<p>You definitely should cover the microwave or water boiler on inspection day, or put them out of sight. However make sure you are not in the room since although they are not allowed to touch anything but they can ask you to do it and they will! I was in my room in my first year and I was asked to open drawers and a lot of sniffing was done. Haha I don’t know what they expected to find or see.</p>
