DEFROST TEST

WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.

1.   Place one cup of water in the center of the turntable tray in the oven cavity.
2.   Close the door.
3.   Touch the “ DEFROST “ pad, then number 2.
4.   The oven is in Defrost Center cooking condition.
5.   The oven will operate as follows:

NOISE FILTER 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.   Using an ohm-meter, check between the terminals as described in the following table:

If incorrect readings are obtained, replace the noise filter.
6.   Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7.   Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
8.   Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
9.   Run the oven and check all functions.
