MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE
REMOVED
When you replace the magnetron, measure for
microwave energy leakage before the outer case is
installed and after all necessary components are
replaced or adjusted.
Special care should be taken in measuring the
following parts. (Circled area of below Fig.)
- Around the magnetron
- The waveguide
WARNING : AVOID CONTACTING ANY
HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS
MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY
ASSEMBLED OVEN
After all components, including the outer case, are fully
assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage
around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening,
and air inlet openings.
Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values
prescribed below.
NOTE: Leakage with the outer case removedless than
5 mW/cm 2 .sq. Leakage for a fully assembled
oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is
interrupted) with the door in a slightly opened
position-less than 2 mW/cm .sq.

NOTES WHEN MEASURING
Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
The test probe must be removed no faster than
1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area,
otherwise a false reading may result.
The test probe must be held with the grip portion of the
handle.
A false reading may result if the operator's hand is
between the handle and the probe.
When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe
perpendicular to the surface making sure the probe
horizontally along the oven surface, this may possibly
cause probe damage.
RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION
AFTER MEASUREMENT
After adjustment and repair of any microwave energy
interruption or microwave energy blocking device,
record the measured values for future reference. Also
enter the information on the service invoice.
The microwave energy leakage should not be more
than 4 mW/cm 2 .sq. after determining that all parts are
in good condition, functioning properly and genuine
replacement parts which are listed in this manual have
been used.
At least once a year, have the electromagnetic energy
leakage monitor checked for calibration by its
manufacturer.
