NOTE: The door on a microwave oven is designed to act
as an electronic seal preventing the leakage of mi-
crowave energy from oven cavity during cook cycle.
This function does not require that door be air-tight,
moisture (condensation) tight or light-tight. There-
fore, occasional appearance of moisture, light or
sensing of gentle warm air movement around oven
door is not abnormal and do not of themselves,
indicate a leakage of microwave energy from oven
cavity.
