2)Open the door block it open.

3)Discharge the high voltage capacitor and wait for 60 seconds.

2.Don’t let the wire leads touch to the following parts;

1)High voltage parts:

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, Switch 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.

Please refer to ‘OVEN PARTS, CABINET PARTS, CONTROL PANEL PARTS, DOOR PARTS’, when carrying out any of the following removal procedures:

OUTER CASE REMOVAL
