Abstract
A door seal for a microwave oven wherein the distance between the choking structure in the door and a substantially planar surface around the periphery of the access opening can be independently adjusted at a plurality of locations around the periphery. The door which is flexible is connected to a rigid door support structure by a plurality of bolts around the periphery of the door. The distance between the door and its support structure can be independently varied at each bolt to conform the contour of the door to the substantially planar surface against which it closes. Accordingly, the choke gap can be optimized around the periphery of the door. The support structure is movable in a vertical plane to open and close the door.
