I know this is in the wrong section but thought someone on here could help.
We have just bought a new microwave cooker but cannot work out how to open the door it must must be something simple but cannot see what.
It is a Comfee  Model number CM-M202GSF(WH).Thank's in anticipation

Please tell me that the instruction booklet containing details of how to open the door is shipped inside the shut microwave?

You can download the manual. Here, for example:

Curiously, while the manual is full of homely wisdom (switch it off if smoke is emitted, for example), there is no mention of how to open the door.

I'm sure @Sandtree is right, by the way, but it's not all that obvious.

Might be just me but normally the door open control, if if it isn't a handle, is usually a button below the control panel.  There's only so many places it can go and its silly to put it on the top, the side or the bottom, so as most units are full height doors, it can only go bottom right, surely?

Although I did notice something interesting in the linked manual above - "It is forbidden to run the unit without any food inside.  It is very dangerous."  Well yes it is dangerous because the process will damage the magnetron which generates the waves (effectively a self fulfilling prophecy), I would argue it's not exactly "forbidden" to do that.  After all PC Plod isn't going to come round and arrest you for it, and if you want to damage your own unit, that's up to you

There's some poor chap in an office in China trying to translate all the instructions into 37 different languages, he can't be perfect all of the time! Which is why lots of stuff come with lots of pretty pictures but no words - then every consumer in every country fluent in every language can all be equally confused.

Very Good, I was going to say something along the lines of copy and paste into Google Translate, as its always painfully obvious when that's been done.  That and things like "wearing of this garment does not allow you to fly".

The small 'panel' in the bottom right hand corner looks favourite to me.
