Hot food or oils cometimes get on the inside of the microwave oven (the inside is called a cavity) and discolor or burn the finish. The cavity is made of steel. A burn on the steel or the finish on the steel doesn't pose a risk if it's cleaned off. It's just an unattractive feature of the unit now. Make sure that the area around the little cover inside where the microwaves come in is clean and undamaged. That little cover is usually made of mica, and it closes off the end of the waveguide (the pathway from the magnatron to the oven cavity). It's a good idea to have it replaced if it's damaged. They're not terribly expensive. Now to the door. Burns on the door and window can be serious. The door and the seals around it must be clean and free of defects or there is a risk of microwave leakage. A messed up door might not seal properly. If the burns are in the cavity, no problem. If they're on the door, could be trouble. But a lot of appliance shops have what is called a microwave leakage detector which they use to check the units. Their mobile repair technicians often carry one on the truck. A person with doubts would be advised to call a shop and inquire about having the microwave tested for leakage. A house call won't be as cheap as walk-in service, obviously. The detectors they use cost quite a bit, and they cost a bunch to be calibrated, too, so shops won't be testing the units for free. Check with an appliance outfit or three and get some estimates. Good luck.
