SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NN-G61 AR

CAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN

TROUBLESHOOTING

Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high- voltage, high-current equipment. Though it is

free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair.

CAUTION

Servicemen should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing magnetron.

Check the grounding

Do not operate on a 2-wire extension cord. The microwave oven is designed to be used when grounded.

It is imperative, therefore, to make sure it is grounded prop- erly before beginning repair work.

Warning about the electric charge in the high voltage capacitor

For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an elec- tric charge remains in the high voltage capacitor.

When replacing or checking parts, turn the oven off, wait 30 seconds and short the terminal of the high voltage ca- pacitor (terminal of lead wire from diode) to chassis ground with an insulated handle screwdriver or an insulated jumper lead wire to discharge.

Important Note

1.High voltage above 250V are existing on following parts during operation.

Magnetron

High voltage transformer

High voltage Diode

High voltage Capacitor

Unusual attention should be paid during repair or troubleshooting of product.

2.If the microwave oven is operated with incorrect installed door hinge or magnetron, it can cause microwave leak- age of over 5mW/cm2.

Hence it is absolutely necessary to check if magnetron and door hinge are correctly and safely intalled after repair or replacement.

WARNING

Never touch any circuit wiring your hand nor even with an insulated tool during operation

When parts must be replaced, remove the power plug from the outlet.

Avoid inserting nails, wire, etc. through any holes in the unit during operation.

Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal objects through the lamp holes on the cavity or any other holes or gaps, because such objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave leakage.

CONFIRM AFTER REPAIR

After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the screws of the oven, etc. are neither loose nor missing. Mi- crowaves might leak if screws are not properly tightened. 1. Make sure that all electrical connections are tight before

inserting the plug into the wall outlet.

2. The special connection cable used for connection of this apparate may be replaced only by qualified service-per- sonnel using a special cable, which can be obtained only from the “Panasonic” -Service. (Refer to Parts List).

CAUTION

MICROWAVE RADIATION

Personnel should not be exposed to the microwave energy which may radiate from the magnetron or other microwave generating device it is improperly used or connected all input and output microwave connection waveguides, flanges, and gasket must be secure. Never operate the device without a microwave energy absorbing load attached. Never look into an open waveguide or antena while the device is energized.
