COMPONENT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

WARNING AGAINST HIGH VOLTAGE:

Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts may result in severe, possibly fatal, electric shock.

(Example)

High Voltage Capacitor, Power Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier Assembly, High Voltage Harness etc..

WARNING: Avoid possible exposure to microwave energy. Please follow the instructions below before operating the oven.

1.Disconnect the power supply cord.

2.Make sure that a definite” click” can be heard when the microwave oven door is unlatched. (Hold the door in a closed position with one hand, then push the door open button with the other, this causes the latch leads to rise, it is then possible to hear a “click’ as the door switches operate.)

1.Without the RF gasket (Magnetron).

2.If the wave guide or oven cavity are not intact.

3.If the door is not closed.

4.If the outer case (cabinet) is not fitted.

WARNING FOR WIRING

To prevent an electric shock, take the following pre- cautions.

1.Before wiring,

Magnetron, High voltage transformer, High voltage capacitor and High voltage rectifier assembly.

2)Hot parts:

Oven lamp, Magnetron, High voltage transformer and Oven cavity.

3)Sharp edge:

Bottom plate, Oven cavity, Waveguide flange, Chassis support and other metallic plate.

4)Movable parts (to prevent a fault)

Fan blade, Fan motor, Switch, Open lever, Open button.

3.Do not catch the wire leads in the outer case cabinet.

4.Insert the positive lock connector until its pin is locked and make sure that the wire leads do not come off even if the wire leads are pulled.

5.To prevent an error function, connect the wire leads correctly, referring to the Pictorial Diagram.
