Leakage of microwave radiation past the door seal in a microwave oven.
Why can microwave radiation be used to detoxify trichloromethane but not tetrachloromethane?
past the door seal in a microwave oven
Can microwaves leak out of a microwave oven?
Yes, microwaves can leak out of a microwave oven. The microwaves are directed into the cavity (the cooking space) of the oven, but they can leak around the seal provided by the door. The door seal is the most probable and common place for leaks to appear. (Most of the rest of the cavity construction does not lend itself to "breakdown" and microwave leakage.) It's not a good idea to slam the door of a microwave oven shut. Shut it gently. And never lean on the door, not when it's shut, and never when it's open. You and the other users of the appliance have control over how it is treated. If you have doubts about the integrity of the door of your oven, call a repair center in your area. Ask about checking for leaks, and they'll give you the scoop. It is cheaper to take a unit in for a leakage check than to have someone come out. Additionally, the meter used by the professional to do this costs a ton of money and has to be calibrated at least annually. (That's why there's a fee associated with the check.) If you (and others) use your oven per the manufacturer's instructions and take care of it, leaking microwaves should not be an issue. But anything that damages the door may affect its seal, and a check is in order.
Why is it important to check that the gas is alight before closing the oven door?
It is important to check that the gas is alight because you have to make the oven warm up
What does a microwave leak dector do?
It checks that no microwaves have escaped from the oven. Microwaves are harmful to living flesh. Not only will it cook you, as it does in the oven, but even small doses can cause eye cataracts. The door seal has a mesh, that will trap the microwave radiation. The mechanical size of the mesh is designed to interfere with the radio wave length. The door seals can get damaged with use and as radio waves are invisible, no one would know there is a problem. By moving a microwave leak detector around the door seal and cabinet, you can check to see that the oven is safe. The device can also be used for radar systems, that use wave guides up to the scanner, to check joints.

So that the oven can get warmed up and to get to the right temperature!

You need to consult the manufacturer or retailer to describe the fault; they'll tell you if it will be necessary for a technician to check out the oven.
How do you dry clothes in an oven?
Should have convection oven to remove humidity...set very low temperature (50ºC or 60ºC maximum). Make sure they are far from the oven resistance. Close door and check regularly.
Can food bake if the oven is slightly open?
Ovens work because heat is kept confined to a small area. If the oven door is left open, it disrupts the way an oven works. An open oven door will prevent food from being baked evenly. If a recipe calls for say, 375 degrees for 2 hours, the oven temperature will never reach 375 degrees OR stay consistently at 375 degrees for the duration of baking. Plus, you will waste considerable energy, whether the oven is gas or electric. You should repair the oven door, or buy a new stove/oven, and tell others to not keep opening the oven door to 'check' food.
