PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave
source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3) seal and sealing
surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches, (5) evidence of
dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment, integrity,
and connections.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and
transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the
oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be performed
on each oven prior to release to the owner.
BEFORE SERVICING
Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave Measure-
ment Procedure outlined in this service manual.
If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact Viking Service immediately @
1-888-845-4641.
If the unit operates with the door open, service person should (1) tell the user not to operate the oven and
(2) contact VIKING, plus the Department Of Health, Canada and/or the Food and Drug Administration's
Center for Devices and Radiological Health immediately.
Service personnel should inform VIKING of any certified unit found with emissions in excess of 4mW/cm2.
The owner of the unit should be instructed not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
DANGER CAUTION
HIGH VOLTAGE
Do not energize a microwave oven with the outer case cabinet removed, because a microwave oven
generates High Voltage in the circuit.
If you intend to operate the oven employing the high frequency switching power converter circuit, you should
take special precautions to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
The high voltage transformer, high voltage capacitor and high voltage diode have energized high voltage
potential approx. 8 KV.
The aluminium heat sink is connected to the switching power transistor Collector pole, and has an energized
high voltage potential approx. 650V peak.
DO NOT ACCESS THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR, HIGH
VOLTAGE DIODE AND HEAT SINK WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY IS CONNECTED TO AN ELECTRICAL
OUTLET.

WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of pro-
ducing very high voltage and current, contact with
following parts
may result in a severe, possibly
fatal, electrical shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Power
Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier
Assembly, High Voltage Harness etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all
instructions.
Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then
remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for
60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of
an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may in, some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event,
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 the leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
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. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup
of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and re-
examine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.
Don't Touch !

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE (CANADA)
After adjustment of the door switches are completed individually or collectively, switch test and microwave leakage test must
be performed with survey instrument and test result must be confirmed to meet the requirement of the performance standard
for microwave ovens as undermentioned.
A. Requirements:
Every microwave oven shall function in such a manner that when the oven is fully assembled and operating with its service
controls and user controls adjusted to yield the maximum output, the leakage radiation, at all points at least 5 cm. from
the
external surface of the oven, does not exceed:
1) 1.0mW/cm2 with the test load of 275 ± 15 ml of water at an initial temperature 20 ±5oC.
2) 5.0mW/cm2 when the outer enclosure is removed with a test load of 275 ± 15 ml of water at an initial temperature 20±5oC.
3) 5.0mW/cm2 without a test load.
B. Preparation for testing:
Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by CSA and NHW performance
standard for microwave ovens must be used for testing recommended instruments are , NARDA 8100 and NARDA 8200.
2) Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
3) Place the load of 275±15 ml of tap water initially at 20±5oC in the center of the oven cavity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.) and made
of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage
is measured accurately.
4) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode, Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the
water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.
C. Leakage test with enclosure installed :
1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.
2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 2.5 cm/sec. along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.
3) Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal
has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
While testing for leakage around the door pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed
latch assembly.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2,
and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
C. Leakage test without enclosure:
1) Remove the enclosure (cabinet).
2) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to all mechanical and electric parts of the oven that
is accessible to the user of the oven including, but not limited to, the waveguide, cavity seams, magnetron gap between
the door and the body of the oven.
3) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 2.5 cm/sec. along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is under 5mW/cm2.
CAUTION: Special attention should be given to avoid electrical shock because HIGH VOLTAGE is generated during this
test
No Load test
1) Operate the oven without a load and measure the leakage by the same method as the above test procedure " Leakage
test with enclosure installed"
2. Make sure that the highest leakage should not exceed 5mW/cm2.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.
