PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY (a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open. (b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs if necessary: (1) Interlock operation, (2) Proper door closing, (3) Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches (5) Evidence of dropping or abuse.
1. SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS 1. FOR SAFE OPERATION Damage that allows the microwave energy (that cooks or heats the food) to escape will result in poor cooking and may cause serious bodily injury to the operator. IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS EXIST, OPERATOR MUST NOT USE THE APPLIANCE. (Only a trained service personnel should make repairs.) (1) A broken door hinge.
2. FEATURE DIAGRAM 11. DOOR HOOK When the door is closed, it will automatically lock shut. If door is opened while oven is operating, the magnetron will immediately stop operating. 12. DOOR VIEWING SCREEN Allows viewing of food. The screen is designed so that light can pass through, but not the microwave. 13.
4. INSTALLATION 1. Steady, flat location This microwave oven should be set on a steady, flat surface. This microwave oven is designed for counter top use only. 2. Leave space behind and side All air vents should be kept a clearance. If all vents are covered during operation, the oven may overheat and, eventually, cause failure.
5. CONTROL PANEL 1 Display : Cooking time, power level, indicators and present time are displayed. MW : When blinking, the oven is operating in MICROWAVE COOK. Grill : When blinking, the oven is operating in GRILL. Combi : When blinking, the oven is operating in COMBI. Defrost Weight : When blinking, the oven is operating in WEIGHT DEFROST.
6. DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY - Cautions to be observed when trouble shooting. Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage, high-current equipment. It is completely safe during normal operation. However, carelessness in servicing the oven can result in an electric shock or possible danger from a short circuit.

7. INTERLOCK MECHANISM AND ADJUSTMENT The door lock mechanism is a device which has been specially designed to completely eliminate microwave radiation when the door is opened during operation, and thus to perfectly prevent the danger resulting from the leakage of microwave. (1) Primary interlock switch When the door is closed, the hook locks the oven door.
8. TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Following the procedure below to check if the oven is defective or not. 1) Check grounding before trouble checking. 2) Be careful of the high voltage circuit. 3) Discharge the high voltage capacitor. 4) When checking the continuity of the switches, fuse or high voltage tranformer, disconnect one load wire from these parts and check continuity with the AC plug removed.

9. MEASUREMENT AND TEST 1. MEASUREMENT OF THE MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT Microwave output power can be checked by indirectly measuring the temperature rise of a certain amount of water exposed to the microwave as directed below. PROCEDURE 1. A cylindrical container of borosilicate glass is used for the test. It has a maximum thickness of 3mm, an external diameter of approximately 190mm and a height of approximately 90mm.
2. MICROWAVE RADIATION TEST WARNING 1. Make sure to check the microwave leakage before and after repair of adjustment. 2. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from microwave energy. 3. Do not place your hands into any suspected microwave radiation field unless the safe density level is known. 4.
3. COMPONENT TEST PROCEDURE High voltage is present at the high voltage terminal of the high voltage transformer during any cooking cycle. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the high voltage. Before touching any oven components or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the capacitor.
