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.
