Note: The door on a microwave oven is designed to act
as an electronic seal preventing the leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity during cook
cycle. This function does not require that door
be air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight or
light-tight. Therefore, occasional appearance of
moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around oven door is not abnormal
and do not of themselves indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity.

from wall and remove outer case. (Refer to procedure of
