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

CLOSINGS.

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 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.

MODEL 721.69252990 721.69259990

ADJUST THE LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSINGS

(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.

(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.

Figure 2

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.

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.

MODEL 721.69252990 721.69259990

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. Two short and a 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.

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.

8.PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

A. CAUTIONS

(1)Be sure to check a microwave emission prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing.

(2)The service personnel should inform the manufacturer, importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5mW/cm.sq. 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.

(3)If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should;

-Tell the user not to operate the oven

-Contact the manufacturer and CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) immediately. NOTE: Address on CDRH

Office of Compliance (HFZ-312)

Center for Devices and Radiological Health 1390 Piccard Drive

(4)The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave emission testing.

(5)Check for microwave energy leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 1mW/cm.sq. And always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage. NOTE: The standard is 5mW/cm.sq. while in the customer’s home. 1mW/cm.sq. stated here is manufacturer’s own voluntary standard for units in customer’s home.

EQUIPMENT

B. MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

(1)Pour 27515cc of 2050C water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker in the center of the oven.

(2)Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer’s recommended test procedure to assure correct result.

(3)When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

(4)Operate the oven at its maximum output.

(5)Measure the microwave radiation using and electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured. (See Figure 7)

Move probe along shaded area.

Probe scanning speed less than 2.5 cm/sec.

C.MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE REMOVED

(1) When you replace the magnetron, measure for microwave energy leakage before the outer case is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring the following parts.

-Around the magnetron

-The waveguide

WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS.

D.MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY ASSEMBLED OVEN

(1)After all components, including the outer panels, are fully assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.

(2)Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the

values prescribed below.

NOTES:

Leakage with the outer panels removed - less than 5mW/cm.sq.

Leakage for a fully assembled oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted) with the door in a slightly opened position - less than 1 mW/cm .sq.

E. NOTE WHEN MEASURING

(1)Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.

(2)The test probe must be removed no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec) along the shaded area, otherwise a false reading may result.

(3)The test probe must be held with the grip portion of the handle. A false reading may result if the operator’s hand is between the handle and the probe.

(4)When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to the surface making sure the probe horizontally along the oven surface, this may possibly cause probe damage.

F.RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION AFTER MEASUREMENT

(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 1mW/cm.sq. after 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.

G. POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT

(1)Fill the test beaker with 59 ˚F(15 ˚C) ~ 75 ˚F(24 ˚C) 1 liter tap water.

(2)Stir the water in the beaker with thermometer ( ˚F or ˚C) and measure temperature as T1.

(3)Place the beaker on the center of turntable.

(4)Set for one (1) minute and three (3) seconds and operate the oven at high power.

NOTE: The additional three (3) seconds is to allow the magnetron to begin generating power.

(5)When the heating is finished, stir the water again with thermometer and measure the temperature of water as T2.

(6)Subtract T1 from T2, this will give you the temperature rise.

(7)The microwave power output is within specification, if the temperature rise is as shown below:
