Door Surface
It's important to keep the area clean
where the door seals against the
microwave. Use only mild, non-abrasive
detergents applied with a clean sponge
or soft cloth. Rinse well.
Power Cord
If the cord becomes soiled, unplug
and wash with a damp cloth. For
stubborn spots, sudsy water may be
used, but be certain to rinse with a
damp cloth and dry thoroughly before
plugging cord into outlet.
Possible Causes
A fuse in your home may be
blown or the circuit breaker tripped.

or check the position and signal of
the TV/radio antenna.
