8 Description of Operating instruction
8.1. Variable power cooking control
The HIGH VOLTAGE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY controls the output power by a signal from the digital Programmer circuit DPC. The power relay (RY1) turns on to supply power to the inverter circuit. The level of output power is controlled by the drive signal level from the inverter circuit.
NOTE1: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the percentage of microwave power since approximately 2 seconds are required for heating the magnetron filament. NOTE: 2 If microwave cooking is over 8 minutes on HIGH power, the fan motor rotates for 1 minute after cooking to cool the oven and electrical components.
Duty cycles for microwave cooking
8.2. Grill Cooking
The digital programmer circuit controls the grill power by oper­ating the power relay RY4 in the sequence shown in the table below
Duty cycles for Grill Cooking
8.3. Auto weight defrost, Auto weight Cook
When an auto control feature is selected and the start pad pressed:
1. The digital programmer circuit determines the power level and the cooking time and indicates the operating state in the display. The table shows the corresponding cooking times for each category and its respective weight.
2. When the cooking time in the display window has elapsed, the oven turns off automatically via the control signal from the digital programmer circuit.
Note: After auto cooking if the oven temperature is over the predetermined temperature the fan motor rotates to cool the oven and its components.

8.4. Convection Cooking
1. The digital programmer circuit operates the power relays
RY3,RY5 and RY6 in the sequence as shown in the figure below.
2. When the oven reaches a predetermined temperature the
digital programmer circuit stops supplying power to relay RY5, resulting in the convection heater turning off.
3. When the temperature drops below the predetermined
temperature, the digital programmer circuit supplies power to power relay RY5 resulting in the convection heater turning on. Note: After the convection process, if the oven tempera­ture is higher than the predetermined temperature, the fan motor rotates to cool the electronic components and the oven.

8.5. Combination Cooking
Combination cooking is achieved by operating the microwave and heater modes together during one cooking cycle. There are three combination modes.
1. Combination (convection and microwave)
2. Combination (grill and microwave)
3. Combination (grill, convection and microwave) The digital programmer circuit operates the power relays as shown in the figures below.
When the oven temperature reaches the predetermined tem­perature, the digital programmer circuit stops supplying power to relay (RY5) resulting in the convection heater turning off. During this time the digital programmer circuit continues to operate relay (RY1) so that microwave activity continues at the duty cycle selected. The inverter control signal level is also maintained. The microwave activity continues to cycle until the entire cooking program is completed.
When the oven temperature drops below the selected tempera­ture, the digital programmer circuit operates power relay (RY5) switching on the heater elements.
In the case of grill combination the sequence applies with the digital programmer circuit switching power relay (RY4) to con­trol, the grill elements.
With convection, grill and micro power combination. The grill elements and convection elements are operated alternatively whilst the oven temperature is above the selected level.

8.6. One touch Auto sensor cooking
Auto sensor cook is a revolutionary way to cook by microwave without setting a power level or selecting a time. All that is nec­essary is to select an auto sensor program before starting to cook.
Understanding Auto sensor cooking
As food cooks, a certain amount of steam is produced. If the food is covered, this steam builds up and eventually escapes from the container. In auto sensor cooking, a carefully designed instrument, called the humidity sensor element, senses the escape of steam. then, based upon the auto sensor program selected, the unit will automatically determine the correct power level and the proper length of time it will take to cook the food.
NOTE: Auto sensor cooking is successful with the foods and recipes found in the auto sensor cooking guide. Because of the vast differences in food composition, items not mentioned in the cooking guide should be prepared in the microwave oven using the power select and time fea­tures. Please consult variable power microwave cook book for procedures.
Explanation of the auto sensor cooking process
1. The shaded columns in figure 1 indicate when the humid­ity sensor heater is on.
2. During the 30 second period there is no microwave activ­ity. When calculating the T2 time by using the formula below, make sure this 30 seconds is subtracted from the T0 time.
3. T1 time T0 time - 30 seconds
4. T2 time when the steam escapes from the cooking con­tainer placed in the oven, the humidity sensor detects it and the microprocessor calculates the balance of cooking time. This T2 time is then shown in the display and begins counting down.
Balance of cooking (T2 time) The balance of cooking time which is called T2 time, can be calculated by the following formula.
T2 time (in sec.) = T1 time x K factor
NOTE: Remember, the T1 time starts after the start pad is tapped. The coefficient K is programmed into the micro­processor memory and they are listed in the following tables along with the P1 and P2 power.
NOTE: When “More“ or “Less” pad is selected, the K factor varies resulting in T2 time to be increased or decreased.
Calculating the T2 time
Example 1: If the t1 time is measured to be 2 minutes and 40 seconds, and the auto sensor program selected is sensor reheat. Fish (Program 4) T2 = T1 x K = 2 min. and 40 sec. X. 0.3 =48 sec.

