I totally do this. Mine is set to just over 4min at the moment (manual dial). Door ajar to stay off until I use it next,which could be weeks away.

It's completely normal as far as I'm concerned ;) But I do adjust to a round minute if I really want to stick close to the instructed time.

    Just an FYI. Opening the microwave before it is done can damage it. I had one that would always blow the breaker if my dad used it, but worked fine for me. Turned out he was opening the microwave 1 second before it was done.

    Sounds like a power surge as the microwave doesn't stop correctly. Either my home's have always had better breakers or the microwaves I've had are designed so it doesn't create a power surge if you open the door as an off switch (in the UK btw). Never had anything happen in over 20 years of doing this, but a fair warning to give :)
