When I am reheating something I like to see how much time is left. Concerned about controls being behind door. Is this ok?

The start and cancel buttons are on the outside as well as the display screen, Just the same as any other microwave.

If you are cooking something with high moisture content, it will tend to steam. If you open the door and wipe it off, you will lose some heat, so it is better to just leave it to cook. I wipe it off when the cooking is done, if there is any left.

Sorry. I checked the manual but there was no max time listed. It explains what to do in case it over heats but doesn't indicate how long before it happens.

This is not an issue for me. I store my toaster in a drawer when not in use so always unplug it after use. When I plug it back in, the lights come on to whatever the last setting was. It's a feature I rather like as I'm not always toasting the same sort of thing. It lets me know if I have to reset it lighter or darker before I put the whole wheat bread, bagel, whatever in the toaster.

My guess is that we're given a specific heat time for our microwaves, and if you reheat it before it's completely cooled down you run the risk of overheating it, and it could possibly burst a seam or something.

I have hidden heating elements and I have placed my sheet on the bottom. It may take longer to cook things but that is okay with me. I usually add five minutes to the cooking time.

Yes you can heat or reheat items in a very short time frame because the heat is circulated around item.

I have never messed with that. It's been my experience that it is defaulted from the factory set is 2hrs. I do use the timer for waking up in the morning. Maybe that is where it defaults to 2hrs keeping it warm.

Actually, I leave it on all the time, but I'm sure the air quality would revert back in a short period of time. Just like on a hot day, when the air conditioner goes off, it doesn't take long before the house starts getting warm again. Except for cleaning it, I see no reason to turn it off, though.

I always wait till it is cool to touch before I reheat the disk which is good for a few hours. However, I do know of someone who was reheating the disk when it was still warm and resulted in damaging the disk and the liquid came out.

Allows you to determine how long the heater is on, saving some electricity when its off.

Yes, no matter what you set the timer on it has a mind if its own. sometimes it would get really hot without even being on. I Always unplugged when I left so it didn't catch fire.

No, which I consider a good thing. If you want it turned off then you need to turn it off, otherwise it produces heat (which what is supposed to do).

no unless you use the ohm meter function to check continuity. That could tell you if it's open or not.

I have not left it on if I am gone, however the heat element does turn on and off automatically according to whatthe thermostat is set for. I think you would probably be ok.

There are two High-Temp "Alarm" Lights for a 240-VAC hookup (120-VAC hookup utilizes only one) which show as a red glow visible through the grill while the "Cycling Thermal Overload Limit Switch" is cycling. When the unit cools a bit the Heaters resume (re-connect) and the glow disappears. So far mine have actuated twice over the life of the unit.

Turn it on and close your safe. Come back a few hours later and see if it is warmer inside. Using a small thermometer should show a slight increase of temperature inside. Of course the more you open it to check, the less effective it will be. Kind of like your refrigerator but in reverse.
