When 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 all leads removed from components during testing.

5)Re-install the outer case (cabinet).

6)Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

7)Run the oven and check all functions.

[12] Procedure K: KEY UNIT TEST

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.Using an ohmmeter and referring to the key unit matrix indicated on the control unit circuit, check the circuit between the pins of the key unit that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad. When the pad is pressed, the ohmmeter should indicate short circuit. When the pad is released, the ohmme- ter should indicate open circuit. If incorrect readings are obtained, the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. About the other pads, the above method may be used.

5.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

7.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

8.Run the oven and check all functions.

[13] Procedure L: RELAY TEST

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 these leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.

6.After that procedure, re-connect the power supply cord.

7.Remove the outer case and check voltage between Pin No. 1 of the 3 pin connector (A) and the normal open terminal of the relay RY2 on the con- trol unit with an A.C. voltmeter.

The meter should indicate 120 volts, if not check oven circuit.
