TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
CAUTION AND IMPORTANT
Before disassembling the oven, the oven power must be turned off. Remove the power plug of
the oven from the outlet and wait for at least 3 minutes.
When disassembling, service personnel should remove their watches and metal chains from
their hands. Never touch the high voltage components and wire.
Before checking or replacing, discharge the high voltage capacitor to oven chassis earthed with
an insulated wire. Make sure that the wire is earthed to chassis side before short circuiting the
capacitor terminal.
Do not measure high voltage with a common voltmeter.
MICROWAVE LEAKAGE
Refer to LEAKAGE TEST regarding microwave leakage. If the leakage is greater than
5 mW/cm
2
, it is necessary to repair the oven.
If leakage is found worst at control panel, ventilation openings or oven bottom, check if there is
any damaged parts or loose screws in the respective areas. If so, replace the damaged parts
and fasten the screws.
If leakage is found worst around the door perimeter, adjust the door hinges and the interlock
support.
