6.6. Door Adjustment
The LAC-8 utilizes a robust spring-loaded latch mechanism for securing the door against the seal.
To optimize the user experience, and protect the contents of the oven, it is recommended the oven
be secured to the table/bench on which it is placed. This can be accomplished by installing a
fastener through the rear horizontal flange to the mounting surface. Alternately the shipping
straps (straps engaged through the four oven feet and that secured the oven to the shipping pallet)
can be used.

To increase or decrease latch tension slightly, or to gain a better door seal on the latch side:
Turn the door strike in or out on its threads by loosening the Allen head set screw.
If necessary, adjust the vertical alignment of the strike to increase or decrease latch tension.
1. Loosen the two screws on the latch strike and sliding the strike up or down on its slots.
2. After positioning the strike, tighten the screws.
If more robust tension is desired for the door actuation, the latch is modifiable by removing from
the oven body and replacing with heavier springs. These parts are available on the service page
of the Despatch website indicated below.