9 Cautions to Be Observed When Troubleshooting
Unlike many other appliances, the microwave oven is a high voltage, high current device. Although it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair.
Caution
Servicemen should remove their watches whenever working close to or replacing the magnetron.
9.1. Check the grounding
Do not operate on a two wire extension cord. The microwave oven is designed to be used when grounded. It is imperative, therefore, to ensure the appliance is properly grounded before beginning repair work.
9.2. Inverter Warnings
DANGER, HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE
(HOT/LINE) OF THE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U)
This high voltage inverter power supply handles very high voltage and very high current for the magnetron tube. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair. As you can see, it looks like a TV flyback transformer, however, the current is extremely large and is therefore, dangerous due to this high current and high voltage. The aluminium heat sink is also energized with high voltage (HOT), so do not touch when the AC input terminal is con­nected. The power devices (Collector) is directly connected to the aluminium heat sink. The aluminium heat sink may be (HOT) due to heat energy, therefore, extreme care should be taken during servicing.
WARNING FOR INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U) GROUND­ING
Check the high voltage inverter power supply circuit ground­ing. This high voltage inverter power supply circuit board must have a proper chassis ground, the inverter grounding bracket must be connected to the chassis. If the inverter board is not grounded it will expose very high voltages and cause extreme DANGER! Be sure that the inverter circuit is properly grounded via the inverter earth bracket.
HV Inverter warning
Figure 1
Page 18

WARNING! DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACI­TORS
For about 30 seconds after the oven is turned off, an elec­tric charge remains in the high voltage capacitors in the inverter power supply circuit board. When replacing or checking parts, remove the power plug from the outlet and short the inverter output terminal of the magnetron filament terminals to the chassis ground with an insulated handle screwdriver to discharge. Please be sure to touch the chassis ground side first and then short to the output terminals.
WARNING
There is high voltage present with high current capabilities in the circuits of the primary and secondary windings, choke coil and heat sink of the inverter. It is extremely dangerous to work on or near these circuits with the oven energized. DO NOT measure the voltage in the high voltage circuit including the filament voltage of the magnetron.
WARNING
Never touch any circuit wiring with your hand nor with an insulated tool during operation.

9.3. When parts must be replaced, remove the power plug from the outlet.
9.4. When the 10A fuse is blown due to the operation of the short switch:
WARNING
When the 10A 250V fuse is blown due to the operation of the short switch, the primary latch switch and short switch must be replaced. It is also important to change the power relay 1 (RY1) when the continuity test shows shorted con­tacts.
1. This is mandatory. Refer to “adjustments and measure­ments” for the location of these switches.
2. When replacing the fuse, confirm that it has the appropri­ate rating for these models.
3. When replacing faulty switches, be sure the mounting tabs are not bent, broken or deficient in their ability to hold the switches.
9.5. Avoid inserting nails, wire etc. through any holes in the unit during operation.
Never insert a wire, nail or any other metal object through the lamp holes on the cavity or any holes or gaps, because such objects may work as an antenna and cause microwave leak­age.
9.6. Confirm after repair
1. After repair or replacement of parts, make sure that the screws of the oven, etc. are neither loose nor missing. Microwaves might leak if screws are not properly tight­ened.
2. Make sure that all electrical connections are tight before inserting the plug into the wall outlet.
3. Check for microwave energy leakage. (Refer to proce­dure for measuring microwave energy leakage).
CAUTION MICROWAVE RADIATION
DO NOT BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM THE MICROWAVE GENERATOR OR OTHER PARTS CON­DUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The following components have potentials above 250V while the appliance is in operation.
• Magnetron
• High voltage transformer (Located on inverter (U))
• High voltage diodes (Located on inverter (U))
• High voltage capacitors (Located on inverter (U)) Pay special attention in these areas. When the appliance is operated with the door hinges or magnetron fixed incorrectly, the microwave leakage can
reach more than 5mW/cm

