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 the air (coming from the intake on the base­plate).

• 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 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 relay2 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/cm

2

and 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.

• 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
