PRECAUTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLY AND REPAIR
- Cautions to be observed when trouble shooting.
Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage, high-current equipment. It is completely safe during
normal operation. However, carelessness in servicing the oven can result in an electric shock or possible danger from a
short circuit.
You are asked to observe the following precautions carefully.
(1) Always remove the power plug from the outlet before servicing.
(2) Use an insulated screwdriver and war rubber gloves when servicing the high voltage side.
(3) Warning about the electric charge in the high voltage capacitor. When inspecting and repairing the high voltage side,
always short the capacitor terminals and make sure of discharge.
1. Check the earthing.
Do not operate on a 2-wire extension cord.
The microwave oven is designed to be used when earthed.
It is imperative, therefore, to makes sure it is earthed
properly before beginning repair work.
2. Warning about the electric charge
in the high voltage capacitor.
For about 30 seconds after the operation stops, electric charge
remains in the high voltage capacitor. When replacing or
checking parts, short between oven chassis and the negative
high terminal of the high voltage capacitor, by using a properly
insulated screw driver to discharge.
(4) When the 15 Amp fuse (normal blow type) is blown out due to the operation of the monitor switch; replace primary,
secondary interlock switch and monitor switch. Refer to 7 page for the necessary adjustment.
(5) After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the screws are properly tightened and all electrical connections are
tightened.
(6) Do not operate without cabinet.
CAUTION : Service personnel should remove their watches whenever working close to or repairing the magnetron.
WARNING : When servicing the appliance, need a care of touching or replacing high potential parts because of
electrical shock or exposing microwave. These parts are as follows - H.V. Transformer, magnetron,
H.V. Diode, H.V. Capacitor.
