the door is opened during operation, and thus to perfectly prevent the danger resulting from the leakage of microwave.

When the door is closed, the hook pushes the lock lever downward. The lock lever presses the button of the interlock
monitor switch to bring it under OFF condition and presses the button of the secondary interlock switch to bring it under
ON condition.
(3) Adjustment steps
a) Loosen the one mounting screw.
b) Adjust interlock switch assembly position.
c) Make sure that lock lever moves smoothly after adjustment is completed.
