Make sure the 3-prong plug on the oven is fully
inserted into wall outlet.

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.
