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.
