Microwave ovens are designed and manufactured to prevent the leakage of microwave radiation during normal operation. When a microwave oven is properly maintained and in good working condition, it should not leak radiation while it is not in use.
However, it is important to note that if a microwave oven is damaged, has a faulty seal, or is not used according to the manufacturer's instructions, there is a potential risk of radiation leakage. Damaged or misused microwave ovens can pose a safety hazard.
To ensure the safety of your microwave oven, it is advisable to regularly inspect it for any signs of damage, such as a damaged door seal or a malfunctioning latch. Additionally, always follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and avoid tampering with the oven's internal components.
If you suspect that your microwave oven is leaking radiation or if you have any concerns about its safety, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician to have it inspected and repaired if necessary.
