SERVICE MANUAL
CAUTION
BEFORE SERVICING THE UNIT, READ THE "SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS" IN THIS MANUAL.

MODEL: 18560
 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This device is to be serviced only by properly qualified service personnel.
Consult the service manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to be
taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.

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 as 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.
C) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
D) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation
and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual
before the oven is released to the owner.
E) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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)
