22Important Safety Information! WARNINGRead the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation:The basic design of the Microwave Oven makes it an inherently safe device to both use and service.However, there are some precautions which should be followed when servicing the microwave to maintain thissafety. These are as follows:1. Always operate the unit from an adequatelygrounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wireextension cord.2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) performthe microwave leakage test.3. The oven should never be operated if the door doesnot fit properly against the seal, the hinges or hingebearings are damaged or broken; the choke isdamaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any othervisible damage can be noted. Check the chokearea to ensure that this area is clean and free of allforeign matter.4. If the oven operates with the door open andproduces microwave energy, take the followingsteps:A. Tell the user not to operate the oven.B. Contact ACP ComServ immediately.5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outercase is removed except when making the "live"tests called for in the Service Manual. Do notreach into the equipment area while the unit isenergized. Make all connections for the test andcheck them for tightness before plugging the cordinto the outlet.6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetronfilter box with an insulated-handle screwdriverbefore working in the high voltage area of theequipment compartment. Some types of failureswill leave a charge in these capacitors and thedischarge could cause a reflex action which couldmake you injure yourself.7. Always remember that in the area of thetransformer there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When theunit is operating keep this area clear and free ofanything which could possibly cause an arc orground, etc.8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlockswitches there is not valid reason for this actionat any time; nor will it be condoned by ACP.9. IMPORTANT: Before returning a unit to acustomer, be sure to check for proper switchinterlock action.10. The MicrowaveOvenshould neverbeoperated with any components removed and/orbypassed or when any of the safety interlocks arefound to be defective, or when any of the sealsurfaces are defective, missing, or damaged.11. All microwave ovens meet all requirementsof the radiation control for Health and Safety Act of1968. Due to measurement uncertainties, themaximum leakage for the field will be 4mw/cm2.12. To ensure that the unit does not emit excessivemicrowave leakage and to meet the Departmentof Health and Human Services guidelines, checkthe oven for microwave leakage using amicrowaveoven leakage meter that complies with USGovernment CDRH / FDA / DHHS requirementsand or any other local government requirements.The maximum leakage level allowed by ACPis 4mw/cm .13. If servicer encounters an emission reading over4mw/cm2, the servicer is to cease repair andcontact the ACP ComServ Departmentimmediately for further direction. ACPwill contact the proper GovernmentAgency upon verification of the test results.
