1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
ThisunitusesCMOSLSIintheintegralpartofthecircuits.
When handling these parts, the following precautions
should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI have extremely
high impedance at its input and output terminals. For this
reason, it is easily influenced by the surrounding high
voltage power source, static electricity 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 aluminium foil. Also wrap PW boards containing
them 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.
Toperformtheservicing,powertothetouchcontrolpanel
is available either from the power line of the oven itself or
from an external power source.
(1) Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply of the oven :
CAUTION:
THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER OF THE
MICROWAVEOVENISSTILLLIVEDURINGSERV-
ICING AND PRESENTS A HAZARD .
Therefore, when checking the performance of the
touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven
to avoid touching the high voltage transformer, or
unplug the primary terminal (connector) of the high
voltage transformer to turn it off; the end of such
connector must be insulated with an insulating tape.
After servicing, be sure to replace the leads to their
original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between
the touch control panel and the oven itself is so
short that the two can't be separated.

panel while keeping it connected to the oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between
the touch control panel and the oven proper is so
longenoughthattheymaybeseparatedfromeach
other.Forthose models, therefore, itis possible to
check and repair the controls of the touch control
panel while keeping it apart from the oven proper;
in this case you must short both ends of the door
sensingswitch(onPWB)ofthetouchcontrolpanel
with a jumper, which brings about 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
thedummyresistor(s)withresistanceequaltothat
of the controls are used.
(2) Servicing the touch control panel with power
supply 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 brings about an operational state that is
equivalent to the oven door being closed. Connect an
external power source to the power input terminal of
thetouchcontrolpanel,thenitispossibletocheckand
repair the controls 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
Toolsrequiredtoservicethetouchcontrolpanelassembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC -
10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools

5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.
