servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to
servicing.
• The service personnel should inform the
manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified
oven unit found to have a microwave emission level
in excess of 5 mW/cm2and 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.
• If the oven operates with the door open, the service
personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
• The service personnel should check all surface and
vent openings for microwave leakage.
• Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The
power density of the microwave radiation leakage
emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed
4 mW/cm2. Always start measuring of an unknown field
to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation
leakage.

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.
POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT
(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(T0) prior to the start of the test.
(4) The initial temperature (T1) of the water is
(10±1)°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±1)°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 :
P =
4187 Mw(T2 –T1)+0.55Mc(T2 –T0)
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) Stirring devices and measuring instruments are
selected in order to minimize addition or removal of
heat.

leakage.
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy
leakage, adjust the door latches and interlock
switches, using the following procedure.
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.
Mounting of the primary/monitor/secondary switches to

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 22.
(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 23 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”. 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.
7-12
TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE
(5) Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch,
the Secondary 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
Make sure the microwave energy leakage is below the
limit of 1mW/cm2(with a 275 ml water load) and
5mW/cm2(with a 275 ml water load without the
cabinet) when measured with a survey meter.

INTERLOCK CONTINUITY TEST
A. PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST
When the door is opened slowly, an audible click
should be heard at the same time or successively
at intervals and the latches should activate the
switches with an audible click.
If the latches do not activate the switches when the
door is closed, the switches should be a adjusted
in accordance with the adjustment procedure.
Disconnect the wire lead from the primary switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally open (NO) terminal of the
switch. The meter should indicate an open circuit
in the door open condition.
When the door is closed, the meter should indicate
a closed circuit.
When the primary switch operation is abnormal,
make the necessary adjustment or replace the
switch only with the same type of switch.
B. SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST
Disconnect the wire lead from the secondary
switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally open (NO) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate a open circuit in
the door open condition. When the door is closed,
meter should indicate an closed circuit. When the
secondary switch operation is abnormal, make the
necessary adjustment or replace the switch only
with the same type of switch.
C. MONITOR SWITCH TEST
Disconnect the wire lead from the monitor switch.
Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common
(COM) and normally closed (NC) terminals of the
switch. The meter should indicate closed circuit in
the door open condition. When the door is closed,
meter should indicate an open circuit. When the
monitor switch operation is abnormal, replace with
the same type of switch.
NOTE: After repairing the door or the interlock
system, it is necessary to do this continuity
test before operating the oven.
