By guiding a door proper,by using a cam groove, a seal member,bonded to the door proper,is pressed against a contacting member,only when the door proper,assumes its close position. Smoothed operation of the door proper,is achieved with a compact construction of a unit, and sealing and temperature controlling performance is increased.
