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

inspection within the microwave generating compartments,

check the magnetron, waveguide 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 trans-

mission 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.

specified parts to prevent microwave leakage, shock, fire, or other hazards. Do not modify the orginal design.

DANGER OF HIGH VOLTAGE AND HIGH TEMPERATURE (HOT/LIVE) OF THE INVERTER POWER SUPPLY (U)

INVERTER WARNING

This Inverter board looks like a regular PCB. However, this PCB drives the magnetron tube with extremely high voltage

and high current.

IT HAS: 1. Very high voltage and high current circuits.

It functions the same as the high voltage transformer and high voltage capacitor in ordinary microwave ovens.

2. Aluminum heat sink is energized with very high voltages and high heat energy.

3. Very high voltage may remain in circuitry even when oven is off. High voltage may remain in the capacitors

on the board.

DO NOT:

1. Do not touch circuitry because it has very hot (high voltage) circuitry. Even when replacing board, extreme

care should be taken to avoid possible electric shock hazards. High voltage may remain in circuit.

2. Do not touch aluminum heat sink because it is very hot in high voltage and also very hot in high heat energy.

3. Do not try to adjust or tamper with preset volume on the Inverter board because it is very dangerous to

adjust without proper test equipment.

4. Do not test oven while Inverter grounding plate or screws are loose. It is very dangerous to operate H.V.

Inverter Circuit (U) with loose mounting screws or if improperly grounded.

5. For USA only:

Do not try to repair Inverter PCB because it is very dangerous to repair it. Replace as whole High Voltage

Inverter Circuit unit and return fully re-packed with original shipping box and shipping materials.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE

1. Variable power cooking control

The coil of power relay B (RY1) is energized intermittently by the digital

programmer circuit, when the oven is set at any power selection except

for High power position. The digital programmer circuit controls the

ON-OFF time of power relay B contacts in order to vary the output

power of the microwave oven from ”Low” to “High” power. One

complete ON and OFF cycle of power relay B is 22 seconds. The

relation between indications on the control panel and the output of the

microwave oven is as shown in table.

NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the

percentage of microwave power since approximately 2 sec-

onds are required for heating of magnetron filament.

2. Inverter Power Supply Circuit NEW H,V

This Inverter Power Supply Circuit supplies 4,000V DC to the magnetron

tube from the line voltage,120v 60Hz AC input. functions as the H.V.

transformer, the H.V.capacitor and H.V.Diode.

1. The AC input voLtage 120V 60HZ is rectified to DC voltage immediately.

2. DC voltage will be supplied to the switching devices called IGBT. These

devices will be switched ON-OFF by the 20 to 40 kHz PWM. (pulse

width modulation) signal from the microcomputer in the DPC.

3. This drives the High voltage transformer to increase up to 2,000V AC

and approximately 3V AC by means of transformer.

4. Then the half-wave doubler voltage rectifier circuit, consisting of the

HV diodes and Capacitors, generates the necessary 4,000V DC

needed for the magnetron.

5. Output power of the magnetron tube is always monitored by the

signal output from the current transformer built into the inverter ciruit.

6. Then this signal will be fed back to the microcomputer in the DPC to

determine operating conditions and output necessary to control PWM

signal to the inverter Power Supply to control output power.

3. Inverter Turbo Defrost

When this Auto Control feature is selected and the Start Pad is tapped:

(A) The digital programer circuit determines the power level and cooking

time to complete cooking and indicates the operating state in the

display window. Table shows the corresponding cooking times for

respective serving by categories.

(B) When cooking time the display window has elapsed, the oven tums

off automatically by a control signal from the digital programmer circuit.

4. Sensor Cooking (NN-S560BFAPH/CPH NN-

S560WFAPH/CPH)

Auto sensor cooking is a revolutionary way to cook by microwave

without setting a power level or selecting a time.

All that is necessary is to select an Auto Sensor Program before starting

to cook.

Understanding Auto Sensor Cooking

As the food cooks, a certain amount of steam is produced. If the food

is covered, this steam builds up and eventually escapes from the

container. In Auto Sensor Cooking, a carefully designed instrument,

called the steam sensor element, senses this escape of steam. Then,

based upon the Auto Sensor Program Selected, the unit will

automatically determine the correct power level and the proper length

of time it will take to cook the food.

NOTE: Auto Sensor Cooking is successful with the foods and

recipes found in the Auto Sensor Cooking Guide. Because

of the vast differences in food composition, items not

mentioned in the Cooking Guide should be prepared in the

microwave oven using power select and time features. Please

consult variable Power Microwave cookbook for procedures.

Explanation of the Auto Sensor Cooking process

1) During the first 10 second period there is no microwave activity,

and when calculating the T2 time by using the formula below make

sure this 10 second is subtracted from the T1 time. In other words T1

time starts at the end of the 10 second period.

2) T1 time... The total amount of time it takes the microwave oven to

switch to T2 time after the 10 second period.

3) T2 time... When the steam escapes from the cooking container placed

in the oven, the steam sensor detects it and the microprocessor cal-

culates the balance of cooking time. This T2 time is then shown in the

display and begins counting down.

Balance of cooking time (T2 time)

The balance of cooking time which is called T2 time, can be calcu-

lated by the following formula.

T2 time (in sec.)=T1 time X K factor

NOTE: Remember, the T1 time starts after the 10 second period.

The coefficient K is programmed Into the mlcroprocessor

memory and they are listed in the following tables along with

the P1 and P2 powers.

NOTE: When "More" or "Less" pad is selected, the K factor varles

resulting In T2 time to be increased or decreased.

Example of calculating the T2 time

Example 1: If the T1 time is measured to be 2 minutes and 40 seconds

after the 10 second period, and the Auto program selected is

Frozen Vegetable:

T2 = T1 X K

=2 min. and 40 sec. X 0.1

=160 sec. X 0.1

=16 sec.

5. Sensor Reheat (NN-S560BFAPH/CPH,NN-S560WF

APH/CPH)

Auto Sensor Reheat is a quick and easy way to reheat refrigerator

and room temperature foods.

Simply press the reheat pad. There is no need to select power level

and cooking time.

NOTE: The Auto Sensor Reheat process is same as Auto Sensor

Cooking process.
