Never look into an open waveguide or antenna while the device is energized. • Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION A. Plug the power supply cord into a 120V AC, 60Hz, single-phase power source with a capacity of 15A or 20A. B. Avoid placing the unit in a location where there is direct heat or splashing water.
18. HOLD WARM: Touch this pad to keep hot, cooked foods warm in your microwave oven for up to 99 minutes 99 seconds. 19. EZ-ON: Touch this pad to set and start quickly at 100% power level.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SERVICE GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. Operating the oven with no load may shorten the life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry foods (dried fish, bread, etc.) or a small amount of food, be sure to put a glass of water into the cooking compartment.
SERVICE INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS AND REPAIR SERVICE TIPS PRELIMINARY A. SINCE NEARLY 2,100 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME CIRCUITS OF THIS UNIT REPAIRS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH GREAT CARE. The filament leads of magnetron carry High Voltage with respect to ground. Extreme caution must be exercised.
• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 4 mW/cm . Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.
2 mW/cm POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT (1) Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water. (2) The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 1/8”...
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTES: UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ELEC- TRICAL OUTLET WHEN MAKING REPAIRS, RE- PLACEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTIN- UITY CHECKS. WAIT AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, UNTIL THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY HAS FULLY DISCHARGED.

TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE (5) Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch, the Secondary Switch. Release Rod and Lever on the switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence: - Primary Interlock Switch - Secondary Interlock Switch - Interlock Monitor Switch...
INTERLOCK CONTINUITY TEST A. PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST When the door is opened slowly, an audible click should be heard at the same time or successively at intervals and the latches should activate the switches with an audible click. If the latches do not activate the switches when the door is closed, the switches should be adjusted in accordance with the adjustment procedure.
