Answer
When the oven is working, air circulates within the cavity.
The door does not form an airtight seal so air may escape from the door.
The oven cavity will normally be colder than the food being cooked, and so steam produced when
cooking will condense on the colder surface. The amount of steam produced depends on the water
content of the food being cooked. Some foods, such as potatoes, have a high moisture content.
Condensation trapped in the door glass should clear after a few hours.
Arcing will occur when a metallic object comes into close proximity to the oven cavity during cooking.
This may possibly roughen the surface of the cavity, but would not otherwise damage the oven.
Ensure all "eyes" are removed from the potatoes and that they have been pierced, place directly
onto the turntable or in a heat resistant flan dish or similar.
Check that the door is closed properly.
Ensure correct power level has been selected.
The microwave energy pulses ON and OFF during cooking/defrosting.
The cabinet may become warm to the touch – keep children away.
