TROUBLE SHOOTING
WHEN YOU GET A COMPLAINT FROM YOUR CUSTOMER, EVALUATE THE COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. IF
THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS APPLY, PLEASE INSTRUCT THE CUSTOMER IN THE PROPER USE OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN. THIS CAN ELIMINATE AN UNNECESSARY SERVICE CALL.
CAUTIONS
1. Check grounding before checking for trouble.
2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor. (See page 2-1)
4. When checking the continuity of the switches or of the high voltage transformer, disconnect one lead wire
from these parts and then check continuity with the AC plug removed. To do otherwise may result in a
false reading or damage to your meter.
5. Do not touch any part of the circuit on the PCB since static electric discharge may damage this control
panel.
Always touch yourself to ground while working on this panel to discharge any static charge built up in your
body. (Micom model only)
