Foggy glass

The seal on the microwave door glass is compromised and allowing moisture and perhaps the microwaves, to enter between the windows inner and outer.
There is a great potential for leakage here.
I would not continue to operate this oven until I have it fixed.

It looks like it's foggy inside the scanner and the images also look the same once scanned

Sounds like moisture built up under the glass. Move the unit to a dry warm place and let sit (with cover open) for a few days. You can also use a hair dryer set on low to speed up the process. This moisture can be caused if the unit was in a cool or cold area then moved into a warmer area.

How can you clean the glass on a Canon 8600F

Got this from Canon.com: The foggy haze on the glass is actually an anti-glare treatment that has been intentionally applied to the underside of the scanner glass. This treatment lessens the glare from the lamp under the glass and provides better image quality. This haze may not appear uniform because of the shape of the scanner base and the components under the glass. However, the anti-glare treatment has been uniformly applied and the haze is as expected.

How do I clean the mirrors on the HP 7680 All In One so that the scanned photos do not look dusty?

More than likely on that model, the mirrors as you call it will not get dirty it is sealed.If the glass appears foggy, that does not affect the quality of you scans generally.Alot of the newer scanners create that on the glass.And frequently the new replacemtn scanners have that too.

CanoScan 5000F foggy glass

No problem.
1st step. Remove the lid. It just pulls out at the hinge end by lifting straight up, horizontal if you like. Where the two lid posts insert in the scanner body you will find 2 screws, undo them, no need to remove at this point, too hard. Rememeber you left them in there though.
2nd step. Around the 4 buttons at the control end is a striped trim panel that is the full width of the scanner. Locate the join between this trim and the light grey underside of the scanner body and just left and right of the COPY & EMAIL buttons, Using your fingernails lift with some gentle force. This edge will pop up. Note, the trim panel has 3 location tabs that insert under the grey border edge around the glass. So pop the front edge first and pull towards yourself.
3rd step. Once this trim is removed you will note 4 little grey plugs equally spaced under this area. remove the plugs and you will find 4 screws. Unscrew them, no need to remove, remember point above.
4th step. Time for CAUTION. You will be able to lift the upper part of the scanner up in which the glass is mounted. ***There is a lead with little play connected to the 4 buttons PCB which is attached to the upper panel. To ensure you don't damage it accidently when cleaning the glass you can remove the 2 screws attaching it to the upper panel.
5th step. See if you can wipe it, with a VERY SOFT LINT FREE cloth, without putting you finger on it somewhere......................
6th step. reassembly is the same in reverse

Canon 9900f scanner glass removal

I would not worry about the underside of the glass unless you are having problems. The focal length of the ccd that captures the image is very specific and probably will not pick up anything under the glass. It is normal for the underside to look foggy but it will not hurt anything.
