THIS SERVICE MANUAL IS INTENDED FOR USE BY PERSONS HAVING ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL TRAINING AND A LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THESE SUBJECTS GENERALLY CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE IN THE APPLIANCE REPAIR TRADE. ELECTROLUX HOME PRODUCTS CANNOT BE RESPONSIBLE, NOR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY, FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THIS MANUAL.
Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave Measurement Procedure outlined in this service manual. If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact ELECTROLUX HOME PRODUCTS, INC. immediately. If the unit operates with the door open, service person should: 1) Tell the user not to operate the oven.
Basic Information MICROWAVE OVENS CONTAIN CIRCUITRY CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HIGH VOLTAGE AND CURRENT. CONTACT WITH THE FOLLOWING PARTS MAY RESULT IN A SEVERE, POSSIBLY FATAL, ELECTRICAL SHOCK. INVERTER UNIT, THAT INCLUDES HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR, HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER, HEAT SINK ETC., AND MAGNETRON, HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS ETC..
Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (USA) A. Requirements: 1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (Canada) After adjustment of the door switches are completed individually or collectively, switch test and microwave leakage test must be performed with survey instrument and test result must be confirmed to meet the requirement of the performance standard for microwave ovens as under mentioned.
Basic Information Grounding Instructions Discharging Capacitor High Voltage Warning! This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly Do not attempt to measure any of the high voltages, installed and grounded in accordance with the National this includes the filament voltage of the magnetron.
