Servicing safeguards
Caution: MICROWAVE RADIATION
1. The high voltage capacitor remains charge after disconnection; short the negative terminal of H. V capacitor
to the oven chassis (use a screwdriver) to discharge before touching.
2. During servicing below listed parts are liable to be removed and give access to potentials above 250V to
earth.
- Magnetron
- High voltage transformer
- High voltage capacitor
- High voltage diode
- High voltage fuse
3. The following conditions may cause undue microwave exposure during servicing.
Improper setting of magnetron;
Improper matching of door interlock, door hinge and door;
Improper setting of switch support;
Door, door seal or enclosure has been damaged.
Place thicker areas towards outside of dish, the thinner part towards the
