Important Safety Information ! WARNING Read the following information to avoid possible exposure to microwave radiation: The basic design of the Amana 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 Oven to maintain this safety. These are as follows: 1. Always operate the unit from an adequately grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord. 8.
Important Safety Information Recognize this symbol as a SAFETY message ! WARNING When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed to reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock, fire, or injury to persons. 1. READ all instructions before using equipment. 2. READ AND FOLLOW the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY”. 3. This equipment MUST BE GROUNDED. Connect only to properly GROUNDED outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS”. 4.
Important Safety Information ! CAUTION To avoid risk of personal injury or property damage, observe the following: 1. Briskly stir or pour liquids before heating with microwave energy to prevent spontaneous boiling or eruption. Do not overheat. If air is not mixed into a liquid, liquid can erupt in oven or after removal from oven. 7. Do not use regular cooking thermometers in oven. Most cooking thermometers contain mercury and may cause an electrical arc, malfunction, or damage to oven. 8.
Important Safety Information ! Grounding Instructions WARNING Precautions to be observed before and during servicing to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy, or electrical shock disconnect power to oven. • Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with door open.
Important Safety Information Servicing of Grounded Products Explanation The standard accepted color coding for grounding wires is GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These ground leads are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors. It is extremely important that the technician replace any and all grounds prior to completion of the service call. Under no condition should ground wire be left off causing a potential hazard to technicians and consumer.

Service Information ! WARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power. Proper Handling of Magnetron Tubes ! CAUTION A magnetron tube, like a radio or television tube must be handled with a reasonable amount of care. When handling a tube, always handle by the housing only. Use caution not to touch or strike the ceramic portion at the top.
Microwave Leakage Testing ! WARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power. ! Measurement with the Outer Panel Removed WARNING Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the leakage be more than 4 mW/cm2 inform Maytag immediately. After repairing or replacing any radiation safety device, keep a written record for future reference, as required by D.H.H.S.
Troubleshooting ! WARNING To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor before servicing, unless testing requires power. Operating Instructions for the Holaday HI1501, HI1510, HI1710, and HI1801 Purpose of these monitors is to check radiation leakage around microwave oven door or other places where radiation could possibly occur. Instrument measures radiation leakage in milliwatts per square centimeters (mW/cm2).
