2.15 Process for discharging the capacitors:
Tools required
Capacitor Discharge Probe
Insulated Gloves
Voltage tester—Checker
Process for carrying out modification / change:
1. Cool down the oven then isolate from the mains supply by
disconnecting the plug and fitting a suitable ‘locking off’ device or
locking in the off position the isolation switch if the oven is hard
wired. Ensure your proprietary voltage tester is working correctly
and prove the mains supply is dead
2. Wait 5 Minutes to allow the Capacitor to
naturally discharge its energy.
It is recommended that you stand on
electrically safe matting where possible.
§ Remove the lid and side panels to
access the oven components
§ Connect the Capacitor Discharge
Probe’s Earth clip to the Equipotential
Bonding point at the rear of the oven
3. Hold the probe against the HV capacitor
terminal for 5 seconds, removing any covers
to do so. Repeat on the other set of terminals
on the same capacitor. Repeat this process
on both HV Capacitors with twin magnetrons.
Note: the above picture shows the Merrychef
Approved Capacitor Discharge Tool
4. Re-test your proprietary voltage tester is working
correctly and test to ensure the capacitor is discharged
(dead) at the magnetron(s) and the HV Transformer(s).
CAUTION: To ensure safety, this must be repeated
every time the oven is worked on.
