Door Interlock Adjustment

17.1

Located on the door hinges are 3 safety interlock

microswitches, to prevent microwave emissions

escaping when the oven door is opened:
The Primary (SW3) breaks the electrical supply

circuit to the transformers.
The Secondary (SW2) breaks the microwave circuit if

the primary fails.
The Monitor switch (SW1) will short out the

Microwave circuit blowing the fuse if both Primary

and Secondary interlocks fail.
IMPORTANT: in the event that the Monitor

switch causes the Microwave circuit fuse to

blow, the Secondary (SW2) and Monitor (SW1)

microswitches must be replaced due to exposure

from high short-circuit currents.
The purpose of the following adjustment procedure

is to set the interlock to switch off the Microwave

circuit when the door is opened more than 4mm

and for the Microwave circuit to operate when the

door is closed and the door seal expands.

Door Interlock Adjustment procedure:

17.1.1

Disconnect and isolate the oven from the

17.1.2

electricity supply.

Allow the oven to cool down.

17.1.3

Remove the oven casing.

17.1.4

Ensure that the High Voltage Capacitor is

17.1.5

discharged before commencing work.

Position red 2mm spacers over the top corners

1

of the door seal and carefully close the door

ensuring the spacer is still in position.
Slacken the pivot screw.

2

Release the adjusting screws and move the

3

backplate until microswitch SW3 just activates

then secure all screws.
Open door to replace the red 2mm spacers with

4

green 4mm spacers and close the door.
Slacken the pivot screw.

5

Release the adjusting screws and move the

6

backplate until microswitch SW2 just activates

then secure all screws.
Remove the spacers, then open and close the

7

oven door 5-10 times.

IMPORTANT: CHECk THE SWITCHES OPERATE IN

THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE AS MICROSWITCH SW3

MUST SWITCH THE LOAD CURRENT.

Closing the door:

SW1 opens first

SW2 closes second

SW3 closes third

Opening the door:

SW3 opens first
