Things That Are Normal With Your Microwave Oven

■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.

■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.

■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.
