2 For your safety
Purpose
This chapter provides you with all the information you need in order to work with the microwave combination oven safely
without putting yourself or others at risk.
This is a particularly important chapter that you must read through carefully.
IMPORTANT:
This manual provides technical guidance for technicians who have successfully undertaken a recognized product
familiarization and training course run by Merrychef to carry out service/repair tasks to the appliance/s shown on the front
cover of this manual which must not be used for any other make or model of appliance.
Please remember that it is wiser not to attempt a service task if you are unsure of being able to complete it competently,
quickly, and above all safely.
To avoid injury to yourself or others and to protect the appliance from possible damage, ensure you have read and understand
all the relevant instructions and ALWAYS follow the safety codes when servicing an oven.
1.
Ensure the electrical supply is locked-off to prevent the oven from being inadvertently powered up.
2.
Do not leave the oven unattended without the oven panels fitted and keep within sight of other personnel when testing
the oven, ensuring persons other than trained engineers are denied access.
3.
The minimum number of panels should be removed, and the high voltage capacitors must be discharged before
working on the oven using a suitable Capacitor Discharge tool (see section 2.15).
4.
Temporary insulation should be used to prevent accidental contact with dangerous conductors.
5.
Do not touch any internal wiring or connectors within the oven, whether you believe it is live or not and avoid touching
the metalwork (casing, panels, etc) of the oven with your body.
6.
Only use electrically rated screwdrivers for adjusting ‘Pots’ etc., ensuring the tool touches nothing else.
7.
Ensure the test equipment is set correctly before use.
8.
Test equipment such as meter test leads or clamps must be fitted and removed whilst the unit is dead, for each and
every test.
9.
Do not undertake functional magnetron testing with the panels of the casing removed.
10.
Avoid touching the test equipment, unless necessary for the operation.
11.
Upon completion of a service follow the steps for commissioning the oven under the "Commissioning the appliance"
section of this manual.
