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, Inverter Unit, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier Assembly, High Voltage Fuse, 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 push the door open button 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.
Please refer to ”OVEN PARTS, CABINET PARTS, DOOR PARTS”, when carrying out any of the following removal procedures:
To prevent an electric shock, take the following precautions.
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, Inverter unit, High voltage capacitor, High voltage
rectifier assembly and High voltage fuse.
2) Hot parts:
Convection heater, Oven lamp, Magnetron, High voltage trans-
former and Oven cavity.
3) Sharp edge:
Bottom plate, Oven cavity, Weveguide flange, Chassis support
and other metallic plate.
4) Movable parts (to prevent a fault)
Fan blade, Fan motor, Switch, Switch lever, Open button.
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.
[2] OUTER CASE CABINET REMOVAL
To remove the outer case cabinet, procedure as follows.
1. Disconnect the oven from power supply.
2. Door opened, and wedged open.
3. Remove five (5) screws from rear and one (1) screw along the right
side edge of case.
4. Slide the entire case back out about 1 inch (3 cm) to free it from
retaining clips on the cavity face plate.
5. Lift entire case from the unit.
6. Discharge the high voltage capacitors of the inverter unit, by follow-
ing the procedures below.
i)
Wait for 60 seconds to discharge the high voltage capacitors of
the inverter unit.
ii) Disconnect the high voltage wire from the magnetron terminal
with insulated pliers.
iii) Make the terminal (metal part) of the high voltage wire contact
to the magnetron body with insulated pliers.
iv) Now, the capacitors of the inverter unit are discharged.
7. Reconnect the high voltage wire to the magnetron terminal after
discharging.
WARNING: Use the pliers that the portions of their handles are insu-
lated completely to avoid an electric shock.
WARNING AGAINST HIGH VOLTAGE:
WARNING FOR WIRING
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply. 3)Discharge high voltage capacitor.
2)Door opened, and wedged open.
