• DO NOT operate on a 2-wire extension cord during

repair and use.

• NEVER TOUCH any oven components or wiring during

operation.

• BEFORE TOUCHING any parts of the oven, always

remove the power plug from the outlet.

• For about 30 seconds after the oven stops, an electric

charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When
replacing or checking, you must discharge the high
voltage capacitor by shorting across the two terminals
with an insulated screwdriver.

• Remove your watches whenever working close to or

replacing the Magnetron.

• DO NOT touch any parts of the control panel circuit. A

resulting static electric discharge may damage this
P.C.B.

• NEVER operate the oven with no load.
• NEVER injure the door seal and front plate of the oven

cavity.

• NEVER put iron tools on the magnetron.
• NEVER put anything into the latch hole and the

interlock switches area.

• 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.

1-1

Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is
high-voltage and high-current equipment.
Though it is free from danger in ordinary use,
extreme care should be taken during repair.

Personnel should not be exposed to the
microwave energy which may radiate from the
magnetron or other microwave generating
device if it is improperly used or connection.
All input and output microwave connections,
waveguide, flange and gasket must be secure
never operate the device without a microwave
energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna
while the device is energized.

1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with

a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as
misaligned door, damage around the door or dents
inside the cavity or on the exterior.

2. Put the oven on a counter, table, or shelf that is

strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control panel side of the
oven is the heavy side. Use care when handling.)

3. Do not block the vent and the air intake openings.

Blocking vent or air intake openings can cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to
ensure proper air flow.

4. The oven should not be installed in any area where

heat and steam are generated, because they may
damage the electronic or mechanical parts of the
unit.
Do not install the oven next to a conventional
surface unit or above a conventional wall oven.

5. Use microwave  oven in an ambient temperature

less than 104°F(40°C).

6. Place the microwave  oven on a sturdy and flat

surface at least 10 cm(4 inches) from the wall.

7. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible

from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent
interference.

This microwave oven is designed to be used in a fully
earthed condition.
It is imperative, therefore, to make sure it is properly
earthed before servicing

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 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.
