Contact with the following parts may result in a severe, possibly fatal, Don't Touch! electrical shock. Danger High High Voltage Circuit, that includes High Voltage Capacitor, Voltage High Voltage Power Transformer, High Voltage Rectifier, Heat sink etc., and Magnetron, High Voltage Harness etc..
Section 1 Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (USA) A. Requirements: 1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
Section 1 Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (Canada) After adjustment of the door switches are completed individually or collectively, switch test and microwave leakage test must be performed with survey instrument and test result must be confirmed to meet the requirement of the performance standard for microwave ovens as under mentioned.
Section 1 Basic Information Grounding Instructions 3-Pronged Plug Grounded Receptacle Box This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
