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
approvedmicrowavesurveymeter. (RefertoMicrowave
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
moisture, light or sensing of gentle warm air
movement around oven door is not abnormal and
do not of themselves indicate a leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity.
