When the door release button is depressed slowly
with the door closed, an audible click should be
heard at the same time or successively at
intervals. When the button is released slowly, 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 a
adjusted in accordance with the adjustment
procedure. Disconnect the wire lead from the
primary switch. Connect the ohmmeter leads to
the common (COM) and normally open (NO)
terminal of the switch. The meter should indicate
an open  circuit in the door open condition.
When the door is closed, the meter should
indicate a closed circuit.
When the primary switch operation is abnormal,
make the necessary adjustment or replace the
switch only with the same type of switch.

Disconnect the wire lead from the secondary
switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally open (NO) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate a open circuit in
the door open condition. When the door is closed,
meter should indicate an closed circuit. When the
secondary switch operation is abnormal, make the
necessary adjustment or replace the switch only
with the same type of switch.

Disconnect the wire lead from the monitor switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally closed (NC) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate closed circuit in
the door open condition. When the door is closed,
meter should indicate an open circuit. When the
monitor switch operation is abnormal, replace with
the same type of switch.
NOTE: After repairing the door or the interlock
system, it is necessary to do this continuity
test before operating the oven.

1. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHENEVER REMOVING THE

OUTER CASE FROM THE UNIT. PROCEED WITH THE TEST ONLY AFTER DISCHARGING THE HIGH
VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE
HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. (SEE PAGE 2-1)

2. ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY MUST BE DONE WITH A LOAD (1 LITER

OF WATER IN CONTAINER) IN THE OVEN.

This device is to be serviced only by properly qualified service personnel.
Consult the service manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to be
taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave 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 as 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 microwave power 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.

DO NOT BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM THE MICROWAVE GENERATOR
OR OTHER PARTS CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY.
