Grill, Convection And Microwave Duty Cycles 8. Cautions to Be Observed When Troubleshooting Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is a high voltage, high current is device. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair. Caution Servicemen should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron.

Figure 1 HV Inverter warning WARNING FOR INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U) GROUNDING Check the high voltage inverter power supply circuit grounding. This high voltage inverter power supply circuit board must have a proper chassis ground, the inverter grounding bracket must be connected to the chassis.
Page 16
Discharging the high voltage capacitors WARNING There is high voltage present with high current capabilities in the circuits of the primary and secondary windings, choke coil and heat sink of the inverter. It is extremely dangerous to work on or near these circuits with the oven energized.
8.5. Avoid inserting nails, wire etc. through any holes in the unit during operation. Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal object through the lamp holes on the cavity or any holes or gaps, because such objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave leakage. 8.6.

9.1. Magnetron 1. Discharge the high voltage capacitors on the inverter circuit. 2. Remove the screw holding the air guide 3. Remove the two screws holding the tie bar 4. Remove the oven lamp and lead wire harness cables form the air guide A.
Page 19
5. Remove the connector CN701 and CN702 from the inverter PCB 6. Remove the two screws holding the inverter base to the chassis (See figure 2) 7. Carefully remove the inverter PCB and support base from the oven. 8. Remove the air guide E by un-clipping the catch hooks 9.

Disconnecting the PCB lock connector 9.3. Digital Programmer Circuit (DPC) and membrane key board. NOTE: Ground any static electric built up on your body before handling the DPC. 1. Disconnect all connectors from the DPC. 2. Remove the two screws holding the escutcheon base and slide the escutcheon base upward slightly.
Page 21
3. When replacing the stainless escutcheon sheet ensure that the escutcheon sheet is earthed to the back-plate via the earth spring.

instructions below for proper installation and adjustment so as to prevent excessive microwave leakage. 1. When mounting the door to the oven, be sure to adjust the door parallel to the bottom line of the oven face plate by moving the upper hinge in the direction necessary for proper alignment.
3. Remove the turntable motor by removing the two screws Note: After breaking off the motor cover, make sure that cut-off portions are properly trimmed off or bent inside so that no sharp edges are exposed. Note: To secure the motor cover use a 4 x 6 screw. Figure 9 Removing the turntable motor cover Figure 10...

Caution 1. High voltage is present at the high voltage terminal of the inverter unit, including the aluminium heat sink. 2. It is not necessary or advisable to attempt to measure this high voltage. 3. Before touching any oven components, or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the high voltage capacitors.
Continuity checks can only indicate an open filament or a shorted magnetron. To diagnose an open filament or shorted magnetron. 1. Isolate the magnetron from the circuit by disconnecting the HV leads 2. A continuity check across the magnetron filament terminals should indicate one ohm or less 3.
Figure 3 10.6. Inverter Power Supply Unit Warning Do not attempt to make any measurements in the high voltage circuitry of the inverter or magnetron. See troubleshooting of the inverter circuit and magnetron on Figure 4 to determine if the inverter power supply is still functioning.

ability to hold the switches. - Refer to the schematic and wiring diagram to ensure proper connection 11.1. Installation of primary latch switch, secondary latch switch and short switch. 1. When mounting the primary latch switch, secondary latch switch and short switch to the door hook assembly. Follow the instructions in figure 1.
4. The normal temperature rise at the high power position for each model is shown in the table. (Figure 2) Figure 1 Adjustment of latch switch assembly RATED OUTPUT TEMPERATURE RISE 1000W 8°C 12. Troubleshooting guide Caution 1. Do not try to repair this H.V. Inverter power supply. Replace as a whole unit.
Page 32
6. When checking the continuity of the switches on the H.V. inverter, disconnect one lead wire from these parts and then check the continuity with the AC plug removed. To do otherwise may result in a false reading or damage to your meter. When disconnecting a plastic connector from a terminal, you must hold the plastic connector and not the lead wire, otherwise the lead wire may become open circuit.
