A Warning and Safety Instructions
1 General Information
Service and repair work should only be carried out by a suitably qualified
electrician (with specialist training, knowledge and experience, and recent related
work experience) in accordance with all appropriate local and national safety
regulations.
Servicing, modification, testing and maintenance of electrical appliances should
only be carried out in accordance with all appropriate legal requirements, accident
prevention regulations and valid standards.
All regulations of the appropriate utility supply companies and standards relating
to safety (not limited to electrical safety) are to be complied with.
Before starting any service work, the machine must be disconnected from power.
Even with the machine switched off, voltage may be applied to some
components.
A general visual check should always be carried out.
There may be a risk of injury due to sharp edges. Protective gloves should be
worn and the edge protection, mat. no. 05057680, should be used.

2 High Voltages
x
Danger!
Normally when the microwave oven is switched off, the built-in discharge
resistors in the high-voltage capacitors discharge the capacitors.
For safety reasons, it is important to ensure that the high-voltage
capacitors are discharged by always short-circuiting them before starting
any maintenance or repair work.
When the microwave oven is connected to power, the following components
have potentially lethal voltage applied to them:
•High-voltage transformer (T1)
•High-voltage capacitor (A4)
•Diode (V1)
•Magnetron (G2)

3 Discharging the High-Voltage Capacitor
Note
Although the high-voltage capacitor contains an internal bleed resistor to
automatically discharge the capacitor, the following procedure must be
performed! Do not rely on a functioning resistor!
Unplug the appliance.
Remove the cover. See Cover Removal, 001 4.5.
Using an insulated-handled screwdriver, touch the blade from one terminal on the
capacitor to the other terminal on the capacitor. This may result in a rather
startling “pop!”
Using the same insulated-handled screwdriver, touch the blade from each
terminal on the capacitor to the frame (ground) of the appliance.

4 Microwave Energy
Microwave energy is created by the magnetron or another microwave generator.
x
Danger!
The body must not be subjected to any microwave energy under any
circumstances as this could result in serious internal injuries.
The following points must always be complied with:
•The magnetron or other microwave generator must be connected correctly.
•All input and output connections, waveguides, flanges and seals must be
sealed correctly.
•A microwave oven must never be operated without a microwave load.
•Never look into an open waveguide or antenna when the microwave oven is
on.
In order to ensure that no microwave energy can escape after any repair
work has been completed, the microwave oven must be thoroughly
checked for microwave leaks in accordance with all applicable local and
national regulations. (In Germany: VDE regulation 0700 and CEE
regulation 335 apply.)
Checks should be carried out using a suitable microwave leak detector (mat. no.
05595470). Particular care should be taken around the door and the casing
edges.
The maximum permissible value is 5mW/cm
2
(32.3mW per square inch),
measured at a distance of 5cm (2 inches) from the oven with a water load of
275cm
3
±15cm
3
(0.073 gallons ± 0.004 gallons).

5 Touch Current Measurement
Note
On machines with a ground connection, touch current leakage measurements
should be carried out on all accessible conductive parts that are not connected
to ground.
Warning!
Touch current measurement should only be carried out after the ground
connection of the machine under test has been checked and found to be
satisfactory! Dangerous voltages may exist on defective machines as well as on
accessible conductive parts that are not connected to ground!
Note
Touch current measurement should be carried out on the following accessible
conductive parts:
•Stainless-steel door.

001 Overview
2 Function
2.1 Fan Run-On
With all cooking processes lasting longer than 3 minutes, the cooling fan is
switched on for 2 minutes at the end of cooking regardless of whether the door
has been opened or not. The fan, however, only operates when the door is
closed. If the door is opened during this time, the fan run-on time is reduced
accordingly.
2.2 Automatic Keep-Warm Function
If, at the end of a cooking process with at least 450W microwave power, the door
is not opened, then after 2 minutes the keep-warm function is activated and
continues for a maximum of 15 minutes with microwave power of 80W. This
function cannot be selected separately. The display shows H:H.
The automatic keep-warm function can be deactivated in the programming mode;
see Programming Mode, 001 4.2.
2.3 Safety Feature with Door Display
If the door has not been opened within 20 minutes before starting a cooking
process, the appliance cannot be started and door is displayed. This reduces the
risk that the appliance can be started with nothing in the oven.
The door warning can be deactivated in the programming mode; see
Programming Mode, 001 4.2.
