■Light reflection around door or
outer case.
■Dimming oven light and change in
the blower sound at power levels other

■Dull thumping sound while oven is

■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 TVas far away from the microwave
as possible, or check the position and
signal of the TV/radio antenna.
