Important Safety Information

!WARNING

Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:

The basic design of the Amana Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service. However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the Microwave Oven to maintain this safety. These are as follows:

1.Always operate the unit from an adequately grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord.

2.Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform the microwave leakage test.

3.The oven should never be operated if the door does not fit properly against the seal, the hinges or hinge bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other visible damage can be noted. Check the choke area to ensure that this area is clean and free of all foreign matter.

4.If the oven operates with the door open and produces microwave energy, take the following steps:

A.Tell the user not to operate the oven.

B.Contact Maytag immediately.

5.Always have the oven disconnected when the outer case is removed except when making the "live" tests called for in this Service Manual. Do not reach into the equipment area while the unit is energized. Make all connections for the test and check them for tightness before plugging the cord into the outlet.

6.Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron filter box with an insulated-handle screwdriver before working in the high voltage area of the equipment compartment. Some types of failures will leave a charge in these capacitors and the discharge could cause a reflex action which could make you injure yourself.

7.Always remember that in the area of the transformer there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When the unit is operating keep this area clear and free of anything which could possibly cause an arc or ground, etc.

8.Do not for any reason defeat the interlock switches there is not a valid reason for this action at anytime; nor will it be condoned by Maytag.

9.IMPORTANT: Before returning a unit to a customer, be sure to check for proper switch interlock action.

10.Before returning a unit to a customer, verify that the door spacing is reasonably uniform along the top, bottom, and sides, and that it measure 1/64"/0.5mm or less.

11.Microwave ovens should never be operated with any components removed and/or bypassed or when any of the safety interlocks are found to be failing or when any of the seal surfaces are failing, missing or damaged.

12.All microwave ovens meet all requirements of the radiation control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. Due to measurement uncertainties, the maximum leakage for the field will be 4mw/cm2.

13.To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive microwave leakage and to meet the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines, check the oven for microwave leakage using a leakage monitor. The maximum leakage level allowed when following those instructions is 4mw/cm2.

14.If servicer encounters an emission reading over 4mw/cm2, the servicer is to cease repair and contact the Commercial Support Center immediately for further direction. Maytag will contact the proper Government Agency upon verification of the test results.
