Important Product Information
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.
Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be
serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary:
• 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
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.
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.
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.
WARNING
!
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or
death; verify earthing instructions are followed.
Earthing Instructions
WARNING
!
Do not remove earthing prong when installing earthed
appliance in a home or business that does not have
three wire earthing receptacle, under no condition is
earthing prong to be cut off or removed. It is the
personal responsibility of the consumer to contact a
qualified electrician and have properly earthed three
prong wall receptacle installed in accordance with
appropriate electrical codes
Should a two prong adapter plug be required temporarily
it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with properly earthed three prong receptacle or
the two prong adapter properly earthed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with appropriate electrical
codes.
Servicing of Earthed Products
The standard accepted color coding for earthing wires is
GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. These
earth leads are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. It is extremely important that the technician
replace any and all earths prior to completion of the
service call. Under no condition should earth wire be left
off causing a potential hazard to technicians and
consumer.

Product Information
Stirrer Blade
Distributes microwave energy throughout the cavity.
Blower/Fan Assembly
Circulates cooling air throughout the convection or
microwave oven compartment and cavity.
Stirrer Cover
Covers and protects the stirrer blade assembly.
Door Interlock and Monitoring Switch
NOTE: When the line fuse is blown the Interlock Switch
Assembly must be replaced.
Interlock switch (assembly) mounts behind oven cavity
front bulkhead. It is actuated by door hook and guide
attached to the door.
Monitoring switch (contacts 7 and 8) is actuated by the
door guide.
The secondary interlock switch (contacts 2 and 3) and
primary interlock switch (contacts 4 and 5) are actuated
by the door hook.
The secondary interlock switch is in series with the
interlock monitoring switch in the monitor circuit.
If a malfunction occurs in the secondary interlock when
door opens, current will flow through the monitor switch
causing the oven fuse to open.
If a faulty door interlock switch has allowed current
through the monitor switch, the switch assembly must be
replaced (see interlock switch testing) before replacing
fuse.
Transformer High Voltage
High voltage transformer is used in this unit, which
supplies high voltage A.C. for operation of the
magnetron tube.
High Voltage Capacitor
Doubles the A.C. output voltage from the high voltage
transformer.
High Voltage Diode (Rectifier)
Is connected at the output side of the high voltage
capacitor. It changes voltage from A.C. to D.C. It
passes current in one direction and blocks it in the other.
Also called a rectifier.
Magnetron
With filament voltage and high D.C. voltage from the
output of the H.V. capacitor, diode junction the
magnetron will put out an electomagnetic radio
frequency of 2450 MHz to heat the food load in the
oven.
Thermal Protectors
At a predetermined temperature the thermal cut-outs will
open or close. The oven will indicate an error code in the
display, initiate cooling fan operation, or prevent the
generation of microwave energy.
• Magnetron thermal cut-out is mounted directly on the
body of the magnetron
• Fan thermal cut-out is mounted directly on the
exhaust duct
• Control thermal cut-out is mounted directly on the
heater box
DANGER
!
To avoid severe personal injury or death avoid
contacting any high voltage parts. The capacitors are
at high voltage (4000 volt) potential and it is extremely
important that they be grounded before handling.

• Menumaster power test kit M95D5, Centigrade.
1. Place one rack in the oven using lowest rack position.
2. Fill the plastic container to the bottom of the 1000 ml. lines with cool tap water.
3. Using the thermometer; Fahrenheit or Centigrade, stir the water, measure and record the water temperature.
IMPORTANT: Initial water temperature should be approximately 20°C (60°F).
4. Place the container on the center of the oven rack and heat the water for 62 seconds.
a. Close the door.
b. Press Hidden Pad, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
c. Press 3 to activate microwave mode.
d. Display counts up to 62 seconds, and unit shuts off.
e. Open the door.
5. Stir the water, measure and record the temperature of the water after heating time is completed.
6. Subtract the starting water temperature (Step 3) from the ending water temperature (Step 5) to obtain the
temperature rise.
7. Refer to the Temperature Chart.
NOTES:•The IEC-705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment. It is not practical to
perform the IEC test in the field. To convert the traditional power test results to the approximate
IEC-705 rating, take the traditional power test results and add 100 watts per magnetron for the
unit being tested.
Example: 900 watts output using the traditional power test for model ACE530
+ 100 watts (100 watts X each magnetron)
1000 Approximate IEC-705 results
•Always perform power test three times for accuracy, changing the water after each test is
performed.
•Variation or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise. Additional
power tests should be made if temperature rise appears marginal.
•Low line voltage will cause lower temperature rise.

Microwave Leakage Test
WARNING
!
Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should the
leakage be more than 4mW/cm2 inform Amana
immediately. After repairing or replacing any radiation
safety device, keep a written record for future
reference, as required by D.H.H.S. and HEW
regulations. This requirement must be strictly
observed. In addition, the leakage reading must be
recorded on the service repair ticket while at the
customer’s location.
Equipment
• Electromagnetic radiation monitor
• 600 cc glass beaker
Procedure For Measuring Radiation
Leakage
Note before measuring -
• 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 assembly oven (before the latch
switch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the door,
4mW/cm2 or less.
Measurement With the Outer Case
Removed
DANGER
!
To avoid risk of personal injury or death avoid
contacting any high voltage components.
Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure for
radiation leakage before the outer case is installed and
after all necessary components are replaced or
adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring
around the magnetron.
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.
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.
1. Open the oven door and verify that there is only one
rack in place on the bottom rack hooks.
2 . Pour 275 ± 15 cc (9 oz ± 1/2 oz) of 20 ± 5°C. (68±
9°F.) water in a glass beaker which is graduated to
600 cc and place the beaker in the center of rack.
3. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use it
following the manufacturer’s recommended test
procedure to assure correct results.
4. While measuring the leakage, always use the two
inch (5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
5. 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.
