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.
