Abstract
A microwave oven includes a power cut-off safety switch which automatically cuts-off the supply of electric power to the oven if a housing panel is removed while the electric power supply cord is still plugged in. The switch is engaged by an extension of the housing panel which extends through a guide hole formed by another housing panel. The guide hole can have a non-planar shape to resist efforts to insert objects through the guide hole.
