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.

•Moisture on the oven door and walls while cooking. Wipe the moisture off with a paper towel or soft cloth.

•Moisture between the oven door panels when cooking certain foods. Moisture should dissipate shortly after cooking is finished.

•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.

•The Active Vent door (on some models) will open during operation, and remain open while the microwave is running, to keep the electronics cool. It is also normal to hear a clicking noise as the vent door opens and closes.
