INVERTER UNIT, THAT INCLUDES HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR, HIGH VOLTAGE POWER TRANSFORMER, HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER, HEAT SINK ETC., AND MAGNETRON, HIGH VOLTAGE HARNESS ETC..
Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (USA) A. Requirements: 1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm 2 at any point 5 cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
Basic Information Microwave Measurement Procedure (Canada) After adjustment of the door switches are completed individually or collectively, switch test and microwave leakage test must be performed with survey instrument and test result must be confirmed to meet the requirement of the performance standard for microwave ovens as under mentioned.
Basic Information Grounding Instructions 3-Pronged Plug Grounded Receptacle Box This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of Grounding Pin electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric...

Operation AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING CONDITION The relationship between the convection and microwave power operations are as follows. Touch HIGH MIX/ROAST or LOW MIX/BAKE pad first. Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER pads. The LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 325°F with 10% microwave power, while the The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is preprogrammed for 300°F with...
Operation SENSOR COOKING CONDITION COOKING SEQUENCE 1. Touch SENSOR COOK pad. Using the SENSOR COOK function, the foods are cooked without figuring time, power level or quantity. NOTE: The oven should not be operated on SENSOR When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it immediately after plugging in the unit.

Operation COMPU BROIL/ COMPU ROAST/ COMPU BAKE 2. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference between the first voltage measured (in step 1) and COMPU BROIL/ ROAST/ BAKE will automatically the voltage measured when the procedure is compute the oven temperature, microwave power and repeated (step 2) is greater than 300mV the LSI cooking time for baking, roasting and broiling.
Operation MONITOR SWITCH Component Descriptions The monitor switch is mounted on the middle position of DOOR SENSING AND PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH latch hook. It is activated (the contacts opened) by the The door sensing switch, in the third door switch system lower latch head while the door is closed.
Operation MAGNETRON THERMAL CUT-OUT Humidity Sensor Circuit The thermal cut-out, located on the waveguide, is (1) Structure of Absolute Humidity Sensor: designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over The absolute humidity sensor includes two heated condition develops in the magnetron due to thermistors as shown in the illustration.

Operation Damper Operation 1. When power supply cord is plugged in: A. When power supply cord is plugged in, a signal is sensed in the control unit, and operates shut-off DAMPER SHAFT relay (RY4). B. Contacts of shut-off relay (RY4) close, the damper motor is energized, opening the damper door.
Troubleshooting and Testing Troubleshooting Guide When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks. Many of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure “section.

Troubleshooting and Testing Test Procedures Procedure Component Test Letter MAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE TOUCHING ANY OVEN COMPONENTS OR WIRING. To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check across the magnetron filament leads should indicate less than 1 ohm.
