Why is a noise heard after turning the oven off? This is normal. The fan will continue to run for a short time to cool the oven. When the oven has cooled sufficiently, the fan will turn off automatically. The fan will stop if the door is opened during the cooling phase. The fan will continue when the door is closed again until the cooling phase is complete.

Why does the food cool so fast when heated or cooked with Microwave? In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the outside first, the inside of the food relies on the transfer of heat. If food is cooked at a high power level it is possible that the heat may not have reached the center of the food.
