Do not operate on a two wire extension cord. The microwave oven is designed to be used when grounded. It is imperative, therefore, to ensure the appliance is properly grounded before beginning repair work. 8.2. Inverter Warnings DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HOT/LINE) OF THE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U) This high voltage inverter power supply handles very high voltage and very high current for the magnetron tube.

Inverter Grounding WARNING! DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITORS For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitors in the inverter power supply circuit board. When replacing or checking parts, remove the power plug from the outlet and short the inverter output terminal of the magnetron filament terminals to the chassis ground with an insulated handle screwdriver to discharge.

NOTE: Ground any static electric built up on your body before handling the DPC. 1. Disconnect all connectors from the DPC. 2. Remove the four screws holding the escutcheon base and slide the escutcheon base upward slightly. removal is easier with the door open.
Page 29
9.4. Low voltage transformer and/or power relays Note Be sure to ground your body to discharge any static before handling the DPC. 1. Using a solder wick or a de soldering tool and a 30W soldering iron, carefully remove all solder from the terminal pins of the low voltage transformer and/or power relays.
