1. Inverter Warning The inverter board looks like a regular PCB, however, this PCB drives the magnetron tube using very high voltages and current. It has 1. Very high voltage and high current 2. An Aluminium heat sink that becomes very hot 3.
6. Wiring Diagram 7. Description of Operating instruction 7.1. Variable power cooking control The HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY controls the output power by a signal from the digital Programmer circuit DPC. The power relay (RY1) turns on to supply power to the inverter circuit.
Note: After auto cooking if the oven temperature is over the predetermined temperature the fan motor rotates to cool the oven and its components. Auto Weight Defrost NN-A880WB NN-A850WB NN-A880CB Category 1st Touch Cooking Weight...
power relay RY5 resulting in the convection heater turning on. Note: After the convection process, if the oven temperature is higher than the predetermined temperature, the fan motor rotates to cool the electronic components and the oven. Figure 1 Convection Cooking Duty Cycles 7.5.

grounded. It is imperative, therefore, to ensure the appliance is properly grounded before beginning repair work. 8.2. Inverter Warnings DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HOT/LINE) OF THE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U) This high voltage inverter power supply handles very high voltage and very high current for the magnetron tube.

Inverter Grounding WARNING! DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITORS For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitors in the inverter power supply circuit board. When replacing or checking parts, remove the power plug from the outlet and short the inverter output terminal of the magnetron filament terminals to the chassis ground with an insulated handle screwdriver to discharge.
