Important Product Information  
!
WARNING  
To avoid risk of electrical shock, injury or death, make  
sure these grounding instructions are followed.  
!
WARNING  
Precautions to be observed before and during  
servicing to avoid possible exposure to excessive  
microwave energy or electrical shock, disconnect  
power to oven.  
Grounding Instructions  
(A) Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with  
door open.  
!
WARNING  
(B) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to  
be serviced before activating the magnetron or  
other microwave source, and make repairs as  
necessary:  
Do not remove grounding prong when installing  
grounded appliance in a home or business that does  
not have three wire grounding receptacle. Under no  
condition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed.  
It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to  
contact a qualified electrician and have a properly  
grounded three prong wall receptacle installed in  
accordance with appropriate electrical codes  
• Interlock operation  
• Proper door closing  
• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and  
other damage)  
• Damage to or loosening of hinges and latches  
• Evidence of dropping or abuse  
(C) Before turning on microwave power for any  
service test or inspection within the microwave  
generating compartments, check the magnetron,  
waveguide or transmission line, and cavity for  
proper alignment, integrity, and connections.  
Servicing of Grounded Products  
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.  
(D) Any failed or misadjusted components in the  
interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave  
generation and transmission systems shall be  
repaired, replaced or adjusted by procedures  
described in this manual before oven is released  
to the consumer.  
(E) Check microwave leakage to verify compliance  
with the federal performance standard should be  
performed on each oven prior to release to the  
consumer.  
Wiring  
Good service practice is to never route wiring over  
terminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any  
wiring without regard to the circuit voltage. Wire  
insulation material and thickness is designed and  
regulated for electrical spacing purpose only, but  
cannot always be relied upon because of possible cuts  
and/or abrasions, which can occur during servicing.

Important Safety Information  
7. In the area of the transformer, capacitor, diode, and  
magnetron there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When the unit  
is operating - keep this area clean and free of  
anything which could possibly cause an arc or  
ground, etc.  
!
CAUTION  
Read the following information to avoid possible  
exposure to microwave radiation:  
8. Do not for any reason defeat the interlock switches,  
there is no valid reason for this action at any time;  
nor will it be condoned by Maytag.  
The basic design of the Maytag 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:  
9. IMPORTANT: Before returning a microwave to a  
customer, check for proper switch interlock action.  
The primary and secondary switches MUST open  
when the door is actuated. The monitor switch  
MUST close at a 1/4 inch when the door is opened.  
10.Before returning a microwave to a customer, verify  
the door spacing is reasonably uniform along the  
top, bottom, and sides and that it measures 1/8 inch  
or less.  
1. Always operate the unit from an adequately  
grounded outlet. Do not operate on a two-wire  
extension cord.  
2. Before servicing the unit (if unit is operable) perform  
the microwave leakage test.  
3. The oven should never be operated if the door does  
not fit properly against the seal; the hinges or hinge  
bearings are damaged or broken; the choke is  
damaged, (pieces missing, etc.); or any other visible  
damage can be noted. Check the choke area to  
ensure that this area is clean and free of all foreign  
matter.  
4. If the oven operates with the door open and  
produces microwave energy, take the following  
steps.  
11. The Maytag microwave oven should never be operated  
with:  
• Any components removed and/or bypassed.  
• Any of the safety interlocks are found to be  
failed.  
• Any of the seal surfaces are defective, missing,  
or damaged.  
12.To ensure that the unit does not emit excessive  
microwave leakage and to meet the Department of  
Health Human Service guidelines, check the oven  
for microwave leakage using Narda Model 8110B,  
Holaday HI-1501, HI-1510, and HI-1710 leakage  
monitor as outlined in the instructions. The  
maximum leakage level allowed is 4mW/cm2.  
13.If servicer encounters an emission reading over  
4mw/cm2 the servicer is to cease repair and contact  
the Maytag Service Department immediately for  
further direction. Maytag will contact the proper  
GovernmentAgency upon verification of the test  
results.  
A. Tell the user not to operate the oven.  
B. Contact Maytag immediately.  
5. Always have the oven disconnected when the outer  
case is removed except when making the "live" tests  
called for in the Service Manual. Do not reach into  
the equipment area while the unit is energized.  
Make all connections for the test and check them for  
tightness before plugging the cord into the outlet.  
6. Always ground the capacitors on the magnetron filter  
box and H. V. Capacitor with an insulated-handle  
screwdriver before working in the high voltage area  
of the equipment compartment. Some types of  
failures will leave a charge in these capacitors and  
the discharge could cause a reflex action which  
could make you injure yourself.

