IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: THE SHADED AREAS ON THIS SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM INCORPORATE SPECIAL FEATURES

IMPORTANT FOR PROTECTION FROM MICROWAVE RADIATION, FIRE, ELECTRICAL SHOCK, AND

HAZARDS. WHEN SERVICING IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ONLY MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFIED PARTS

BE USED FOR THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN THE SHADED AREAS OF THE SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM.

NOTICE: SINCE THIS IS BASIC SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM, THE VALUES OF COMPONENTS AND

SOME PARTIAL CONNECTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE FOR IMPROVEMENT.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DETAILS

• The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary voltage to the micom controller when power cord is plugged in.

• When the door is closed, the primary switch is ON, the

secondary switch is ON, and the monitor switch opens (contact COM and NO).

WHEN SELECTING COOKING POWER LEVEL AND TIME

• The micom controller memorizes the function you set.

• The time you set appears in the display window.

• Each indicator light turns on to indicate that the stage

has been set.

WHEN TOUCHING THE START PAD

• The coil of the relay is energized by the micom

controller.

• Power input is supplied to the high voltage transformer

through the fuse to the primary switch and relay 2.

• Turntable rotates.

• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by

blowing air (coming from the intake on the base-plate).

• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the

vapor in the oven through the upper plate.

• Cooking time starts counting down.

• 3.3 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of

the high voltage transformer. This 3.3 volts is applied to the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through two noise-preventing choke coils.

• A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is generated in the secondary of the high voltage transformer which is increased by the action of the high voltage diode and charging of the high voltage capacitor.

• The negative 4,000 Volts DC is applied to the filament of the magnetron.

WHEN THE OVEN IS SET AT ANY LEVEL EXCEPT MAXIMUM.

• The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of relay 2 by the applied signal to vary the average output power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL. (refer to page 1-1)

• One complete cycle of the relay 2 is 22 seconds.

WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING COOKING

• Both the primary switch and relay 2 cut off the primary winding voltage of the high voltage transformer.

• ON-OFF of relay 2 is coupled electrically with opening and closing of the secondary switch.

• When the door is opened, the secondary switch is opened and when the door is closed, the secondary switch is closed.

• The cooking time stops counting down.

• Relay stops functioning.

• As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch and relay 2 and/or secondary switch fail to open, the fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by the monitor switch activation, which, in turn, stops magnetron oscillation.

CAUTIONS

• Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing.

• The service personnel should inform the manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5 mW/cm2and should repair any

unit found to have excessive emission levels at no cost to the owner and should ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage. The service personnel should instruct the owner not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.

• If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should:

- Tell the user not to operate the oven.

- Contact the manufacturer and CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)

immediately.

• The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave leakage.

• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 4 mW/cm2. Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.

MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

• Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C (68±9°F) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker on the center of the turntable.

• Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer's recommended test procedure to assure correct result.

• When measuring the leakage, always use the 2-inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

• Operate the oven at its maximum output.

• Measure the microwave radiation using and

electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured

Move probe along shaded area
