around door with an approved microwave survey meter.
(Refer to Microwave Measurement Procedure.)
Note: The door on a microwave oven is designed to
act as an electronic seal preventing the leakage
of microwave energy from oven cavity during
cook cycle. This function does not require that
door be air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight
or light-tight. Therefore, occasional appearance
of moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around oven door is not abnormal
and do not of themselves, indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity.
