SERVICE INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS AND REPAIR SERVICE TIPS PRELIMINARY A. SINCE NEARLY 2,100 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME CIRCUITS OF THIS UNIT REPAIRS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH GREAT CARE. The filament leads of magnetron carry High Voltage with respect to ground. Extreme caution must be exercised. Never plug the unit into a power source to determine which component is defective in high voltage section. B. TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN BEFORE SERVICING. (1) Before the power is applied: (a) Make sure the primary interlock switch, the secondary interlock switch and the interlock monitor switch operate properly by opening and closing the door several by opening and closing the door several times. (b) Make sure the perforated screen and the dielectric choke of the door are correctly and firmly mounted. (2) After power is applied: (a) Make sure the interlock switch mechanism is operating properly by opening and closing the door. (b) Check microwave energy leakage must be below the limit of 5 mW/cm2. (All service adjustments should be made for minimum microwave energy leakage readings). (3) Do not operate the unit until it is completely repaired, if any of the following conditions exist. The unit must not be operated. (a) The door does not close firmly. (b) The hinge is broken. (c) The door seal is damaged. (d) The door is bent or warped, or there is any other visible damage on the unit that may cause microwave energy leakage. NOTE: Always keep the seal clean. (e) Make sure that there are no defective parts in the interlock mechanism. (f) Make sure that there are no detective parts in the microwave generating and transmission assembly (especially waveguide). (4) The following items should be checked after the unit is repaired: (a) The interlock monitor switch is connected correctly and firmly. (b) The magnetron gasket is properly positioned and mounted. (c) The waveguide and the oven cavity are intact. (no microwave energy leakage) (d) The door can be properly closed and the safety switches work properly. (e) The unit must stop when the door is opened or the time is up. The unit must not be operated with any of the above components removed or by-passed. 7-1

PRELIMINARY
A. SINCE NEARLY 2,100 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME
CIRCUITS OF THIS UNIT REPAIRS SHOULD BE
CARRIED OUT WITH GREAT CARE.
The filament leads of magnetron carry High
Voltage with respect to ground. Extreme caution
must be exercised. Never plug the unit into a
power source to determine which component is
defective in high voltage section.
B. TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE, THE
FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN
BEFORE SERVICING.
(1) Before the power is applied:
(a) Make sure the primary interlock switch, the
secondary interlock switch and the interlock
monitor switch operate properly by opening
and closing the door several by opening and
closing the door several times.
(b) Make sure the perforated screen and the
dielectric choke of the door are correctly and
firmly mounted.
(2) After power is applied:
(a) Make sure the interlock switch mechanism
is operating properly by opening and closing
the door.
(b) Check microwave energy leakage must
be below
the limit of 5 mW/cm
2
.
(All service adjustments should be made for
minimum microwave energy leakage
readings).
(3) Do not operate the unit until it is completely
repaired, if any of the following conditions exist.
The unit must not be operated.
(a) The door does not close firmly.
(b) The hinge is broken.
(c) The door seal is damaged.
(d) The door is bent or warped, or there is any
other visible damage on the unit that may
cause microwave energy leakage.
NOTE:
Always keep the seal clean.
(e) Make sure that there are no defective parts
in the interlock mechanism.
(f) Make sure that there are no detective parts
in the microwave generating and transmission
assembly (especially waveguide).
(4) The following items should be checked after the
unit is repaired:
(a) The interlock monitor switch is connected
correctly and firmly.
(b) The magnetron gasket is properly positioned
and mounted.
(c) The waveguide and the oven cavity are intact.
(no microwave energy leakage)
(d) The door can be properly closed and the
safety switches work properly.
(e) The unit must stop when the door is opened or
the time is up.
The unit must not be operated with any of the above
components removed or by-passed.
