COMPONENT TEST PROCEDURE

CAUTIONS

1. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET WHENEVER REMOVING

THE OUT CASE FROM THE UNIT. PROCEED WITH THE TEST ONLY AFTER DISCHARGING THE
HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PRIMARY WINDING
OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. (SEE FIGURE 24)

2. ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY MUST BE DONE WITH A LOAD (1 LITER

OF WATER IN A BEAKER) IN THE OVEN.
