ABSTRACT:
An arrangement for illuminating the interior of a microwave oven cavity comprises a lamp (21) mounted in a lamp holder (19, 20) which is disposed outside the oven cavity behind a window in a cavity wall (10). The lamp holder (19, 20) is arranged axially within an electrically conductive sleeve (12) mounted on the outside of the cavity wall (10) and connected to cavity wall parts surrounding an aperture (11) in the cavity wall bounding the window so that the lamp (21) is axially arranged within the sleeve (12). The sleeve (12) constitutes a waveguide having the aperture (11) as input and having a cut-off wavelength smaller than the operating wavelength of the microwave oven, and the mounted lamp (21) has its filament (22) at a sufficient distance (H) from the aperture (11) for leaking microwave energy reaching the filament (22) to have been considerably attenuated. Microwave energy leakage is thereby substantially prevented both if the lamp (21) is mounted and if the lamp (21) is absent. The lamp (21) is readily accessible from the interior of the cavity for replacement.
