(Operate the unit)

• When you replace the magnetron, measure for

microwave energy leakage before the outer case is
installed and after all necessary components are
replaced or adjusted.

Special care should be taken in measuring the

following parts. (Circled area of below Fig.)

- Around the magnetron
- The waveguide

• After all components, including the outer case, are fully

assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage
around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening,
and air inlet openings.

• Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values

prescribed below.

NOTE: Leakage with the outer case removedless than

5 mW/cm.sq. Leakage for a fully assembled
oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is
interrupted) with the door in a slightly opened
position-less than 2 mW/cm.sq.

• Do not  exceed meter full scale deflection.
• The test probe must be removed no faster than  

1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area,
otherwise a false reading may result.

• The test probe must be held with the grip portion of the

handle.

A false reading may result if the operator's hand is

between the handle and the probe.

• When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe

perpendicular to the surface making sure the probe
horizontally along the oven surface, this may possibly
cause probe damage.

• After adjustment and repair of any microwave energy

interruption or microwave energy blocking device,
record the measured values for future reference. Also
enter the information on the service invoice.

• The microwave energy leakage should not be more

than 4 mW/cm.sq. after determining that all parts are in
good condition, functioning properly and genuine
replacement parts which are listed in this manual have
been used.

• At least once a year, have the electromagnetic energy

leakage monitor checked for calibration by its
manufacturer.
