Things that
are normal 

Interference

■

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. Move 

the radio or TV as far away from the

microwave as possible, or check the

position of the TV/radio antenna.

Lights

■

The oven light will not come on 

during a microwave cooking cycle. 

For about 5 seconds of light, press the

MICROWAVE/OVEN LIGHT pad.

The oven light will come on automatically

when the door is opened.

Oven Heat

■

Cookware may become hot because of 

heat transferred from the heated food.

Oven mitts may be needed to handle 

the cookware.

■

Steam or vapor may escape from around 

the door. 

Sounds

■

You may hear a dull thumping sound while

the oven is operating.
