Abstract
The invention is directed to an oven, and in particular, a microwave oven, having an oven cavity, two doors disposed on opposite sides of the oven cavity, and a conveyor belt passing through the oven cavity and the two doors. The two doors are preferably mechanical in design and may be operated simultaneously or in sequence. The two doors may be independently interlocked and also interlocked with each other to prevent operation of the microwave oven when either door is in an opened position. Each door may be mounted in slide rails disposed along the side of the oven cavity. The opening and closing of the two doors are preferably controlled by a programmable logic center.