2. It is not necessary or advisable to attempt to measure this high voltage.
3. Before touching any oven components, or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the high voltage capacitors.
11.1. Primary Latch Switch, Second­ary Latch Switch and power relay B interlocks.
1. Unplug the lead connectors to power relay B and verify the continuity of the power relay B 1-2 terminals.
2. Unplug the lead connectors to the primary latch switch and secondary latch switch.
3. Test the continuity of the switches with the door open and closed with an ohm meter on the lowest scale. Normal continuity readings should be as followed.
11.2. Short Switch and Monitor Cir­cuit
1. Unplug the lead wires from the HV inverter primary termi­nals.
2. Connect the test probes of the ohm meter to these leads
3. Test the continuity of the short switch with the door open and the door closed using the lowest ohm scale.
11.3. Magnetron
Continuity checks can only indicate an open filament or a shorted magnetron. To diagnose an open filament or shorted magnetron.
1. Isolate the magnetron from the circuit by disconnecting the HV leads
2. A continuity check across the magnetron filament termi­nals should indicate one ohm or less
3. A continuity check between each filament terminal and the magnetron case should read open.
11.4. Push Button Keyboard
Check the continuity between the switch terminals, by tapping an appropriate pad on the keyboard. The keypad matrix is shown on Page 50.

11.5. Inverter Power Supply
Caution
DO NOT try to repair this inverter power supply. Replace as a whole H.V. Inverter Unit.
Inverter power supply diagram

11.6. Inverter Power Supply Unit
Warning
Do not attempt to make any measurements in the high volt­age circuitry of the inverter or magnetron.
See troubleshooting of the inverter circuit and magnetron on page 27 to determine if the inverter power supply is still func­tioning.
11.7. Temperature Sensor
A temperature sensor is mounted on the rear of the oven. The resistance reading across the thermistor should read 300K ohm within a temperature range of 10 to 30 degrees centigrade. This would be the temperature range within a kitchen environment. If the resistance measured is outside this range the thermistor is defective and should be replaced. NOTE: When measuring the resistance of the thermistor dis­connect the connector from the digital programmer circuit. NOTE: If the microwave oven has been operated allow to cool to room temperature before attempting to measure the ther­mistor resistance.
11.8. Humidity sensor and digital programmer circuit.
1. Check the resistance across the sensor heater terminals. Normal cold resistance should read approximately 4.5 ohms.
2. Check the voltage across the sensor heater terminals. It should read approximately 2.5VDC
3. In order to determine if the auto cooking by humidity sen-
sor is working, perform the following test.
1. Place a water load (150cc) in the oven.
2. Press the auto reheat panel.
3. Press the start pad
4. The humidity sensor detects steam about 2 to 4 minutes after the start pad has been pressed.
5. The auto cooking (T1) automatically switches to cooking time. (T2)
6. The remaining cooking time T2 appears in the display window. If 48s -1min 36 secs appears in the display, the humidity sensor function is normal.

12 Measurements and Adjustments
Warning
• For continued protection against radiation hazard, replace only with identical parts.
• When the 10 amp fuse is blown due to the operation of the short switch, you must replace the primary latch switch and short switch. Then follow the installation procedures below.
• Interlock switch replacement - In replacing faulty switches, be sure mounting tabs are not bent, broken or otherwise deficient in their ability to hold the switches.
• Refer to the schematic and wiring diagram to ensure proper connection
12.1. Installation of primary latch switch, secondary latch switch and short switch.
1. When mounting the primary latch switch, secondary latch switch and short switch to the door hook assembly. Fol­low the instructions in figure 1. NOTE: No specific adjustment during the installation of each switch into the door hook is necessary.
2. When mounting the door hook assembly to the oven assembly, adjust the door hook assembly by moving it in the direction of the arrow in figure 1. Ensuring the door does not have any play in it. Check for play by pulling the door assembly. Make sure that the latch keys move smoothly after adjustment is completed. Completely tighten the screws holding the door hook assembly to the oven assembly.
3. Reconnect the short switch, primary switch and second­ary latch switches and check the continuity of the monitor circuit and latch switches by following the component test procedures on page.
12.2. Measurement of microwave output
The output power of the magnetron can be determined by per­forming the IEC standard test. However, due to the complexity of the IEC test procedures, it is recommended to test the mag­netron using the simple method outlined below. Necessary equipment:
• 1 litre beaker
• Glass thermometer
• Wrist watch or stop watch NOTE: Check the line voltage under load. Low voltage will lower the magnetron output. Take the temperature readings and heating time as accurate as possible.
1. Fill the beaker with exactly one litre of tap water. Stir the water using the thermometer and record the beakers tem­perature (Recorded as T1)
2. Place the beaker on the center of the glass cook plate.
3. Stir the water again and read the temperature of the bea­ker (Recorded as T2)
4. The normal temperature rise at the high power position for each model is shown in the table. (Figure 2)
