Microwave exterior (top or sides) becomes excessively hot during use.

Safety: Turn off and allow to cool if the exterior is too hot to touch.

• Check clearances: Ensure the Amica microwave has the minimum clearances specified in the manual on all sides and above.
• Clear obstructions: Move any items blocking vents or placed on top of the microwave.
• Fan check: Listen for the cooling fan during operation. If silent, the fan motor may be faulty.
• Usage pattern: Avoid running multiple long, high-power cycles back-to-back without short cooling periods.
