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
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 circuitry on the digital programmer circuit since static electric discharge may

damage this control panel.
Always touch yourself ground while working on this panel to discharge any static charge built up in your
body.

CONDITION

The oven

does not work.

Inserting many plug into one
plug outlet and using
them at the same time 
(causes overloading).

The oven plug is not inserted

tightly.

Output power is too low.

Low AC input voltage.

Food temperature is too low.

Using metallic ware and
allowing it to touch the oven
wall.

Sparks occurring.

Inconsistent intensity of
microwave by their
characteristics.

1. Wrap the thinner part with

aluminum foil.

2. Use plastic wrap or lid.
3. Stir once or twice while

cooking soup, cocoa or
milk, etc.

Uneven cooking.

Ceramic ware trimmed in
gold or silver powder is used.

Avoid using other electrical
appliances when you use
the oven.

Insert the oven plug securely.

Use the oven at adequate
line voltage.

This may not be a defect.
It is possible that the food
should be cooked for a
longer time period.

Do not use metallic ware for
cooking except where noted
in the cooking guide.

Do not use any type of
cookware with metallic
trimming.
