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.

earthed three prong wall receptacle installed in
accordance with appropriate electrical codes.
Should a two prong adapter plug be required temporarily it
is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with properly earthed three prong receptacle or
the two prong adapter properly earthed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with appropriate electrical codes.
Servicing of Earthed Products
The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires
is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These
earth leads are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. It is extremely important that the technician
replace any and all earths prior to completion of the
service call. Under no condition should earth wire be left
off causing a potential hazard to technicians and
