(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:

• Interlock operation

• Proper door closing

• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage)

• Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches

• Evidence of dropping or abuse

service test or inspection within the microwave generating compartments, check the magnetron, waveguide 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 oven is released to the consumer.

(E) Check microwave leakage to verify compliance

with the federal performance standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the consumer.

WIRING

Good service practice is to never route wiring over terminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any wiring without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire insulation material and thickness is designed and regulated for electrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always be relied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions, which can occur during servicing.

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury, or death, make sure these earthing instruction are followed.

Earthing Instructions

WA RNIN G

To avoid the risk of electrical shock or death, this equipment must be earthed.

WA R N IN G
