any
service
test
or
inspection
within
the

line,
and
cavity
for
proper
alignment,
integrity,
and
connections.
D)

?
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
stop,
an
electric
charge
remains
on
the
high
voltage
capacitor.
When
replacing
or
checking,
you
must
discharge
the
capacitor
by
shorting
across
the
two
terminals
with
an
insulated
screwdriver.
?
Remove
your
watches
whenever
working
close
to
or
replacing
the
Magnetron.
?
NEVER
operate
the
oven
with
no
load.
?
NEVER
damage
the
door
seal
or
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.
?
Be
sure
that
the
magnetron
gasket
is
properly
installed
around
the
dome
of
the
tube
whenever
installing
the
magnetron
.
2-1
CAUTIONS
Unlike
other
appliances,
the
microwave
oven
is
high-voltage
and
high-current
appliance.
Though
it
is
free
from
danger
in
ordinary
use,
extreme
care
should
be
taken
during
repair.
MICROWAVE
RADIATION
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
connected.
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.

Installing
microwave
oven
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,
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
the
microwave
oven
in
an
ambient
temperature
of
less
than
104°F
(40°C).
6.
Place
the
microwave
oven
on
a
sturdy
and
flat
surface,
at
least
10cm(4
inches)
from
the
wall.
7.
Place
the
microwave
oven
as
far
away
as
possible
from
TV,
RADIO,
COMPUTER
etc,
to
prevent
interference.
8.
This
oven
must
be
plugged
into
a
15A
outlet.
9.
Do
not
touch
the
front
glass
during
or
after
cooking
of
the
Grill,
Convection
and
Combination
mode.
This
glass
is
very
hot
during
heater
operating.
10.
Do
not
operate
oven
at
microwave
and
combination
mode
with
the
Convection
rack
or
Grill
rack
placed
in
the
cavity
when
the
oven
is
empty.

CAUTIONS
?
Be
sure
to
check
a
microwave
emission
prior
to
servicing
the
oven
if
the
oven
is
operative
prior
to
servicing.
?
If
the
oven
operates
with
door
open,
the
service
personnel
should;
---Tell
the
user
not
to
operate
the
oven
?
The
service
personnel
should
check
all
surface
and
vent
openings
for
microwave
emission
testing.
?
Check
for
microwave
energy
leakage
after
every
servicing.
The
power
density
of
the
microwave
radiation
leakage
emitted
by
the
microwave
oven
should
not
exceed
4
mW/cm2.
And
always
start
measuring
of
an
unknown
field
to
assure
safety
for
operating
personnel
from
radiation
leakage.
NOTE:
The
standard
is
5
mW/cm2
while
in
the
customer's
home.
4
mW/cm2
stated
here
is

MEASUREMENT
WITH
THE
OUTER
CASE
REMOVED
?
When
you
replace
the
magnetron,
measure
microwave
energy
leakage
before
the
out
case
is
installed
and
after
all
necessary
components
are
replaced
or
adjusted.
Special
care
should
be
taken
in
measuring
the
following

MEASUREMENT
WITH
A
FULLY
ASSEMBLED
OVEN
?
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.
NOTES:
Leakage
with
the
outer
case
removed
-
less
than
5

NOTES
WHEN
MEASURING
?
Do
not
exceed

?
The
test
probe
must
be
removed
no
faster
than,
1

along
the
shaded
area,
otherwise
a
false
reading
may
result.
?
The
test

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.
RECORD

record
the
measured
values
for
future
reference.
Also
enter
the
information
on

?
Should
the
microwave

PARTS

?
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
potable
water.
?
The
water
is
contained
in
a
cylindrical
borosilicate
glass
vessel
having
a
maximum
material
thickness
of
3
mm
and
an
outside
diameter
of
approximately
190
mm.
?
The
oven
and
the
empty
vessel
are
at
ambient
temperature
prior
to
the
start
of
the
test.
?
The
initial
temperature
(±1)
of
the
water
is
(10±2)°C.
It
is
measured
immediately
before
the
water
is
added
to
the
vessel.
After
addition
of
the
water
to
the
vessel,
the
load
is
immediately
placed
on
the
center
of
the
shelf
which
is
in
the
lowest
position
and
the
microwave
power
switched
on.
?
The
time
T
for
the
temperature
of
the
water
to
rise
by
a
value
!T
of
(10±2)°K
is
measured,
where
T
is
the
time
in
seconds
and
!T
is
the
temperature
rise.
The
initial
and
final
water
temperatures
are
selected
so
that
the
maximum
difference
between
the
final
water
temperature
and
the
ambient
temperature
is
5°K.

survey
meter
around
the
magnetron.
Microwave
energy
must
be
below
