Door adjustment

When removing and/or loosening the oven hinges such as in door
replacement, the following adjustment criteria are taken.
Door adjustment is performed with the door properly installed and
closed and while the oven hinges are loose.
1. Loosen the screws holding the oven hinge right and the oven

hinge left to the bottom plate with screwdriver.

2. Adjust the door by moving it so that the door is parallel with the

oven cavity front plate lines (right and left side lines) and the
door latch heads pass through the latch holes correctly.

3. Tighten the screws holding the oven hinge right and the oven

hinge left to the bottom plate.

After adjustment, make sure of the following:
1. The door latch heads smoothly catch the latch hooks through

latch holes and the latch heads goes through center of latch
holes.

2. The door is positioned with its face pressed toward oven cavity

front plate.

3. Reinstall the outer case cabinet and check for microwave

leakage around the door with an approved microwave survey
meter. (Refer to Microwave Measurement Procedure.)

NOTE: The door on a microwave oven is designed to act as an

electronic seal preventing the leakage of microwave
energy from the oven cavity during cook cycle. This
function does not require that the door be airtight, moisture
(condensation)-tight or light-tight. Therefore, occasional
appearance of moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm
air movement around the oven door is not abnormal and
do not of themselves indicate a leakage of microwave
energy from the oven cavity. If such were the case, your
oven could not be equipped with a vent, the very purpose
of which is exhaust the vapor-laden air from the oven
cavity.
