The level of output from the inverter circuit is power level and the cooking time and indicates the controlled by a pulse width modulated signal from the operating state in the display.
8 Cautions to be Observed when Troubleshooting The microwave oven is a high voltage, high current This high voltage inverter power supply supplies very device. Although it is free from danger in ordinary use, high voltage and current to the magnetron. Though it extreme care should be taken during repair.

When the appliance is operated with the door hinges or magnetron fixed incorrectly, the microwave leakage can reach more than 5mW/cm . After repair or replac- ing parts, it is very important to check if the magnetron and the door hinges are correctly fixed. 8.7 Sharp edges Please use caution when unpacking, installing or mov- ing the unit, as some exposed edges may be sharp to...

12 Troubleshooting Guide Caution 1. Do not try to repair the H.V. Inverter power supply. Replace the inverter circuit board as a complete unit. 2. Do not adjust the preset volume on the Inverter. It is very dangerous to repair or adjust without special test equiptment, the inverter handles very high voltage and current.
