Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches (5) Evidence of dropping or abuse. (c) Before turning on power to the microwave oven for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity, and connections.
No grease, soil or spatter should be allowed to build up on these surfaces or inside the oven. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. The microwave oven has concealed switches to make sure the power is turned off when the door is opened. Do not attempt to defeat them.

5. Power supply Check your local power source. This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 3 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet. 1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or trippping over a longer cord.
OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS 1. Connect the main lead to an electrical outlet. 2. After placing the food in a suitable container, open the oven door and put it on the glass tray. The glass tray must always be in place during cooking. 3.
- Cautions to be observed when trouble shooting. Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage, high-current equipment. It is completely safe during normal operation. However, carelessness in servicing the oven can result in an electric shock or possible danger from a short circuit.

INTERLOCK MECHANISM AND ADJUSTMENT The door lock mechanism is a device which has been specially designed to completely eliminate microwave radiation when the door is opened during operation, and thus to perfectly prevent the danger resulting from the leakage of microwave. (1) Primary interlock switch When the door is closed, the hook locks the oven door.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Following the procedure below to check if the oven is defective or not. 1) Check grounding before trouble checking. 2) Be careful of the high voltage circuit. 3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor. 4) When checking the continuity of the switches, fuse or high voltage tranformer, disconnect one load wire from these parts and check continuity with the AC plug removed.

(TROUBLE 4) The following visual conditions inditions indicate a probable defective touch control circuit or membrane switch assembly 1. Incomplete segments, 1) Segments missing. 2) Partical segments missing. 3) Digit flickering other than normal display slight flickering. 4) " :0" does not display when power is on. 2.
PROCEDURE 1. Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of 100 2. The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. MICROWAVE RADIATION TEST CAUTION 1. Make sure to check the microwave leakage before and after repair of adjustment. 2. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from microwave energy. 3. Do not place your hands into any suspected microwave radiation field unless the safe density level is known. 4.
3. COMPONENT TEST PROCEDURE High voltage is present at the high voltage terminal of the high voltage transformer during any cooking cycle. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the high voltage. Before touching any oven components or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the capacitor.
PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD 1. CIRCUIT CHECK PROCEDURE 1. Low voltage transformer check The low voltage transformer is located on the P.C.B. Measuring condition: Input voltage: 120V / Frequency: 60Hz Terminal Voltage NOTE 1. Refer to Ciruit Diagram (point 4). 2. Secondary side voltage of the low voltage transformer changes in proportion to fluctuation of power source voltage.
