Section 1 Basic Information
Precautions To Be Observed Before And During Servicing To Avoid Possible Exposure To
Excessive Microwave Energy
1. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
2. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other micro
wave source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3) seal and
sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches,
(5) evidence of dropping or abuse.
3. Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity,
and connections.
4. Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and
transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the
oven is released to the owner.
5. A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be performed on
each oven prior to release to the owner.

Before Servicing

Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave Measurement
Procedure outlined in this service manual.
If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact ELECTROLUX HOME PRODUCTS, INC.
immediately.
If the unit operates with the door open, service person should:
1. Tell the user not to operate the oven.
2. Contact Electrolux HOME PRODUCTS, INC. and Food and Drug Administration's Center for Devices and
Radiological Health immediately.
Service personnel should inform ELECTROLUX HOME PRODUCTS, INC. of any certified unit found with emissions in
excess of 4mW/cm2. The owner of the unit should be instructed not to use the unit until the oven has been brought
into compliance.

Danger High Voltage

Do not energize a microwave oven with the outer case cabinet removed, because a microwave oven generates high
voltage in the circuit.
If you intend to operate the oven employing the high frequency switching power converter circuit, you should take
special precautions to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
The high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor and high voltage diode have energized high voltage potential
of approximately 8KV.
The aluminium heat sink is connected to the switching power transistor collector pole, and has an energized high
voltage potential of approximately 650V peak.
DO NOT ACCESS THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR, HIGH VOLTAGE DI-
ODE AND HEAT SINK WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL OUTLET.
