This device is to be serviced only by properly qualified service personnel.
Consult the service manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to be
taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

A) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.

B) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other

microwave source, and make repairs as necessary; (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing,  (3)

seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and

latches, (5) evidence of dropping or abuse.

C) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating

compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,

integrity, and connections.

D) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation

and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual

before the oven is released to the owner.

E) A microwave leakage check should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

CAUTION

MICROWAVE RADIATION

DO NOT BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM THE MICROWAVE GENERATOR
OR OTHER PARTS CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY.
