Microwave Problems

microwave oven?

just bought a microwave oven, a stainless steel sharp. however when food is heated the door and outer cabinet also gets hot. how can this be avoided, meaning what type of microwave ovens can be bought which does not get hot from the outside? id prefer a large microwave oven, v.efficient and easy clean and safe. thanx btw, it says in the little booklet that this can happen...... problem is the booklet wasnt there in the show roo or we would have realised and not bought it

1. I've had Panasonics, and they do not have this problem. I'd take it back and say it does not suit your requirements.
2. I am amazed the door gets hot. Normally the wall or roof gets a little warm as steam vents. I have a cheapo Cookworks model. I haven't had a problem with it. The Sanyo and Saisho's I had before were o.k. too. I should ask the shop if they will replace it. Pricerunner is a good place to compare electricals.
3. maybe there isnt enough ventelation for the heat to go out
4. take it back its Faulty sharp is a good make this should not do this so take it back for a new one
