ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A sliding latch mechanism for the door of a heated cavity, such as a microwave oven that is provided with a pyrolytic self-cleaning oven cycle. This latch mechanism has a handle with only two positions; namely, a first unlatched position and a second latched position. The second latched position has two separate modes or functions; namely, an unlocked function and a locked function. The first unlatched position of the handle may be considered as providing an unlatched function. This first unlatched position of the handle is used for opening the door when needed, or when cooking within the oven with standard radiant heating means. The second latched position of the handle in its unlocked mode is used for microwave cooking alone or for combined microwave and radiant cooking. The second latched position of the handle in its locked mode is used during the pyrolytic self-cleaning oven cycle when the oven door should not be opened or capable of being opened when the oven temperature is above normal cooking temperatures in the self-cleaning temperature range.
