Fan comes on during cooktop usage

This is normal. The fan automatically comes on to cool the 
microwave oven if the temperature from the cooktop below 
gets too hot. See “Vent Fan” section.

Cooking times seem too long

Is the cooking power set properly?
See “Microwave Cooking Power” section.

Are large amounts of food being heated?
Larger amounts of food need longer cooking times.

Is the incoming voltage less than that specified in 
“Microwave Hood Combination Safety?”
Have a qualified electrician check the electrical system in the 
home.

Radio, TV or cordless phone interference

Is the microwave oven plugged into the same outlet?
Try a different outlet.

Is the radio or TV receiver near the microwave oven?
Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust 
the radio or TV antenna.

Are the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces clean?
Make sure these areas are clean.

Is the cordless phone frequency 2.4 GHz?
Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless 
networks may experience static or noise while the microwave 
oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency 
cordless phone or avoid using these items during microwave 
oven operation.
