2. Deviation of the door alignment from horizontal line of
cavity face plate is to be less than 1.0mm.
3. The door is positioned with its face depressed toward
the cavity face plate.
4. Re-install outer case and check for microwave leakage
around door with an approved microwave survey me-
ter. (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 oven cavity during cook
cycle. This function does not require that door be
air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight or light-
tight. Therefore, occasional appearance of mois-
ture, light or sensing of gentle warm air movement
around oven door is not abnormal and do not of
themselves, indicate a leakage of microwave en-
ergy from oven cavity. If such were the case, your
oven could not be equipped with a vent, the very
purpose of which is to exhaust the vapor-laden air
from the oven cavity.
CHOKE COVER REMOVAL
1. Open the door and insert a putty knife (thickness of
about 0.5mm) in gap between the choke cover and
corner portion of door panel to free engaging parts.
Refer to Fig. C-7.
NOTE: As the choke cover and door panel are engage at
16 places, do not force any perticular part.
2. Remove the choke cover carefully. (If choke cover is
broken, replace with a new one.)
3. Remove door assembly with upper and lower oven
hinges by pulling it forward.

sembly.
5. Now, door assembly is free.

1. Insert the upper and lower oven hinges into door hinge
pins.
2. Insert the upper and lower oven hinges with door
assembly into rectangular holes of oven cavity front
plate.
3. Make sure that the door is parallel with oven face lines
(left and upper side line) and door latch heads pass
through the latch holes correctly.
4. Fasten upper and lower oven hinges firmly to oven
cavity with two (2) screws on each hinge.
Note: After any service to the door;
(A) Make sure that interlock switches, stop switch
and monitor switches are operating properly.
(Refer to chapter "Test Procedures".).
(B) An approved microwave survey meter should be
used to assure compliance with proper micro-
wave radiation emission limitation standards.
DOOR ADJUSTMENT

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 upper and lower oven hinges with phillips head
screw driver.
2. Adjust the door by moving it vertically so that the top
right hand corner of the door is in line with the top of the
control panel frame assembly.
3. Tighten the upper and lower oven hinge screws.
After adjustment, make sure of the following:
1. Door latch heads smoothly catch the latch hook through
the latch holes, and the latch head goes through the
center of the latch hole.
