After Reassembly
1.Make sure that drawer sensing switch, third door
switch, secondary interlock switch and monitor
switch are operating properly.
2.An approved microwave survey meter should be used
to assure compliance with proper microwave radiation
emission limitation standards.
3.Drawer latch heads smoothly catch latch hook through
latch holes and latch head goes through center of latch
hole.
4.Deviation of door alignment from horizontal line of cav-
ity face plate is to be less than 1.0 mm.
5.Drawer is positioned with its face pressed toward cavi-
ty face plate.
NOTE:
The drawer 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 moisture, light or sensing of
gentle warm air movement around oven drawer is not
abnormal and do not of themselves indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity.
