INTERLOCK MECHANISM AND ADJUSTMENT
The door lock mechanism is a device which has been specially designed to completely eliminate microwave radiation when
the door is opened during operation, and thus to perfectly prevent the danger resulting from the leakage of microwave.
(1) Primary interlock switch
When the door is closed, the hook locks the oven door. If the door is not closed properly, the oven will not operate.
When the door is closed, the hook pushes the button of the microswitch. Then the button of the primary interlock switch
bring it under “ON” condition.
(2) Secondary interlock switch and interlock monitor switch
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 mounting screw.
b) Adjust interlock switch assembly position.
Actuation distance of primary and secondary interlock switch shall be adjusted almost 0.7mm.
c) Make sure that lock lever moves smoothly after adjustment is completed.
d) Tighten completely a mounting screw.
