Electrical Shock Hazard
Connect green ground wire to ground
screw.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electrical shock.
Before touching any oven component or wir-
ing, always unplug the oven from its power
source and discharge the high voltage capaci-
tor (see page 4-12).
Check that the unit is grounded before trouble-
shooting. Be careful of the high voltage circuits.
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 A-OD.
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.
The microwave oven must be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing
an escape wire for the electrical current. The
microwave oven is equipped with a cord having
a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
microwave oven is properly grounded. Do not
use an extension cord. If the power supply cord
is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the micro-
wave oven.
