I realise it still has a heating effect, on the same basis as a microwave oven cooks food. As pointed out below, though, microwave ovens are set to target the O-H bond and maximise effectiveness - not the same purpose as these devices!

How close is close? 10"? No! 5ft? Maybe! 20ft? Yeah, probably. I think it's one of those things you've got to make a very personal decision on.
