Before Requesting Service

The oven causes interference with
my TV.
Steam accumulates on the oven
door and warm air comes from the
oven vents.
I accidentally operate my
microwave oven without any food
in it.
There are humming and clicking
noises from my oven when I cook
by Combination.
The oven has an odor and
generates smoke when using
Oven, Combination and Grill
function.
Noise comes from evaporating
channel.
The fan motor continues operating
after cooking is over.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE NORMAL:
Some radio and TV interference might occur when you cook with the
microwave oven. This interference is similar to the interference caused by
small appliances such as mixers, vacuums, hair dryers, etc. It does not
indicate a problem with your oven.
During cooking, steam and warm air are given off from the food. Most of the
steam and warm air are removed from the oven by the air which circulates in
the oven cavity. However, some steam will condense on cooler surfaces such
as the oven door. This is normal.
Operating the oven empty for a short time will not damage the oven.
However, we do not recommend this to be done.
These noise occur as the oven automatically switches from microwave power
to Grill, to create the Combination setting. This is normal.
It is essential that your oven is wiped out regularly particularly after cooking
by Oven, Combination or Grill. Any fat and grease that builds up on the roof
and walls of the oven will begin to smoke if not cleaned.
When using Steam Shot, Steam Defrost or some auto menus, steam will be
made from water tank, then transfer to evaporating channel. The water flow
and heated can make this noise.
This is perfectly normal, the fan motor is cooling the electric components.
