GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE

A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. Operating

the oven with no load may shorten the life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry foods (dried fish, bread, etc.) or a small amount of food, be sure to put a glass of water into the cooking compartment. The glass turntable may become hot after operating, be careful when touching it.

B. Aluminum foil should be avoided because it will

disrupt cooking and may cause arcing. However, small pieces may be used to cover some parts of food to slow the cooking. Any aluminum foil used should never be closer than 2.5 cm to any side wall of the oven.

TRIAL OPERATION

After installation, the following sequences and results should be checked carefully.

A. Put a container filled with water (about 1 liter) into

the oven, and close the door tightly.

B. Set cooking time for 10 minutes by touching “1”

and then “0” three times. “1, 0, 0, 0” appears in the display window.

C. Touch the START key.

Make sure the cavity light comes on. The unit will

begin cooking and the display window will show the

time counting down by seconds.

D. After about 5 minutes, make sure the primary

interlock switch, the secondary interlock switch and

the interlock monitor switch operate properly by

opening and closing the door several times. Touch

the START key each time the door is closed.

E. Continue operating the unit. Two short and a long

beep sound signal is heard when the time is up.

The unit will shut off automatically. F. Confirm the water is hot. G. Finally, measure the output power according to

“POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT” on page 7-3.

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES

A. The safety systems incorporated in this model are:

(1) Primary interlock switch (2) Secondary interlock switch (3) Interlock monitor switch (4) Choke system (5) Magnetron thermal fuse (6) Oven cavity thermostat

(Note: This thermostat located on the oven

cavity will open and stop the unit from operation only if a high temperature is reached, such as, a fire created by overcooking food.)

B. Any one of 10 power output levels ranging 95W to

950W can be selected by the touch control and electronic computer system.

C. The temperature probe enables accurate control of

cooking temperature and results (If provided.).

D. Three different cooking stages can be set. The

oven remembers three cooking stages and changes from one cooking stage to another. This is made possible with the memory function of the microprocessor. This cooking process can be set after Auto Defrost is set.

(1) After adjustment and repair of any microwave

energy interruption or microwave energy blocking device, record the measured values for future reference. Also enter the information on the service invoice.

(2) Should the microwave energy leakage not be

more than 2 mW/cm2after determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning properly and genuine replacement parts which are listed in this manual have been used.

(3) At least once a year, have the electromagnetic

energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by its manufacturer.

(1)

Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.

(2)

The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of

1/8” (3 mm) and an outside diameter of approximately 7.6” (190mm).

(3)

The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start of the test.

(4)

The initial temperature (T1) of the water is (10±2)°C (50°F) It is measured immediately before the water is added to the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel, the load is immediately placed on the center of the turntable which is in the lowest position and the microwave power switched on.

(5)

The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by a value ∆ T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is the time in seconds and ∆T is the temperature rise. The initial and final water temperatures are selected so that the maximum difference between the final water temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°K.

(6)

The microwave power output P in watts is calculated from the following formula :

4187 x (∆T)

is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up time is not included. (about 3 sec)

(7)

The water is stirred to equalize temperature throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final water temperature.

(8)
