ARNING To reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock, fire, or personal injury when using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed. READ AND FOLLOW the specific DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE use.
CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following safety instructions: General Use: 11. Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in 1. Do not use regular cooking thermometers oven. Food or liquid could expand quickly and in oven.
All safety information must be followed W ARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power. Models 180MWASS022 180MWASS035 Power Source Voltage AC 240/208 VAC...
INSTALLATION & CLEANING ARNING Unpacking Oven • Inspect oven for damage such as dents in door or inside oven cavity. • Report any dents or breakage to source of purchase immediately. Do not attempt to use oven if damaged. o avoid risk of electrical shock or •...
Door and Door Switch Adjustments Primary Switch The Primary Switch found top center of oven. Its purpose is to inform the control board that the door is either in the open or closed position. To Access: 1. Unplug the oven and remove the outer case. 2.

Right Side The right side switches are protected by the F2 fuse and are part of the two bottom high voltage transformer circuits (T3 bottom right & T4 bottom left). If not adjusted properly the symptoms would be low heat (blown F2 fuse or incomplete circuit to the bottom transformers).
Service Test Mode HIDDEN PAD MSO Units have an easily accessed Service Mode that allows a technician to operate components, clear service alarms, check door cycles, and check magnetron hours. To enter the Service Mode, perform the following: PRESS and RELEASE the Hidden Pad PRESS and RELEASE In Order: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
Performance Testing Power Test All Solwave microwave oven power outputs are rated using the IEC705 standards. Using the IEC705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment that is not practical to be performed in the field. Using the test shown below will indicate if the oven performance is satisfactory.
