NEVER run a microwave with out the cover and after the cover has been replace it needs to be tested for microwave leaks.

However, keep in mind that the outer cover is the second line of defense.
Unless the magnetron has been removed and improperly replaced, there should be insignificant microwave leakage even with the sheet metal cover removed.
