remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the highvoltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the highvoltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an
insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may in, some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup
of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and reexamine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and microwave leakage test should be carried out.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
A. Requirements:
1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven
should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition
by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external
surface of the oven.
2) Safety interlock switches Primary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in
excess of the requirement as above mentioned, secondary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission
in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
B. Preparation for testing:
Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard for
microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.
2) Place the oven tray in the oven cavity.
3) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.)
and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage
is measured accurately.
4) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode
5) Close the door and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed,
replace it with 275 ml of cool water.
C. Leakage test:
Closed-door leakage test (microwave measurement)
1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the door and the body of the oven.
2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on
the meter.
3) Check for leakage at the door screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal
has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
While testing for leakage around the door pull the door away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed
latch assembly.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2,
and that the secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the Sensor Cooking function, the foods are cooked or
defrosted without figuring time, power level or quantity.
When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it
relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking time and power level needed for
best results.
When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The
sensor “senses” the vapor and its resistance increases
gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the LSI.
An example of how sensor works (Baked potato):
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
MICROWAVE
any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch
STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking
time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the door may be opened to stir food, turn it
or season, etc.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and
the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the
time of day will reappear on the display and the oven will
revert to an OFF condition.
2. Heat potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted rapidly.
You can smell the aroma as it cooks.

NOTE: The oven should not be operated on Sensor Cooking
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two
minutes before cooking on Sensor Cooking.
2. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1 and RY3) are energized,
the oven lamp, turntable motor and cooling fan motor are
turned on, but the power transformer is not turned on.
3. After about 32 seconds, the cook relay (RY2) is energized.
The power transformer is turned on, microwave energy
is produced and first stage is started.

QAH SENSOR TEST
Checking the initial sensor cooking condition
WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
(1)The oven should be plugged in at least two minutes before sensor cooking.
(2)Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F (35˚C).
(3)The unit should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated. The unit should
not be installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit. Refer to the “INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS” of the operation manual.
(4)Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for proper cooling and air flow in the cavity. To
permit adequate ventilation, be sure to install so as not to block these vents. There should be some
space for air circulation.
(5)Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
(6)The Sensor works with food at normal storage temperature. For example, chicken pieces would be
at refrigerator temperature and canned soup at room temperature.
(7)Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaning solvents near the oven while using Sensor settings. The
sensor will detect the vapour given of by the spray and turn off before food is properly cooked.
(8)If the sensor has not detected the vapour of the food, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut off.
Water load cooking test
WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
Make sure the oven has been plugged in at least two minutes before checking sensor cook operation.
The cabinet should be installed and screws tightened.
(1)Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
(2)Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
(3)Close the door.
(4)Touch Sensor reheat pad once and touch the Start pad, Now, the oven is in the sensor cooking
condition and “SENSOR REHEAT” and "COOK" will appear in the display.

(3)Discharge high voltage capacitor.
(4)Remove the AH sensor.
(5)Install the new AH sensor.
(6)Reconnect all leads removed from components during replacing.
(7)Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
(8)Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
(9)Reconnect the oven to the power supply cord and check the sensor cook operation proceed as
follows:
9-1. Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
9-2. Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
9-3. Close the door.
9-4. Touch Sensor reheat pad once and touch the Start pad.
9-5. The control panel is in automatic Sensor operation.
9-6. The display will start to count down the remaining cooking time, and the oven will turn off
automatically after the water is boiling (bubbling).
If new sensor dose not operate properly, the problem is with the control unit, and refer to explanation
below.
CHECKING CONTROL UNIT
(1)Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
(2)Open the door and block it open.
(3)Discharge high voltage capacitor.
(4)Disconnect the sensor connector that is mounted to control panel.
(5)Then connect the dummy resistor circuit (see fig.) to the sensor connector of control panel.
(6)Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
(7)Ensure that these leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation
tape.
(8)After that procedure, re-connect the supply.
(9)Check the sensor cook operation proceed as follows:
9-1. Touch Sensor reheat pad once and touch the Start pad.
9-2. The control panel is in the sensor cooking operation.
9-3. After approximately 32 seconds, push plunger of select switch for more than 3 seconds. This
conditionis same as judgement by AH sensor.
9-4. After approximately 3 seconds, the display shows “ X X . X X “ which is the remaining cooking
time, and the display count down.
If the above is not the case, the control unit is probably defective.

(1)Structure of Absolute Humidity Sensor
The absolute humidity sensor includes two thermistors
as shown in the illustration. One thermistor is housed in
the closed vessel filled with dry air while another in the
open vessel. Each sensor is provided with the protective
cover made of metal mesh to be protected from the
external airflow.

(2)Operational Principle of Absolute Humidity Sensor
The figure below shows the basic structure of an absolute
humidity sensor. A bridge circuit is formed by two
thermistors and two resistors (R1 and R2).
The output of the bridge circuit is to be amplified by the
operational amplifier.
Each thermistor is supplied with a current to keep it
heated at about 150˚C (302˚F), the resultant heat is
dissipated in the air and if the two thermistors are placed
in different humidity conditions they show different
degrees of heat conductivity leading to a potential
difference between them causing an output voltage from
the bridge circuit, the intensity of which is increased as
the absolute humidity of the air increases. Since the
output is very minute, it is amplified by the operational
amplifier.

balance the bridge circuit is deviated to increase the
voltage available at AN1 terminal of the LSI.
Then the LSI observes that voltage at AN1 terminal and
compares it with its initial value, and when the comparison
rate reaches the preset value (fixed for each menu to be
cooked), the LSI causes the unit to stop sensor cooking;
thereafter, the unit goes in the next operation
automatically.
When the LSI starts to detect the initial voltage at AN1
terminal 16 seconds after the unit has been put in the
Sensor Cooking mode, if it is not possible to balance, of
the bridge circuit due to disconnection of the absolute
humidity sensor, ERROR will appear on the display and
the cooking is stopped.

(3)Detector Circuit of Absolute Humidity Sensor Circuit
This detector circuit is used to detect the output voltage of
the absolute humidity circuit to allow the LSI to control
sensor cooking of the unit. When the unit is set in the
sensor cooking mode, 16 seconds clearing cycle occurs
than the detector circuit starts to function and the LSI
observes the initial voltage available at its AN1 terminal.
With this voltage given, the switches SW1 to SW5 in the
LSI are turned on in such a way as to change the
resistance values in parallel with R98 ~ R102 of IC2.
Changing the resistance values results in that there is the
same potential at both F-3 terminal of the absolute humidity
sensor and AN0 terminal of the LSI. The voltage of AN1
terminal will indicate about -2.5V. This initial balancing is
set up about 16 seconds after the unit is put in the Sensor
Cooking mode. As the sensor cooking proceeds, the food
is heated to generate moisture by which the resistance
