FOREWORD Read this Manual carefully. Failure to adhere to or observe the information in this Manual may result in exposing yourself to the Microwave Energy normally contained within the oven cavity. CONTENTS (Page) Safety Precautions .............................. 2 1. Specification ..............................4 2.
2. 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.
3. INSTALLATION 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.

8. POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT (1) Microwave power output measurement is made 4.187 Mw(T2 –T1)+0.55Mc(T2 –T0) with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting is measured while the microwave generator is with a load of (1000 ± 5) g of potable water. operating at full power.
9. INTERLOCK SYSTEM 9-1. Interlock Mechanism The door lock mechanism is a device which has been specially designed to eliminate completely microwave activity when the door is opened during cooking and thus to prevent the danger resulting from the microwave leakage. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES CHECK THE DOOR LATCH AND SWITCH To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy...
