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.
