Microwave Energy

Microwave energy is created by the magnetron or another microwave
generator.
Danger!
The human body must not be subjected to any microwave energy under any
circumstances, as this could result in serious internal injuries.
The following measures must always be complied with:
The magnetron or other microwave generator must be connected
properly.
All input and output connections, waveguides, flanges and seals must be
sealed correctly.
A microwave oven must never be operated without a microwave load.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna when the appliance is on.
In order to ensure that no microwave energy can escape after any
repair work has been completed, the appliance must be thoroughly
checked for microwave leaks in accordance with all applicable local
and national regulations. (In Germany, VDE regulation 0700 and CEE
regulation 335 apply.)
Checks should be carried out using a suitable microwave leak detector in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Particular care should be
taken around the door, casing edges, and visible vents.
The maximum permissible value is 5 mW/cm
5 centimeters (2 inches) from the appliance with a water load of 275 cm
