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 to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard 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.
