Abstract
A door for preventing leakage of electromagnetic wave of a microwave oven includes: a front panel forming a front surface of a door; a first contact surface expanded from the circumference of the front panel and recessed forward a cavity of the microwave oven so as to contact an entrance of the cavity; a door frame portion expanded from the circumference of the first contact surface and proceeding to the front surface of the door so as to form a frame of the door; a second contact surface expanded from the circumference of the door frame portion and recessed toward the cavity so as to contact a frame of the cavity entrance; a choke cavity formed between the door frame and the second contact surface; and a slit formed on the circumference of the door frame in a predetermined interval and expanded into the choke cavity in a predetermined length. Thus, leakage of the electromagnetic wave can be prevented due to the slit shape of a predetermined period. Also, various designs can be provided by making the door panel to be attached of detached to/from the door frame.
