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
