NECESSARY TOOLS

Tools normally used for TV servicing are sufficient.
Standard tools are listed below.

¥ Diagonal pliers
¥ Long nose pliers
¥ Phillips screwdriver
¥ Flat blade screwdriver
¥ Wrench (size 5mm)
¥ Nutdriver (size 5mm)
¥ Adjustable wrench
¥ Soldering iron
¥ Solder
¥ Vinyl insulation tape
¥ Polishing cloth

CAUTIONS

¥ Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to

servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to
servicing.

¥ The service personnel should inform the

manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified
oven unit found to have a microwave emission
level in excess of 5 mW/cm

2

and should repair any

unit found to have excessive emission levels at no cost
to the owner and should ascertain the cause of the
excessive leakage. The service personnel should
instruct the owner not to use the unit until the oven has
been brought into compliance.

¥ If the oven operates with the door open, the service

personnel should:

- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
- Contact the manufacturer.

¥ The service personnel should check all surface and

vent openings for microwave leakage.

¥ Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The

power density of the microwave radiation leakage
emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 
5 mW/cm

2

. Always start measuring of an unknown field

to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation
leakage.

NECESSARY MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

¥ Cylindrical and made of borosilicate glass vessel.

max. thickness: 3 mm
outside diameter: approx. 190mm
height: approx. 90mm

¥ Glass thermometer: 100¡C or 212¡F (1 deg scale)

MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY
LEAKAGE

¥ Pour 275±15 cc of 20±5¡C(68±9¡F) water in a beaker

which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker
on the center of the turntable.

¥ Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and

use it following the manufacturer's recommended
test procedure to assure correct result.

¥ When measuring the leakage, always use the 2-inch

(5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

¥ Operate the oven at its maximum output.
¥ Measure the microwave radiation using and

electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the
probe perpendicular to the surface being measured

Move probe along shaded area

Probe scanning speed
Less than 2.5 cm/sec
( 1in/sec)
