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.
