HI
first time i have used this forum and wondering if i could pick your
brains..
the silver wavecover has burnt in my microwave...is it dangerous to
continue using it without the cover???ie microwave radiation in my
food.....what exactly is the function of the cover
thanks in advance

it protects the magnetron . Protects it from moisture and grease.
best to replace it . contact local appliance parts house or AMI

BTW the item you are referring is normally made of sheet mica, and is placed
at the junction of the wave guide and cooking cavity. As stated it elimnates
spalshes of material from reaching and coating the magnatron, burning there,
and eventually destroying it.

It will not be protected.It's very cheap to replace.Buy a strip,cut to
size.Not really dangerous but for the price why bother to take the
risk
