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 to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be

performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

Nameplate Location

¥ 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.

¥ 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.

2-1

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.

THE OVEN IS TO BE SERVICED ONLY BY PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

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.

INSTALLATIONS

3-1

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).

EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS

This microwave oven is designed to be used in a fully earthed condition. It is imperative, therefore, to make sure it is properly earthed before servicing

WARNINGTHIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

IMPORTANT

The wires in this mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows.

6. Place the microwave oven on a sturdy and flat

surface at least 10 cm(4 inches) from the wall.

7. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible

from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent interference.

8. Do not touch the front glass during or after cooking

of the Grill and Combination mode. This glass is very hot during heater operating.

9. Do not operate the oven at microwave and

combination mode with Grill rack placed in the cavity when the oven is empty.

10cm

The wire which is colored green-and-yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol ( ) or colored green or green-and-yellow.
