COMPONENT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts may
result in severe, possibly fatal, electric shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, Power Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier Assembly, High Voltage Harness
etc..
WARNING: Avoid possible exposure to microwave energy. Please follow the instructions below before operat-
ing the oven.
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Make sure that a definite" click" can be heard when
the microwave oven door is unlatched. (Hold the door
in a closed position with one hand, then push the door
open button with the other, this causes the latch leads
to rise, it is then possible to hear a "click' as the door
switches operate.)

(dents, cracks, signs of arcing etc.).
Carry out any remedial work that is necessary before
operating the oven.
Do not operate the oven if any of the following conditions
exist;
To prevent an electric shock, take the following pre-
cautions.
1. Before wiring,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door block it open.
3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor and wait for 60
seconds.
2. Don't let the wire leads touch to the followiong parts;
1) High voltage parts:
Magnetron, High voltage transformer, High voltage
capacitor and High voltage rectifier assembly.
2) Hot parts:
Oven lamp, Magnetron, High voltage transformer and
Oven cavity.
Please refer to 'OVEN PARTS, CABINET PARTS, CONTROL PANAL PARTS, DOOR PARTS', when carrying out any of
the following removal procedures:
THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS OR COMPONENT REPLACEMENT CAN BE PERFORMED
1. Hood lamps, sockets, grease filter and charcoal filter.
2. Base cover and hood lamp glass assembly.
3. Turntable motor.
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. To discharge the high voltage capacitor, wait for 60