Microwave Leakage Testing  
Measurement With the Outer Panel  
Removed  
!
WARNING  
Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the  
leakage be more than 4mW/cm2 inform Maytag  
immediately. After repairing or replacing any radiation  
safety device, keep a written record for future  
DANGER  
Avoid contacting any high voltage components.  
!
reference, as required by DHHS and HEW regulations.  
This requirement must be strictly observed. In addition,  
the leakage reading must be recorded on the service  
repair ticket while in the customer’s home.  
Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for  
radiation leakage before the outer panel is installed and  
after all necessary components are replaced or  
adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring  
around the magnetron.  
Equipment  
• Electromagnetic radiation monitor  
• 600 cc glass beaker  
Measurement With a Fully Assembled Oven  
After all components, including the outer panel are fully  
assembled, measure for radiation leakage around the  
door periphery, the door viewing window, the exhaust  
opening, and air inlet openings.  
Procedure For Measuring Radiation  
Leakage  
Note before measuring -  
Record Keeping and Notification After  
Measurement  
1. After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven,  
a leakage reading must be taken. Record this  
leakage reading on the repair ticket even if it is zero.  
2. A copy of the repair ticket and the microwave  
leakage reading should be kept by the repair facility.  
• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leak  
monitor should initially be set to the highest scale.  
To prevent false readings, the test probe should be  
held by the grip portion of the handle only.  
• The scan speed is equal to one inch per antenna  
revolution or one inch per second if antenna speed is  
unknown.  
• Areas to be checked are all door seal areas and any  
venting parts.  
• Leakage with the outer panel removed...4mW/cm2 or  
less.  
• Leakage for fully assembled oven with door normally  
closed ...4mW/cm2 or less.  
• Leakage for a fully assembled oven (before the latch  
switch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the  
door ... 4mW/cm2 or less.  
1 . Pour 275 ±15 cc (9 oz ±1/2 oz) of 20 ±5°C (68 ±9°F)  
water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc and  
place the beaker in the center of oven.  
2. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use it  
following the manufacturer’s recommended test  
procedure to assure correct results.  
3. While measuring the leakage, always use the 2–inch  
(5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.  
4. Press the start pad or turn on the timer and with the  
magnetron oscillating, measure the leakage by  
holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being  
measured.

Care and Cleaning  
For best performance and safety, keep the oven clean  
inside and outside. Take special care to keep the inner  
door panel and the oven front frame free of food or  
grease build-up.  
3. To reinstall the filters, slide it into the side slot, then  
push up and toward oven center to lock.  
Never use abrasive cleaners or pads. Wipe the  
microwave oven inside and out, including the hood  
bottom cover, with a soft cloth and a warm (not hot) mild  
detergent solution. Then rinse and wipe dry. Use a  
chrome cleaner and polish on chrome, metal, and  
aluminum surfaces. Wipe spatters immediately with a  
wet paper towel, especially after cooking chicken or  
bacon. Clean your oven weekly or more often, if needed.

If the oven is vented inside the room, the charcoal filter  
should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and more  
often if necessary. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned.  
To order a new charcoal filter, contact the Parts Depart-  
ment at your nearestAuthorized Service Center.  
Order Charcoal Filter Kit #: MVHRK3.
