PRECA UTIONS T O BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SER VICING T O AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE T O EXCESSIVE MICROW AVE 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 if 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 power to the microwave oven 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.

Manual for Proper Service Procedures to Assure Continued Safety Operation and for Precautions
to be Taken to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy.
1. FOR SAFE OPERATION
Damage that allows the microwave energy (that cooks or heats the food) to escape will result in poor cooking and
may cause serious bodily injury to the operator.
IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXIST, OPERATOR MUST NOT USE THE APPLIANCE.
(Only a trained service personnel should make repairs.)
1) A broken door hinge.
2) A broken door viewing screen.
3) A broken front panel, oven cavity.
4) A loosened door lock.
5) A broken door lock.
The door gasket plate and oven cavity surface should be kept clean.
No grease, soil or spatter should be allowed to build up on these surfaces or inside the oven.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. The microwave oven has
concealed switches to make sure the power is turned off when the door is opened. Do not attempt to defeat them.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE THIS APPLIANCE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THIS SERVICE MANUAL.
2. FOR SAFE SERVICE PROCEDURES
1) If the oven is operative prior to servicing, a microwave emission check should be performed prior to servicing
the oven.
2) If any certified oven unit is found to servicing, a microwave emission check should be performed prior to
servicing the oven.
(a) inform the manufacturer, importer or assembler,
(b) repair the unit at no cost to the owner,
(c) attempt to ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage,
(d) tell the owner of the unit not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
3) If the oven operates with the door open, the service person should tell the user not to operate the oven and
contact the manufacturer and CDRH immediately.

INSTALLATION
1. Steady, flat location.
This microwave oven should be set on a steady, flat surface.
2.Leave space behind and side.
All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may be overheated
and, eventually, cause oven failure.
3.A way from radio, and TV sets
Poor television reception and radio interference may result if the oven is located close to a TV, radio, antenna, or
feeder and so on. Position the oven as far from them as possible.
4.A way from heating appliances and water taps
Keep the oven away from hot air, steam or splash when choosing a place to position it, or the insulation might be
adversely affected and breakdowns occur.
5.Power suppl y
• Check your local power source.
This microwave oven requires a current of approximately 14.5 amperes, 120Volts, 60Hz grounded outlet.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or trippping over a
longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
2) The extension cord must be a grounding type 3-wire cord.
3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
6. Examine the oven after unpacking for any damage such as:
A misaligned door, broken door or a dent in cavity.
If any of the above are visible, DO NOT INSTALL, and notify dealer immediately.

OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS
1. Connect the main lead to an electrical outlet.
2. After placing the food in a suitable container, open the oven door and put it on the glass tray. The glass tray must
always be in place during cooking.
3. Close the door securely.
4.
The oven door can be opened at any time during operation by touching the door release button on the control panel.
The oven will automatically shut off. To restart the oven, close the door and then touch START.
5. Each time a pad is touched, a BEEP will sound to acknowledge the touch.
6. The oven automatically cook on full power unless set to a lower power level.
7. The display will show : 0 when the oven is plugged in.
8. Time clock returns to the present time when the cooking time ends.
9. When the STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during the oven operation, the oven stops cooking and all information
retained.
To erase all information (except the present time), touch the STOP/CLEAR pad once more. If the oven door is
opened during the oven operation, all information is retained.
10. If the START pad is touched and the oven does not operate, check the area between the door and door is closed
securely. The oven will not start cooking under the door is not completely closed or the program has not been set.

DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY
- Cautions to be observed when trouble shooting.
Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage, high-current equipment. It is completely safe
during normal operation. However, carelessness in servicing the oven can result in an electric shock or possible
danger from a short circuit. You are asked to observe the following precautions carefully.
1. Always remove the power plug from the outlet before servicing.
2. Use an insulated screwdriver and wear rubber gloves when servicing the high voltage side.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor before touching any oven components or wiring.
(1) Check the grounding.
Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord.
The microwave oven is designed to be used while grounded.
It is imperative, therefore, to make sure it is grounded
properly before beginning repair work.
(2) Warning about the electric charge in the high voltage capacitor.
For about 30 seconds after the operation has stopped, electric
charge remains in the high voltage capacitor.
When replacing or checking parts, short between oven chassis
and the negative high terminal of the high voltage capacitor by
using a properly insulated screwdriver to discharge.
4. When the 20A fuse is blown due to the operation of the monitor
switch; replace primary interlock switch, secondary interlock switch
and interlock monitor switch.
5. After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the screws are
properly tightened, and all electrical connections are tightened.
6. Do not operate without cabinet.
CAUTION : Service personnel should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron.
WARNING :When servicing the appliance, take care when touching or replacing high potential parts because of
electrical shock or exposing microwave. These parts are as follows - HV Transformer, Magnetron,
HV Capacitor, HV Diode.
