6-1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. Operating the oven with no load may shorten the life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry foods (dried fish, bread, etc.) or a small amount of food, be sure to put a glass of water into the cooking compartment. The glass turntable may become hot after operating, be careful[...]

PRELIMINAR Y A. SINCE NEARLY 2,100 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME CIRCUITS OF THIS UNIT REPAIRS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITH GREAT CARE. The filament leads of magnetron carry High Voltage with respect to ground. Extreme caution must be exercised. Never plug the unit into a power source to determine which component is defective in high voltage section. B. TO AV[...]

7-2 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 emis[...]

MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE REMOVED (1) When you replace the magnetron, measure for microwave energy leakage before the outer case is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring the following parts. - Around the magnetron - The waveguide WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH VOLT[...]

IMPORT ANT NOTES: UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ELEC- TRICAL OUTLET WHEN MAKING REPAIRS, RE- PLACEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTIN- UITY CHECKS. WAIT AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, UNTIL THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY HAS FULLY DISCHARGED. THE CAPACITOR SHOULD BE DISCHARGED BY USING INSULATED WIRE - I.E. TEST PROBE CONNECTED TO 10K[...]
