the oven from the outlet and wait for at least 3 minutes.
When disassembling, service personnel should remove their watches and metal chains from
their hands. Never touch the high voltage components and wire.
Before checking or replacing, discharge the high voltage capacitor to oven chassis earthed with
an insulated wire. Make sure that the wire is earthed to chassis side before short circuiting the
capacitor terminal.
Do not measure high voltage with a common voltmeter.
