1. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

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

ONLY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.

The Interlock Monitor and Primary Interlock Switch acts 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.

ADJUST THE LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSING

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

shown.

(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, 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.

(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 is 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.

(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 34 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. And do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.

CAUTION

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

3. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE Microwave Oven

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.

Toaster

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

the toaster with no load may overheat this appliance.

B. Oversized food, metal foil packages or utensils must not

be inserted in this toaster, as they may create a fire or electrical hazards.
