Project #3: Can you BRAG about your MicroWave Oven?
The purpose of this project is to determine if your microwave (MW) oven is leaky. Does it leak microwave radiation? It should take only a few minutes to compete the testing and data entry. Thank you for participating.
Method: Place a cup of water in the microwave oven. While the MW oven is OFF, measure the radiation using your Safe & Sound Pro II RF meter at a distance of 1.00 meter. Note this is a critical distance and you should measure it as accurately as possible using a tape measure or meter stick. The S&S meter should be between you and the MW oven so you can see the numbers on the meter. That means that the back of the meter will be facing the MW oven. Remember to zero the meter just prior to this measurement. No need to be concerned about other RF-emitting devices. Repeat with the MW oven turned on high for 30 seconds. Remember to zero your meter prior to this measurment. See image below.
