TEST AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURES, AND TROUBLE SHOOTING

- CAUTIONS -

-DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET WHENEVER REMOVINGING THE CABINET FROM THE UNIT. PROCEED WITH THE TESTS ONLY AFTER DISCHARGING THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. (SEE FIGURE 24)

-ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY MUST BE DONE WITH A LOAD (1 LITER OF WATER IN CONTAINER) IN THE OVEN.
