1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following pre-
cautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have
extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electric-
ity charge in clothes, etc., and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap
them in aluminium foil. Also wrap PW boards con-
taining them in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in
the figure and use grounded soldering iron and
work table.

3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so.
To perform the servicing, power to the touch control
panel is available either from the power line of the oven
or from an external power source.
(1) Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply of the oven :
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD .
Therefore, when checking the performance of the
touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on the
oven to avoid touching the high voltage trans-
former, or unplug the primary terminal (connector)
of the high voltage transformer to turn it off; the end
of such connector must be insulated with an insulat-
ing tape. After servicing, be sure to replace the
leads to their original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord be-
tween the touch control panel and the oven itself
is so short that the two can't be separated.

For those models, check and repair all the
controls (sensor-related ones included) of the
touch control panel while keeping it connected
to the oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord be-
tween the touch control panel and the oven is
long enough that they may be separated from
each other. For those models, therefore, it is
possible to check and repair the controls of the
touch control panel while keeping it apart from
the oven; in this case you must short both ends
of the door sensing switch (on PWB) of the touch
control panel with a jumper wire, which brings
about an operational state that is equivalent to
the oven door being closed. As for the sensor-
related controls of the touch control panel,
checking them is possible if the dummy resistor(s)
with resistance equal to that of the controls are
used.
(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from
the oven, and short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel, which
brings about an operational state that is equivalent
to the oven door being closed. Connect an external
power source to the power input terminal of the
touch control panel, then it is possible to check and
repair the controls of the touch control panel; it is
also possible to check the sensor-related controls
of the touch control panel by using the dummy
resistor(s).
4. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel as-
sembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC -
10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
5. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control
unit, remove the aluminium foil applied for prevent-
ing static electricity.
2) Connect the connector of the key unit to the control
unit being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that
abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not
applied to the input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to
PWB, making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.
