5. Alignment and Adjustments PRECAUTION 1. High voltage is present at the high voltage terminals during any cook cycle. 2. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the high voltage. 3. Before touching any oven components or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the high voltage capacitor.
