Abstract

The invention refers to a household microwave oven (1), comprising an oven cavity (4) for receiving cooking goods, a magnetron (6) for emitting microwaves, a waveguide (8) for guiding the microwaves from the magnetron (6) to the oven cavity (4), and a directional coupler (30) aligned at the waveguide (8) in a way to detect an amount of microwaves travelling through the waveguide (8) and to emit a coupler signal (C) based on the detection of the microwaves. Further, the microwave oven (1) comprises a controller (10) connected with the directional coupler (30) for signal transmission of the coupler signal (C) and indirectly with the magnetron (6) for operational control, wherein the controller (10) is configured to derive, during an operational state of the microwave oven (1), from the coupler signal (C) information about microwaves travelling through the waveguide (8) and to perform controlling of the operational state of the microwave oven (1) based on that information.
