ImPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Before touching any oven component or wiring,
always unplug the oven from its power
source and discharge the capacitor by using a
20,000 ohm discharge resistor or use an insulat-
ed plastic handle screwdriver to short across
the capacitor terminals.
Check that the unit is grounded before trouble-
shooting. Discharge any static charge from your
body by touching ground before handling any part
of the circuitry on the control board. Electrostatic
discharge may damage the control circuit.
Do not touch oven components or wiring during
operation. Attach meter leads with alligator
clips when making operational tests.
For continued protection against radiation
emission, replace only with these types of
switches: Primary (Interlock) Switch: SZM-V16-
FA-63 or VP-533A-OF; Secondary (Interlock)
Switch: SZM-V01-FA-32; Interlock (Monitor)
Switch: SZM-VI6-FA-62 or VP-532A-OF; Oven
Lamp Switch: SZM-V6-FA-31 or VP-331 AOD.
It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt
measurement of high voltage.
Attaching the adaptor ground terminal to the
wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal
and not insulated and the wall receptacle is
grounded through the house wiring.

ImPORTANT SAFETY INFORmATION

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD) SENSITIVE ELECTRONIC
ESD problems are present everywhere. ESD
may damage or weaken the electronic control
assembly. The new control assembly
may appear to work well after repair is finished,
but failure may occur at a later date
due to ESD stress.
• Use an antistatic wrist strap. Connect
the wrist strap to a green ground connection
point or unpainted metal in the
appliance; or touch your finger repeatedly
to a green ground connection point
or unpainted metal in the appliance.
• Before removing the part from its package,
touch the antistatic bag to a green
ground connection point or unpainted
metal in the appliance.
• Avoid touching electronic parts or terminal
contacts. Handle the electronic
control assembly by the edges only.
