BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT, READ THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS IN THIS MANUAL.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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 to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

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.
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.
ANTENNA
Gasket
• 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.

INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY.
INSTALLING
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as misaligned door, damage around the door or dents inside the cavity or on the exterior.
2. Put the oven on a counter, table, or shelf that is strong
enough to hold the oven and the food and utensils you put in it. (The control panel side of the oven is the heavy side. Use care when handling.)
3. Do not block the vent and the air intake openings.
Blocking vent or air intake openings can cause damage to the oven and poor cooking results. Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper air flow.
4. The oven should not be installed in any area where
heat and steam are generated, because they may damage the electronic or mechanical parts of the unit. Do not install the oven next to a conventional surface unit or above a conventional wall oven.
5. Use microwave oven in an ambient temperature less
than 104˚F(40˚C).
6. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible
from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent interference.
7. Place the microwave oven on a stardy and flat surface.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
For personal safety, this appliance must be fully grounded at all times.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third ground prong from the power cord plug.
PREFERRED METHOD
A
A
A
B
A - Allow at least 11/2 inches (3.81 centimeters) of
clearance around top and sides of equipment. Proper air flow around equipment cools electrical components. With restricted air flow, oven may not operate properly and life of electrical parts is reduced.
B - Allow at least 3 inches from door front to edge of
countertop to avoid accidental tipping of oven.
