INVERTER WARNING
This Inverter board looks like a regular PCB, however, this PCB drives the magnetron tube with extremely high voltage and high current.
IT HAS:
1: Very high voltage and high current circuit.
It functions the same as the high voltage transformer and high voltage capacitor in ordinary microwave ovens.
2. aluminium heat sink is very hot.
3. Very high voltage may remain in the circuitry even when the oven is off. High voltages may remain in the capacitors on the board.
DO NOT:
*1. Do not touch the circuitry as it becomes very hot (high voltage). Even when replacing board, extreme care should be taken to avoid
possible electric shock. High voltage may remain in the circuit.
*2. Do not touch aluminium heat sink because it is very hot in high voltage and also very hot in high heat energy.
*3. Do not try to repair the Inverter PCB as this can be very dangerous. Replace the whole High Voltage Inverter Circuit(U) unit and
return fully re-packed with the original shopping box and shipping materials.
*4. Do not try to adjust or tamper with the preset volume on the Inverter board because it is very dangerous to adjust it without proper
test equipment.
*5. Do not test oven while Inverter grounding strip or screws are loose. It is very dangerous to operate the H.V. Inverter Circuit (U) with
loose mounting screws or if improperly grounded.
