Five things you should never do with a microwave:
1. Never operate the microwave oven empty.
2. Never use a microwave for deep-frying or canning.
3. Never use a microwave oven to heat a baby bottle.
4. Stay alert. Especially while making popcorn due to the huge amount of heat generated which often results in sudden fires.
5. Use a microwave safe bowl or container for cooking and heating.
As a general rule, never use any container that contains metal.
Cleaning the microwave after every use is very important for health and safety. Modern microwaves are equipped with a detachable, rotating glass plate at the base. After each use, the plate should be taken out and cleaned properly. This is important as the residual food particles may get heated and catch fire if not cleaned. When owners do not clean the microwave properly, leftover food particles cause the microwave to work harder and may cause microwave leakage. If your oven is not fitted with a detachable base, wipe out the base with a gentle water and soap mix and dry it perfectly before using. Good microwave cleaners can also be used.
It is important to clean the edges of the door carefully. The edges of the door are a very common area in which food particles get trapped and cause major damage to the microwave door.

But you should proactively stop using it and contact a repair professional or the manufacturer for a repair.
