Inside Panel Discolored?

I purchased this microwave and my husband installed it. It looked great except for 1 minor scratch on front. However after installing it we went on vacation. Upon returning and after using it several times I noticed the left side panel which covers the fan looked like a bronze color instead of shiny stainless. My problem is I'm not sure if it came like that or if it should be shiny silver like the rest of the inside? I just dont remember prior to going away. Any help would be appreciated!
