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.
