If the 1st. latch switch, 2nd. latch switch, stop switch and
monitor switch do not operate properly due to a
misadjustment, the following adjustment should be made.
1. Loosen the two (2) screws holding latch hook to the

oven cavity front flange.

2. With door closed, adjust latch hook by moving it back

and forth, and up and down. In and out play of the door
allowed by the upper and lower position of the latch
hook should be less than 0.5mm. The vertical position
of the latch hook should be adjusted so that the 1st.
latch switch and stop switch are activated with the door
closed. The horizontal position of the latch hook should
be adjusted so that the plunger of the monitor switch
and 2nd. latch switch are pressed with the door closed.

activated with the door closed, loosen screw and adjust
the latch hook position.

1. In and out play of door remains less than 0.5mm when

in the latched position. First check upper position of
latch hook, pushing and pulling upper portion of door
toward the oven face. Then check lower portion of the
latch hook, pushing and pulling lower portion of the

door toward the oven face. Both results (play in the
door) should be less than 0.5mm.

2. The contacts of the 1st. latch switch and stop switch

open within 0.9mm gap between right side of cavity
face plate and door when the door is open.

4. The 2nd. latch switch contacts open when the door is

opened.
