COMPONENT REPLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT PROCE-
DURE
[1] BEFORE OPERATING
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts may result in severe, possibly fatal,
electric shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier Assembly, High Voltage Harness etc..
WARNING:
Avoid possible exposure to microwave energy. Please follow the instructions below before operating
the oven.
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Make sure that a definite “click” can be heard when the microwave
oven door is unlatched. (Hold the door in a closed position with one
hand, then grip the door lever in door handle with the other, this
causes the latch leads to rise, it is then possible to hear a “click” as
the door switches operate.)
3) Visually check the door and cavity face plate for damage (dents,
cracks, signs of arcing etc.).
Carry out any remedial work that is necessary before operating the
oven.
Do not operate the oven if any of the following conditions exist;
1) Door does not close firmly.
2) Door hinge, support or latch hook is damaged.
3) The door gasket or seal is damaged.
4) The door is bent or warped.
5) There are defective parts in the door interlock system.
6) There are defective parts in the microwave generating and trans-
mission assembly.
7) There is visible damage to the oven.
Do not operate the oven:
1) Without the RF gasket (Magnetron).
2) If the wave guide or oven cavity are not intact.
3) If the door is not closed.
4) If the outer case cabinet is not fitted.
To prevent an electric shock, take the following manners.
1. Before wiring,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor and wait for 60 seconds.
2. Don't let the wire leads touch to the following parts;
1) High voltage parts:
Magnetron, High voltage transformer, High voltage capacitor
and High voltage rectifier assembly.
2) Hot parts:
Engine unit, Grill heating element, Oven lamp, Magnetron, High
voltage transformer and Oven cavity.
3) Sharp edge:
Bottom plate, Oven cavity, Waveguide flange, Chassis support
and other metallic plate.
4) Movable parts (to prevent a fault)
Fan blade, Fan motor, Switch, Antenna motor, Damper motor
and pump motor.
3. Do not catch the wire leads in the outer case cabinet.
4. Insert the positive lock connector certainly until its pin is locked.
And make sure that the wire leads should not come off even if the
wire leads is pulled.
5. To prevent an error function, connect the wire leads correctly, refer-
ring to the Pictorial Diagram.
Please refer to ‘OVEN PARTS, CABINET PARTS, CONTROL PANEL PARTS, DOOR PARTS’, when carrying out any of the following removal proce-
dures:
[2] OUTER CASE CABINET REMOVAL
To remove the outer case cabinet, procedure as follows.
1. Disconnect oven from power supply.
2. Open the oven door and wedge it open.
3. Remove the one (1) screw from right side of the outer case cabinet.
4. Remove the two (2) screws from the lower portion of the rear of
cabinet.
5. Remove the three (3) screws from rear and along the side edge of
outer case cabinet.
6. Slide the entire case back about 3 cm to free it from retaining clips
on the cavity face plate.
7. Lift the entire outer case cabinet from the oven.
8. Discharge the H.V. capacitor before carrying out any further work.
9. Do not operate the oven with the outer case cabinet removed.
NOTE: Step 1, 2 and 8 form the basis of the 3D checks.
CAUTION: DISCHARGE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE
TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENT OR WIRING.
