CAUTION

WARNING TO SERVICE TECHNICIANS

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE

AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE

MICROWAVE ENERGY

a. Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.

b. 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.

c. Before turning on microwave 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.

d. Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave

generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, repaired or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.

e. A Microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal performance standard should be

performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.

• Proper operation of the microwave ovens requires that the magnetron be assembled to the wave guide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.

• Be sure that the magnetron gasket is properly installed around the dome of the tube whenever installing the magnetron.

• Routine service safety procedures should be exercised at all times.

• Untrained personnel should not attempt service without a thorough review of the test procedures and safety information contained in this manual.

FOREWORD

Read this Manual carefully. Failure to adhere to or observe the information in this Manual may result in exposing yourself to the Microwave Energy normally contained within the oven cavity.

1. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy leakage, adjust the door latches and interlock switches, using the following procedure.

ADJUST THE LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSING

(3) Loosen the two screws holding the plastic latch board as

shown.

ONLY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.

The Interlock Monitor and Primary Interlock Switch act as the final safety switch protecting the user from microwave energy. The terminals between “COM” and “NC” of the Interlock Monitor must close when the door is opened. After adjusting the Interlock Monitor Switch, make sure that it is correctly connected. See Figures 1-a and 1-b throughout this procedure.

CHECK THE DOOR LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSING.

NOTE: The outer cover of the microwave oven is

removed.

(1) Set the microwave oven on its side so that you can see

the latch board and the switches, as shown in Figure 1-a.

(2) Close the door tightly and check gaps A and B to be

sure they are no more than 1/64” (0.5 mm). See Figure 1-b for close-up view of gaps A and B (door latches). If all gaps are less than 1/64” (0.5 mm), adjustment of the latch board may not be necessary. Go to Steps 5 and 6 to check the sequence of the switches.

NOTE: To correct sequence of the Primary Interlock

Switch, Secondary Interlock Switch and the Interlock Monitor Switch are very important.

If any gap is larger than 1/64” (0.5 mm), you will need to adjust the latch board-U, L. Go to step 3 and follow all steps in order.

(4) With the oven door closed tightly, move the latch board

upward toward the top of the oven and/or away from the door latch until the gaps are less than 1/64” (0.5 mm).

Hold the latch board tightly in this position until you check the sequence of the switches in steps 5 and 6.

TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE

(5) Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch and

the Primary Switch. Release Rod and Lever on the switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:

- Primary Interlock Switch

- Secondary Interlock Switch

- Interlock Monitor Switch

Adjust the latch board until the switches operate in this sequence. See Steps 3 and 4.

(6) Close the oven door slowly and be sure it is tightly

closed. Watch the three switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:

- Interlock Monitor Switch

- Primary Interlock Switch

- Secondary Interlock Switch

NOTE: The Interlock Monitor Switch is an added safety

check on the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches. If the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches allow the oven to operate with the door open, the Monitor Switch will blow the fuse.

(7) When you achieve the proper sequence of switches in

Steps 5 and 6, tighten the latch board screws at that point.

TEST THE MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

(8) Using a survey meter, make sure the microwave energy

is below 5 mW/cm.sq.

2. PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

(Figure 2)

A. Plug the power supply cord into a 120 V AC, 60 Hz,

single-phase power source with a capacity of at least 20 amperes.

B. Since the unit weights about 38 lbs, be sure to place it

on a sturdy and flat surface.

C. Avoid placing the unit in a location where there is direct

heat or splashing water.

D. Place the unit as far away as possible from TV, radio,

etc. to prevent interference.

CAUTION

This unit is equipped with a 3-pronged plug for your safety. If the wall outlet is a grounded 3-hole type, the unit will be grounded automatically.

Properly Polarized and Grounded Outlet

4. 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. Touch the STOP/CLEAR and the COOK TIME keys. C. Set cooking time for 10 minutes by touching “1”

and then “0” three times. “1000” appears in the

display window. D. 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. E. After about 5 minutes, make sure the primary interlock

switch, the secondary interlock switch and the interlock

monitor and oven lamp switch operate properly by

opening and closing the door several times. Touch the

START key each time the door is closed. F. Continue operating the unit. Four long beep sound signal

is heard when the time is up. The unit will shut off

automatically. G. Confirm the water is hot. H. Finally, measure the output power according to “POWER

OUTPUT MEASUREMENT” on page 13.

3. 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 turntable tray 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.

5. FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

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 thermostat (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 100W to

1000W can be selected by the touch control and

electronic computer system. C. Cooking time can be displayed on the digital readout. 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.
