If your microwave is not lined with stainless steel (and
maybe regardlessly), always leave the door ajar for a few minutes to allow the steam and condensation to ventilate out. Make a habit of wiping the inside after every serious usage.

I wonder what the original paint is? Stove enamel? Brian |

Make a habit of wiping the inside after every serious usage. I dont do anything like that and use it almost every day, usually with steam being produced and have done that for 50 years now. And its not stainless steel either.

(1986 for me). |

I know I got the date right because thats when I moved into the partly built house that I built myself and got a microwave when I did. Its still going fine. When did other people buy their first one ? (1986 for me). |

Caveat: Remember to close the microwave door before pulling down a plasterboard ceiling panel. I'm not sure if it is a common fault, but that is what killed my last microwave. |
