Choke Cover
Figure 4-7. Choke Cover
After any service to the door:
(A) Make sure that door sensing switch, primary
switch and secondary switch are operating
properly.
(B) An approved microwave survey meter should be
used to assure compliance with proper micro-
wave radiation emission limitation standards.
After any service, make sure of the following :
1. Door latch heads smoothly catch latch hook through
latch holes and that latch head goes through center
of latch hole.
2. Deviation of door alignment from horizontal line of
cavity face plate is to be less than 1.0mm.
3. Door is positioned with its face pressed toward cavity
face plate.
4. Check for microwave leakage around door with an
approved microwave survey meter.
(Refer to Microwave Measurement Procedure.)
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 moisture, light
or sensing of gentle warm air movement around
oven door is not abnormal and do not of them-
selves indicate a leakage of microwave energy from
oven cavity.
