How far away would I have to be?

What if I do find the cover but I can't do more than lay it on top, in

Thanks a lot.

So far as I recall, the ONLY unique hazards connected with a microwave are
its interference with some, older, pacemakers and exacerbating cataracts if
you put your eyeball in the oven. If you were using a *megawatt radar dish
to warm you chocolate bar, you might get a hot hand, but otherwise...

Other hazards, that a microwave shares with a toaster, are electric shock
from exposed components or possibly a fire.- Hide quoted text -

I used to do Amana warranty work and we had one of those testers for
checking for leakage. It made the customers feel all warm and fuzzy. I
have tested numerous ones with the cover off and never found a
significant amount of leakage so getting nuked is not the problem.
There could be some lethal voltages exposed with the cover off, to me
that is the real issue.
