microwave. Similar to
the interference caused by other small
appliances, it does not indicate a problem
with the microwave. Plug the microwave
into a different electrical circuit, move the
radio or TV as far away from the microwave
as possible, or check the position and
signal of the TV/radio antenna.
