SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This device is to be serviced only by properly qualified service personnel.
Consult the Service Manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to
be taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED
BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
A) Do not operate or allow the 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; (1) Interlock operation, (2) proper door closing,
(3) 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 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
the oven is released to the owner.
E) A microwave leakage check should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.
CAUTION DO NOT BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM THE MICROWAVE

operate normally.
2. After replacing the door, check for microwave energy
leakage with a survey meter. Microwave energy must be
below the limit of 4 mW/cm2. (with a 275 ml water load)
3. When mounting the door assembly to the oven
assembly, be sure to adjust the door assembly parallel to
the chassis. Also adjust so the door has no play between
the inner door surface and oven frame assembly. If the
door assembly is not mounted properly, microwaves may
leak from the clearance between the door and the oven.

Trouble Shooting Guide
CAUTIONS
1. Check grounding before checking for other trouble.
2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.
3. When checking the continuity of the switches or transformer, disconnect one lead wire from these parts and
then check continuity without turning the power source on.
4. Do not touch any part of the circuitry on the control circuit board, since static electric discharge may damage
this control circuit.
Always touch yourself to ground while working on this circuit to discharge any static charge built up in your
body.
5. First operate the microwave oven following the correct operating.
6. If the oven become inoperative because of a fuse, check the primary, the secondary and the monitor switches
before replacing the fuse.
