Abstract

A household microwave appliance includes a cooking chamber exposable to microwaves. A mode variation apparatus modifies a field distribution of the microwaves in the cooking chamber, and a microwave leakage sensor detects a microwave leakage radiation exiting from the cooking chamber. The household microwave appliance is designed to vary setting values of the mode variation apparatus, and to set an operating point of the mode variation apparatus based on a quantity of measurement data of the detected microwave leakage radiation resulting from a variation.
