1. Precaution
Follow these special safety precautions. Although the microwave oven is completely safe during ordinary use,
repair work can be extremely hazardous due to possible exposure to microwave radiation, as well as potentially
lethal high voltages and currents.

1-2 Special High Voltage Precautions
1. High Voltage Warning Do not attempt to measure any of
magnetron. High voltage is present during any cook cycle.
Before touching any components or wiring, always unplug
the oven and discharge the high voltage capacitor (See
Figure 1-1)
2. The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 30
seconds after disconnection. Short the negative terminal
of the high-voltage capacitor to to the oven chassis. (Use a
screwdriver.)

PRECAUTION
There exists HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRICITY with high current capabilities in the circuits of the HIGH
near these circuits with the oven energized.
PRECAUTION
Service technicians should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron.
PRECAUTION
Never touch any circuit wiring with your hand or with an uninsulated tool during operation.
