IMPORT ANT SAFETY NOTICE
This information is intended for use by individuals possessing adequate backgrounds of electrical, electronic and mechanical experience. Any attempt to repair a major appliance may result
in personal injury and property damage. The manufacturer or seller cannot be responsible for
the interpretation of this information, nor can it assume any liability in connection with its use.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING
IMPORTANT - RECONNECT ALL GROUNDING DEVICES
All parts of this appliance capable of conducting electrical current are grounded. If grounding wires, screws, straps,
clips, nuts or washers used to complete a path to ground are removed for service, they must be returned to their
original position and properly fastened.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED
BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
A. A microwave emission check should be per formed prior to servicing if the oven is operative.
B. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated
with the door open.
C. If the oven operates with the door open:
I ) Instruct the user not to operate the oven and
2) contact the manufacturer and the Center for
Devices and Radiological Health immediately .
D. 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
E. 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.
F. Any defective or misadjusted components in the
interlock, monitor , door seal, and microwave
generation and transmission systems shall be
repaired, replaced or adjusted by procedure
described in this manual before the oven is
released to the owner.
G. A microwave leakage check to verify compli ance with the federal performance standard
should be performed on each oven prior to
release to the owner .
MICROW AVE LEAKAGE TEST
I . Place 275 ml. water in 600 ml. beaker
(WB64X5010).
2. Place beaker in center of oven shelf.
3. Set meter to 2450 MHz scale.
4. Turn oven "ON" for 5 minute test.
5. Hold probe perpendicular to surface being tested
and scan surfaces at rate of one inch/second. Test
following areas:
•Entire perimeter of door and control panel
•Viewing surface of door window
•Exhaust vents
6. Maximum leakage 4MW/CM2.
7. Record date on service invoice and microwave
leakage report.
NOTE: MAXIMUM ALLOW ABLE LEAKAGE
IS 5MW/CM2. 4MW/CM2 IS USED TO ALLOW FOR MEASUREMENT AND METER
ACCURACY.
Inform the manufacturer of any oven found to have
emission in excess of 5MW/CM2 Make repairs to bring
the unit into compliance at no cost to owner and try to
determine cause. Instruct owner not to use oven until
it has been brought into compliance.

KEYP ANEL TEST
If necessary the key panel pads can be verified by a continutity test. For ease of handling the key
panel should be removed and placed on a flat surface.
A complete new redesign 1.4 and 1.6 cu. ft. Spacemaker is
being introduced in the model line.
The most significant change is in the control and the
enlarged cavity size. It now has a scrolling message on the
control and the cavity has been increased to 1.4 and
1.6cu.ft. The JVM1660 has 1.6 cu. ft., the JVM1460 is 1.4
cu. ft., another feature has been added for the
JVM1660,
rated at 1000 watts vs 950 watts for the JVM1460.
The Spacemaker is supported by a special bracket assembly
(mounting system) supplied with the oven. The bracket
assembly must be mounted to the wall with toggle bolts
through the wall, and a lag screw into a wall stud. The unit
is mounted to four tabs on lower mounting plate. Four bolts
are run down through the kitchen cabinet bottom and into the
oven case to pull the oven up against the bottom of the
kitchen cabinet.
NOTE: For easier removal and personal safety it is recommended that two people remove this product.
CAUTION!
The mounting surface must be capable of supporting the
cabinet load, in addition to the72 pound product, plus additional loads of up to 50 pounds or a total weight of 122
pounds. This product cannot be installed to cabinet arrangements such as an island or peninsula. It must be mounted to
both a top cabinet and wall.

1. Touch COOK.
2. Select food type , see guide.
3. Enter weight in ounces.
4. Touch START.
NOTE: To display the food type and remaining cooking
time, touch the COOK pad.
SENSOR COOKING FEA TURES
(JVM MODELS ONLY)
Note: Don't use metal shelf with Sensor
Cooking.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the sensor assisted cooking codes, the foods are
cooked without calculating time, power level or quantity .
When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays
the information to the microprocessor which will calculate the
remaining cooking time and power level needed for best
results. When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed.
The sensor "senses" the vapor and its resistance increases
gradually . When the resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and entered into the microprocessor . An example of how the sensor works: (POTATOES)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. V apor is emitted very
slowly.
2. Heated potatoes. Moisture and humidity are emitted
rapidly.
3. The sensor detects the moisture and humidity and calculates cooking time and variable power.
SENSOR COOKING PREFERENCE CONTROL
When using the sensor assisted cooking codes, except for
CANNED VEG and FROZEN VEG, it is possible to adjust the
oven cooking time by 10%.
T o Use Sensor Cooking Preference Control:
- By immediately touching the number I pad after touching a
sensor assisted pad the oven will turn off 10% sooner.
- By pressing the number 9 pad after touching a sensor
assisted pad the oven will cook 10% longer.
BEVERAGE
This instant on pad reheats beverages by sensing the
steam with the sensor system.
NOTE: Maximum heating time is 4: 00, preference
control not available on beverage pad.
