Consult the service manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to be
taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.
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 power 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, replaced, 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.

Only for training and service purposes
• DO NOT operate on a 2-wire extension cord during
repair and use.
• NEVER TOUCH any oven components or wiring during
operation.
• BEFORE TOUCHING any parts of the oven, always
remove the power plug from the outlet.
• For about 30 seconds after the oven stops, an electric
charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When
replacing or checking, you must discharge the high
voltage capacitor by shorting across the two terminals
with an insulated screwdriver.
•
Remove your watches whenever working close to or
replacing the Magnetron.
• NEVER operate the oven with no load.
• NEVER injure the door seal and front plate of the oven
cavity.
• NEVER put iron tools on the magnetron.
• NEVER put anything into the latch hole and the
interlock switches area.
• Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that
the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide 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.
2-1
CAUTIONS
Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is
high-voltage and high-current equipment.
Though it is free from danger in ordinary use,
extreme care should be taken during repair.
THE OVEN IS TO BE SERVICED ONLY
BY PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
MICROWAVE RADIATION
Personnel should not be exposed to the
microwave energy which may radiate from the
magnetron or other microwave generating
device if it is improperly used or connection.
All input and output microwave connections,
waveguide, flange and gasket must be secure
never operate the device without a microwave
energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna
while the device is energized.

INSTALLING
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with
a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as
misaligned door, damage around the door or dents
inside the cavity or on the exterior.
2. Put the oven on a counter, table, or shelf that is
strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control panel side of the
oven is the heavy side. Use care when handling.)
3. Do not block the vent and the air intake openings.
Blocking vent or air intake openings can cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to
ensure proper air flow.
4. The oven should not be installed in any area where
heat and steam are generated, because they may
damage the electronic or mechanical parts of the
unit.
Do not install the oven next to a conventional
surface unit or above a conventional wall oven.
5. Use microwave oven in an ambient temperature
less than 104°F(40°C).
6. Place the microwave oven on a sturdy and flat
surface at least 10 cm(4 inches) from the wall.
7. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible
from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent
interference.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DETAILS
• The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary
voltage to the micom controller when power cord is
plugged in.
• When the door is closed, the primary switch is ON, the
secondary switch is ON, and the monitor switch opens
(contact COM and NO).
WHEN SELECTING COOKING POWER
LEVEL AND TIME
• The micom controller memorizes the function you set.
• The time you set appears in the display window.
• Each indicator light turns on to indicate that the stage
has been set.
WHEN TOUCHING THE START PAD
• The coil of the relay is energized by the micom
controller.
• Power input is supplied to the high voltage transformer
through the fuse to the primary switch and relay 2.
• Turntable rotates.
• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by
blowing the air (coming from the intake on the
baseplate).
• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the
vapor in the oven through the upper plate.
• Cooking time starts counting down.
• 3.2 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of
the high voltage transformer. This 3.2 volts is applied to
the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through
two noise-preventing choke coils.
• A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is
generated in the secondary of the high voltage
transformer which is increased by the action of the high
voltage diode and charging of the high voltage
capacitor.
• The negative 4000 Volts DC is applied to the filament
of the magnetron.
WHEN THE OVEN IS SET AT ANY LEVEL
EXCEPT MAXIMUM.
• The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of relay
2 by the applied signal to vary the average output
power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL.
(refer to page 1-1)
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING
COOKING
• Both the primary switch and relay 2 are cut off primary
winding voltage of the high voltage transformer.
• ON-OFF of relay 2 is coupled electrically with opening
and closing of the secondary switch.
• When the door is opened, the secondary switch is
opened and when the door is closed, the secondary
switch is closed.
• The cooking time stops counting down.
• Relay stops functioning.
• As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch
and relay 2 and/or secondary switch fails to open, the
fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by
the monitor switch activation, which in turn stops
magnetron oscillation.

CAUTIONS
• Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to
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/cm
2
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.
• If the oven operates with the door open, the service
personnel should:
- Tell the user not to operate the oven.
- Contact the manufacturer.
• 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.
MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY
LEAKAGE
• Pour 275±15cc of 20±5°C(68±9°F) water in a beaker
which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker
on the center of the turntable.
• Set the energy leakage monitor to 2450 MHz and
use it following the manufacturer's recommended
test procedure to assure correct result.
• When measuring the leakage, always use the 2inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
• Operate the oven at its maximum output.
• Measure the microwave radiation using and
electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the
probe perpendicular to the surface being measured
Move probe along shaded area
Probe scanning speed
Less than 2.5 cm/sec
