Should be still under warranty, just check.
This kind of a fuze blowing when cooking is usually a shorting high voltage capacitor.
Take apart, short the capacitor terminals temporarily and check resistance. If it showes open, it still could be bad, just replace.

I believe microwave ovens are supposed to be on their own circuit. I had a similar problem when I first bought a microwave. I found that when the fridge cycled on and the microwave was on the fuse blew. My solution was to put microwave on a seperate fuse.
