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.
