CAUTIONS Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is MICROWAVE RADIATION high-voltage and high-current equipment. Personnel should not be exposed to the Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, microwave energy which may radiate from the extreme care should be taken during repair. magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connection.
INSTALLATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION A. Plug the power supply cord into a 120V AC, 60Hz, single-phase power source with a capacity of at least 20 amperes. B. Avoid placing the unit in a location where there is direct heat or splashing water.
CONTROL PANEL INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Styling and features vary by model. 13. REHEAT: Touch this key to reheat Pizza Slice, Dinner Plate, Soup/Sauce and Casserole. The oven’s sensor 1. DISPLAY: The Display includes a clock and indicators will tell the oven how long to cook depending on the to tell you time of day, cooking time setting, and amount of humidity coming from the food.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SERVICE GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. A. The safety systems incorporated in this model are: Operating the oven with no load may shorten the (1) Primary interlock switch life of the magnetron.
SERVICE INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS AND REPAIR SERVICE TIPS PRELIMINARY (3) Do not operate the unit until it is completely repaired, if any of the following conditions exist. The unit must not be operated. A. SINCE NEARLY 4000 VOLTS EXISTS IN SOME (a) The door does not close firmly.
