!
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury or death, make
sure these grounding instructions are followed.
Grounding Instructions
!
WARNING
Do not remove grounding prong when installing
grounded appliance in a home or business that does
not have three wire grounding receptacle. Under no
condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed.
It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to
contact a qualified electrician and have a properly
grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in
accordance with appropriate electrical codes
Servicing of Grounded Products
The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires
is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These
ground leads are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. It is extremely important that the technician
replace any and all grounds prior to completion of the
service call. Under no condition should ground wire be
left off causing a potential hazard to technicians and
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.
Read the following information to avoid possible
exposure to microwave radiation:
The basic design of the Maytag 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.Tell the user not to operate the oven.
B.Contact Maytag 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 , capacitor , 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. IMPORTANT: 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 81 10B,
Holaday HI-1501, HI-1510, and HI-1710 leakage
monitor as outlined in the instructions. The
maximum leakage level allowed is 4mW/cm
13.If servicer encounters an emission reading over
4mw/cm2 the servicer is to cease repair and contact
the Maytag Service Department immediately for
further direction. Maytag will contact 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 Maytag
immediately . After repairing 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.
• To 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.
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.
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 taken 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 After
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.
Please read the owner’s manual information. It will tell
how to use all the features of this microwave oven.
