WARNING TO SERVICE
TECHNICIANS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING
SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(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:
(1)Interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3) seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other
damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches, (5) 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, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
(d) Any defective 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 the oven is released to the owner.
(e)(i) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal performance standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner. (For U.S.A)
(e)(ii) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Canadian Regulation, HEALTH AND WELFARE,
SOR/79-920 should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner. (For CANADA)
See the Service Manual of EM-C180US(SM-640179)

PRODUCT CODE NO. 437-453-00
for Model EM-C160
Microwave Oven
FORM # EM-C160 (02/05)
CAUTION
For microwave energy emission
On every service call. A check for micro-
wave energy emission must be made
according to the following manner.
Measurement of energy emission
Measurement must be made with the microwave oven
operating at its maximum output and containing a load
of 275±15 milliliters of tap water initially at 20°±5°
In the area emitting the highest reading, switch the
meter to SLOW RESPONSE and take a reading for
minimum of three (3) seconds. We recommended the
pattern outline shown below when the door surface is
surveyed.
NOTE: Periodically check to be sure that the probe tip
is not worn or dirty.
The following U.S. standard applies to microwave ovens:
celsius (689°F) placed within the cavity at the center.
NOTE:The water container m ust be a 600 milliliter bea-
ker and made of an electrically none conductive material such as glass or plastic.
The cook tray must be in place when measuring
emission.
A properly operating door and seal assembly will normally register emission no greater than 4 mW/cm2 to
allow for measurement uncertainty with the cooking
shelf or tray in place.
All repairs must be performed in such a
manner that microwave energy emission
is minimal.
Follow the instructions supplied with the detector being used and perform an R.F. emission test around the
door front, and all edges and vent of the outer case.
The cabinet (wrapper) must be in place and the oven
fully assembled.
When performing an emission survey, with the meter
on FAST RESPONCE, the movement of the detector
probe shall not exceed one (1) inch per second.
21 CFR 1030.10, Perf ormance Standard f or Microw a v e
Ovens.
It requires that the power density of the microwave
radiation emitted by a microwave oven shall not exceed five (5) milliwatts per square centimeter at any
point 5 centimeters (about 2 inches) or more from the
external surface of the oven.
All microwave ovens exceeding the emission level of 4
mW/cm2 must be reported to Dept. of Service for microwave ovens and the manufacturer immediately .
The owner should be told not to use the microwave
oven until it has been repaired completely.
If a microwave oven is found to operate with the door
open, report to Dept. of Service, the manufacturer and
CDRH* immediately. Also tell the owner not to use the
oven.
*CDRH: Center for Device and Radiological Health.
The interlock monitor switch acts as the final safety
switch protecting the customer from microwave radiation. If the interlock monitor switch operates properly
and the door interlock switch fails, the fuse will blow.
If this happens, all interlock switches must be replaced.
The contacts of the interlock switches may be welded
together.

2. PO WER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT
NOTE: The power output specification, 1600W on this
model is measured with IEC measurement. The power
output is measured with two(2) liters water is equivalent to 1600W in measurement with IEC, when measured with the following power output.
(1)1. Fill two beakers, one liter of tap water respec tively
2. Use an accurate thermometer and measure each
water temperature respectively.
(2) Place beakers side by side in center of the
ceramic tray.
(3) Close the door,set the “TIME” for two minutes.
Touch the “START” key and heat the water for
exactly two minutes.
(4)Take the beakers out, immediately stir the water
and measure the water temperatures respectively.
(5) Calculate the temperature rise of water in each
beaker . Then calculate the average value of the two
temperature rises.(Ģt)
(6) The teperature rise shall be in the following range;
Average Temp. Rise
Minimum 20.5°C
Maximum 25.1°C
Po w er output is affected by the line voltage under load.
(7) For correct Power output measurement, the line
voltage under load must be 208±2 Volts.
