REMOVING THE HALOGEN LAMP
& THE LAMP TRANSFORMER
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect power before servicing.
Replace all parts and panels before
operating.
Failure to do so can result in death or
electrical shock.
WARNING
1. Unplug microwave oven or disconnect
power.
2. Remove the microwave oven from its
mounting location.
3. Remove the top cover from the microwave
(see steps 3 and 4 on page 4-2 for the
procedure).
4. CAUTION: Discharge the high voltage
capacitor using a 20,000 Ω resistor from
the terminals to chassis ground.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you remove and
replace the halogen lamp, be very careful not
to allow the reflector and lens (shown below),
to slide under the top floor of the microwave
oven (these two items are loose once the
halogen bulb is removed). If they are allowed to
slide under the top floor, they may be difficult to
locate.
