WARNING
Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:
The basic design of the Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service.
However,therearesomeprecautionswhichshouldbefollowedwhenservicingthemicrowavetomaintainthis
safety. These are asfollows:
1.
Always operate the unit from an adequately
groundedoutlet. Donotoperateonatwo-wire

If the oven operates with the door open and

steps:
A.
Telltheusernottooperate theoven.
B.
ContactACPComServimmediately.
5.
Alwayshavetheovendisconnectedwhentheouter
case is removed except when making the "live"
tests called for in the Service Manual. Do not
reach into the equipment area while the unit is
energized. Makeallconnectionsforthetestand
checkthemfortightnessbeforepluggingthecord
into theoutlet.
6.
Alwaysgroundthecapacitorsonthemagnetron
filter box with an insulated-handle screwdriver
before working in the high voltage area of the
equipmentcompartment. Sometypesoffailures
will leave a charge in these capacitors and the
