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.
