Precautions to be observed before and during
servicing to avoid possible exposure to excessive
microwave energy.
(A) Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with
the door open.
(B) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be
serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as
necessary:
• Interlock operation
• Proper door closing
• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and
other damage)
• Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches
• Evidence of dropping or abuse
(C) Before turning on microwave power 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.
(D) Any defective or misadjusted components in the
interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave
generation and transmission systems shall be
repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures
described in this manual before oven is released to
the consumer.

WIRING
Good service practice is to never route wiring over
terminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring
without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire insulation
material and thickness is designed and regulated for
electrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always be
relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions,
which can occur during servicing.
