CAUTIONS Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is MICROWAVE RADIATION high-voltage and high-current appliance. Personnel should not be exposed to the microwave Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, energy which may radiate from the magnetron or extreme care should be taken during repair. other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connected.
INSTALLATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. Installing microwave oven Earthing Instructions 1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with a This microwave oven is designed to be used in a fully soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as earthed condition.

SERVICE INFORMATION Tools and Measuring Instruments NECESSARY TOOLS NECESSARY MEASURING INSTRUMENTS Tools normally used for TV servicing are sufficient. Standard tools are listed below. • TESTER (VOLTS-DC, AC, Multmeter) • Diagonal pliers • Microwave survey meter • Long nose pliers —Holaday H1-1500, Hi-1501 •...
MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER NOTES WHEN MEASURING CASE REMOVED • Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. • When you replace the magnetron, measure microwave • The test probe must be removed no faster than, energy leakage before the out case is installed and 1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, after all necessary components are replaced or otherwise a false reading may result.
Measurement of Microwave Power Output • The microwave power output P in watts is calculated • Microwave power output measurement is made with from the following formula: the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with 4187 X (∆T) a load of (1000 ±...
