CAUTIONS
• Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven
is operative prior to servicing.
• The service personnel should inform the manufacture importer, or
assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission
level in excess of 5 mW/cm
2
and should repair any unit found to have excessive
emission levels at no cost to the owner and should ascertain the cause of the
excessive leakage. The service personnel should instruct the owner not to use
the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
• If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
- Contact the manufacturer.
• The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave
leakage.
• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the
microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed
5 mW/cm
2
. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for
operating personnel from radiation leakage.
MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE
• Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to
600 cc, and place the beaker on the center of the turntable.
• Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and use it following the
manufacturer's recommended test procedure to assure correct result.
• When measuring the leakage, always use the 2- inch (5cm) spacer supplied
with the probe.
• Operate the oven at its maximum output.
• Measure the microwave radiation using and electromagnetic radiation
monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured
Move probe along shaded area
Probe scanning speed
Less than 2.5 cm/sec
