CAUTION SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY a. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open. b. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as necessary;...
CAUTIONS Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is MICROWAVE RADIATION high-voltage and high-current equipment. Personnel should not be exposed to the Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, microwave energy which may radiate from the extreme care should be taken during repair. magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connection.
INSTALLATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION A. Plug the power supply cord into a 120V AC, 60Hz, single-phase power source with a capacity of 15A or 20A. B. Avoid placing the unit in a location where there is direct heat or splashing water.
CONTROL PANEL INSTRUCTIONS 1. DISPLAY: The Display includes a clock and indicators to 15. CUSTOM SET: Touch this pad to change the oven’s tell you time of day, cooking time settings and cooking default settings for clock set, sound, display speed and functions selected.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SERVICE GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. Operating the oven with no load may shorten the A. The safety systems incorporated in this model are: life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry foods (1) Primary interlock switch (dried fish, bread, etc.) or a small amount of food, (2) Secondary interlock switch...
SERVICE INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS AND REPAIR SERVICE TIPS PRELIMINARY (3) Do not operate the unit until it is completely A. SINCE NEARLY 2,100 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME repaired, if any of the following conditions exist. CIRCUITS OF THIS UNIT REPAIRS SHOULD BE The unit must not be operated.
MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST CAUTIONS MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE • Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to • Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a beaker servicing. which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker •...
MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE NOTE WHEN MEASURING (1) Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. REMOVED (2) The test probe must be moved no faster than (1) When you replace the magnetron, measure for 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec) along the shaded area, microwave energy leakage before the outer case otherwise a false reading may result.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTES: (4) Remove 3 screws securing the circuit board. UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ELEC- TRICAL OUTLET WHEN MAKING REPAIRS, RE- PLACEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTIN-UITY CHECKS. WAIT AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, UNTIL THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY HAS FULLY DISCHARGED.
