Read the following information to avoid possible
exposure to microwave radiation:
The basic design of the Amana microwave oven makes it
an inherently safe device to both use and service.
However, there are some precautions which should be
followed when servicing the microwave oven to maintain
this safety . These are as follows:
1. Always operate the unit from an adequately grounded
outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord.
2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform
the microwave leakage test.
3. The oven should never be operated if the door does not
fit properly against the seal; the hinges or hinge
bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is
damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other visible
damage can be noted. Check the choke area to
ensure that this area is clean and free of all foreign
matter.
4. If the oven operates with the door open and produces
microwave energy , take the following steps.
A.T ell the user not to operate the oven.
B.Contact Maytag Appliances, Inc.
immediately.
5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outer
case is removed except when making the "live" tests
called for in the Service Manual. Do not reach into the
equipment area while the unit is energized. Make all
connections for the test and check them for tightness
before plugging the cord into the outlet.
6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron filter
box and H. V . Capacitor with an insulated-handle
screwdriver before working in the high voltage area of
the equipment compartment. Some types of failures
will leave a charge in these capacitors and the
discharge could cause a reflex action which could
make you injure yourself.
7. In the area of the transformer, cap acitor, diode, and
magnetron there is HIGH VOL T AGE. When the unit is
operating - keep this area clean and free of anything
which could possibly cause an arc or ground, etc.
8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlock switches–
there is no valid reason for this action at any time; nor
will it be condoned by Maytag.
9. IMPORT ANT : Before returning a microwave to a
customer, check for proper switch interlock action.
The primary and secondary switches MUST open
when the door is actuated. The monitor switch MUST
close at a 1/4 inch when the door is opened.
10.Before returning a microwave to a customer , verify the
door spacing is reasonably uniform along the top,
bottom, and sides and that it measures 1/8 inch or
less.
1 1.The Maytag microwave oven should never be operated
with:
• Any components removed and/or bypassed.
• Any of the safety interlocks are found to be failed.
• Any of the seal surfaces are defective, missing,
or damaged.
12.To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive
microwave leakage and to meet the Department of
Health Human Service guidelines, check the oven for
microwave leakage using Narda Model 8100, 8200,
Holaday HI1500, HI1501 or Simpson 380M leakage
monitor as outlined in the instructions. The maximum
leakage level allowed is 4mW/cm2.
13.If servicer encounters an emission reading over
4mw/cm2 the servicer is to cease repair and contact
the Amana Service Dep artment immediately for further
direction. Amana Appliances, Inc. will cont act the
proper Government Agency upon verification of the test
results.
Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the
leakage be more than 4mW/cm2 inform Amana
Appliances, Inc. immediately . After rep airing or
replacing any radiation safety device, keep a written
record for future reference, as required by DHHS and
HEW regulations. This requirement must be strictly
observed. In addition, the leakage reading must be
recorded on the service repair ticket while in the
customer’s home.
Equipment
• Electromagnetic radiation monitor
• 600 cc glass beaker
Procedure For Measuring Radiation
Leakage
Note before measuring -
• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leak monitor
should initially be set to the highest scale.
• T o prevent false readings, the test probe should be held
by the grip portion of the handle only .
• The scan speed is equal to one inch per antenna
revolution or one inch per second if antenna speed is
unknown.
• Areas to be checked are all door seal areas and any
venting parts.
• Leakage with the outer panel removed ...4mW/cm2 or
less.
• Leakage for fully assembled oven with door normally
closed ...4mW/cm2 or less.
• Leakage for a fully assembled oven (before the latch
switch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the door ...
4mW/cm2 or less.
Measurement With the Outer Panel
Removed
DANGER
!
Avoid contacting any high voltage components.
Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for
radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed and
after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted.
Special care should be t aken in measuring around the
magnetron.
Measurement With a Fully Assembled Oven
After all components, including the outer panel are fully
assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the
door periphery, the door viewing window , the exhaust
opening, and air inlet openings.
Record Keeping and Notification Af ter
Measurement
1. After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven, a
leakage reading must be taken. Record this leakage
reading on the repair ticket even if it is zero.
2. A copy of the repair ticket and the microwave leakage
reading should be kept by the repair facility .
1. Pour 275 ±15 cc (9 oz ±1/2 oz) of 20 ±5°C (68 ±9°F)
water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc and
place the beaker in the center of oven.
2. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use it
following the manufacturer’s recommended test
procedure to assure correct results.
3. While measuring the leakage, always use the 2–inch
(5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
4. Press the start pad or turn on the timer and with the
magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by
holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being
measured.
