1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautionsshould be strictlyfollowed.CMOS LSI have
extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surroundinghigh voltagepower source,staticelectricity
charge in clothes, etc. and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) Whenstoring and transporting,thoroughlywrap them in
aluminiumfoil.AlsowrapallPWboardscontainingthem
in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the
figure and use grounded soldering iron and work table.

3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so. To perform
theservicing,powertothetouchcontrolpanelisavailable
either from the power line of the oven itself or from an
external power source.
(1)Servicingthetouchcontrolpanelwithpowersupply
of the oven:
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING
SERVICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore,beforecheckingtheperformanceofthetouch
control panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4) Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5) Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
6) After that procedure, re-connect the power supply
cord.
After checking the performance of the touch control panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Re-connect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
4) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
5) Re-connect the power supply cord after the outer
case is installed.
6) Run the oven and check all functions.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touchcontrolpanelandtheovenitselfissoshortthatthe
two can’t be separated. For those models, check and
repair all the controls (sensor-related ones included) of
thetouchcontrolpanelwhilekeepingitconnectedtothe
oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven proper is long enough
that they may be separated from each other. For those
models, it is possible to check and repair the controls of
the touch control panel while keeping it apart from the
ovenproper;inthiscaseyoumustshortbothendsofthe
doorsensingswitch(onPWB) ofthetouchcontrolpanel
with a jumper, which activates an operational state that
is equivalent to the oven door being closed. As for the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel,
checking them is possible if dummy resistor(s) with
resistance equal to that of the controls are used.
(2)Servicingthetouchcontrolpanelwithpowersupply
from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from the
oven proper, and short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel, which
activates an operational state that is equivalent to the
oven door being closed. Connect an external power
source to the power input terminal of the touch control
panel,then itis possibleto checkandrepair thecontrols
of the touch control panel it is also possible to check the
sensor-related controls of the touch control panel by
using the dummy resistor(s).
4. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel
assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(Itisrecommendedtouseasolderingironwithagrounding
terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope:Singlebeam,frequencyrange:DC-10MHz
type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
5. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static
electricity.
2) Connecttheconnectorsofthekeyunittothecontrolunit
being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) Afteraluminiumfoilisremoved,becarefulthatabnormal
voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to the
input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,
making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Besuretousespecifiedcomponentswherehighprecision
is required.
