CAUTIONS
Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage and high-current equipment. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair.
•DO NOT operate on a 2-wire extension cord during repair and use.
•NEVER TOUCH any oven components or wiring during operation.
•BEFORE TOUCHING any parts of the oven, always remove the power plug from the outlet.
•For about 30 seconds after the oven stops, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When replacing or checking, you must discharge the high voltage capacitor by shorting across the two terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
•Remove your watches whenever working close to or replacing the Magnetron.
•DO NOT touch any parts of the control panel circuit. A resulting static electric discharge may damage this P.C.B.
•NEVER operate the oven with no load.
•NEVER injure the door seal and front plate of the oven cavity.
•NEVER put iron tools on the magnetron.
•NEVER put anything into the latch hole and the interlock switches area.
MICROWAVE RADIATION
Personnel should not be exposed to the microwave energy which may radiate from the magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connection. All input and output microwave connections, waveguide, flange, and gasket must be secure never operate the device without a microwave energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna while the device is energized.
•Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.
•Be sure that the magnetron gasket is properly installed around the dome of the tube whenever installing the magnetron.

B.TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE SERVICING.
(1)Before the power is applied:
(a)Make sure the primary interlock switch, the secondary interlock switch and the interlock monitor switch operate properly by opening and closing the door several by opening and closing the door several times.
(b)Make sure the perforated screen and the dielectric choke of the door are correctly and firmly mounted.
(2)After power is applied:
(a)Make sure the interlock switch mechanism is operating properly by opening and closing the door.
(b)Check microwave energy leakage must bebelow the limit of 5 mW/cm2.
(All service adjustments should be made for minimum microwave energy leakage readings).
(3)Do not operate the unit until it is completely repaired, if any of the following conditions exist. The unit must not be operated.
(a)The door does not close firmly.
(b)The hinge is broken.
(c)The door seal is damaged.
(d)The door is bent or warped, or there is any other visible damage on the unit that may cause microwave energy leakage.
NOTE: Always keep the seal clean.
(e)Make sure that there are no defective parts in the interlock mechanism.
(f)Make sure that there are no detective parts
in the microwave generating and transmission assembly (especially waveguide).
(4)The following items should be checked after the unit is repaired:
(a)The interlock monitor switch is connected correctly and firmly.
(b)The magnetron gasket is properly positioned and mounted.
(c)The waveguide and the oven cavity are intact. (no microwave energy leakage)

MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST
CAUTIONS
•Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing.
•The service personnel should inform the manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5 mW/cm2 and should repair any unit found to have excessive emission levels at no cost to the owner and should ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage. The service personnel should instruct the owner not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
•If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
•The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave leakage.
•Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed
4 mW/cm2. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.
