The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2in.)
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
R-1855A
The following is a description of component functions during
oven operation.
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and
secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor
switch contacts are opened.)
When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the
control unit. (Figure O-1).
1. The display will show , , ,
, , , , and
.
To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : "
will appear.
COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time touching the NUMBER pads.
When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur:
1. The contacts of relays are closed and components
connected to the relays are turned on as follows.
(For details, refer to Figure O-2)
RELAYCONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY1Oven lamp
RY2Power transformer/ Stirrer motor
RY4Turntable motor
RY5Fan motor
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.3 volts
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately
2000 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament
and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler
circuit.
4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is
channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feedbox, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to
be cooked.
5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power
transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the
generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven
will revert to the OFF condition.
6. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, monitor
switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch
and third door switch and primary interlock relay are
activated with the following results. The circuits to the
stirrer motor, the cooling fan motor, the turntable motor,
and the high voltage components are de-energized, and
the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the
cook cycle when the door was opened.
7. The monitor switch is electrically monitoring the operation
of the secondary interlock switch, third door switch and
door sensing switch is mechanically associated with the
door so that it will function in the following sequence.
(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the
primary interlock relay, door sensing switch,
secondary interlock switch and third door switch
open their contacts, and then the monitor switch
contacts close.
(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the
monitor switch contacts first open, and then the
contacts of the secondary interlock switch and third
door switch close.
If the secondary interlock switch, third door switch and door
sensing switch fail with their contacts closed when the door
is opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will
form a short circuit through the monitor fuse, third door
switch, secondary interlock switch and primary interlock
relay, causing the monitor fuse to blow.
POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120
volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY2) which is operated
by the control unit within an interval second time base.
Microwave power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODEON TIMEOFF TIME
Power 10(P-HI)32 sec.0 sec.

(approx. 10% power)
Power 0(P-0) 0 sec.32 sec.
(0% power)
Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power, because approx.
2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron
filament.
CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
PREHEATING CONDITION
Program desired convection temperature by touching the
PREHEAT pad and the temperature pad.
7
R-1855A
When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur:
1. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY4, RY5 and RY7) are
energized, the oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan
motor and convection motor are turned on.
2. The coil of relay (RY6) is energized by the control unit.
The damper is moved to the closed position, opening the
damper switch contacts. The opening of the damper
switch contacts sends a signal to the LSI on the control
unit de-energizing the relay (RY6) and opening the
circuit to the damper motor.
3. The coil of heater relay (RY3) is energized by the control
unit and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating
element.
4. When the oven temperature reaches the selected preheat
temperature, the following operations occur:
4-1 The heater relay is de-energized by the control unit
temperature circuit and thermistor, opening the
circuit to the heating element.
4-2. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,
turning the heater on and off, as needed to maintain
the selected preheat temperature. The oven will
shutdown completely after 30 minutes
CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
When the preheat temperature is reached, a beep signal will
sound indicating that the holding temperature has been
reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and place the food
to be cooked in the oven.
Program convection temperature and desired cooking time
by touching the CONVECTION pad, Temperature pad and
NUMBER pad.
When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur:
1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down
to zero.
2. The oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and
convection motor are energized.
3. Heater relay (RY3) is energized (if the cavity temperature
is lower than the selected temperature) and the main
supply voltage is applied to the heating element to return
to the selected cooking temperature.
4. Upon completion of the cooking time, the audible signal
will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan
motor and convection motor are de-energized. At the
end of the convection cycle, if the oven temperature is
above 275OF, the circuit to RY5 will be maintained (by
the thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the
cooling fan motor until the temperature drops below
245OF, at which time the relay will be de-energized,
turning off the fan motor. Relay RY7 will however, open
as soon as the convection cycle has ended, turning off
the convection motor.
5. At the end of the convection cook cycle, shut-off relay
(RY6) is energized turning on the damper motor. The
damper is returned to the open position, closing the
damper switch contacts which send a signal to the
control unit, de-energizing shut-off relay (RY6).
AUTOMATIC MIX COOKING CONDITION
Touch the LOW MIX/BAKE or HIGH MIX/ROAST pad. The
LOW MIX/BAKE pad is preprogrammed for 325OF with 10%
microwave power, while the HIGH MIX/ROAST pad is
preprogrammed for 325OF with 30% microwave power.
Program desired cooking time. When the START pad is
touched, the following operations occur:
1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count down
to zero.
2. The shut-off relays (RY1, RY4, RY5 and RY7) are
energized, turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor,
cooling fan motor and convection motor.
3. The shut-off relay (RY6) is energized.
The damper plate is closed from the open position.
4. The heater relay (RY3) is energized, applying the main
supply voltage to the heating element.
5. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking condition.
6. When the oven temperature reaches the selected
temperature, the following operations occur:
6-1. The power supply voltage is alternated to the
heating element and power transformer.
6-2. The heating element operates through the heater
relay (RY3) contacts and the power transformer
operates through the primary interlock relay (RY2)
contacts.
6-3. These are operated by the control unit to supply
alternately within a 32 second time base, convection
heat and microwave energy.
The relationship between the convection and microwave
power operations are as follows.
Note:The ON and OFF time ratio does not correspond
with the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.
the convection heater is energized only if the cavity
temperature drops below the set temperature.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR COOK, SENSOR REHEAT or POPCORN 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.
8
R-1855A
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by
experiment with each food category and inputted into the
LSI.
An example of how sensor works:
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
MICROWAVE
2. Heat potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted rapidly.
You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
AH SENSOR
MICROWAVE
3. Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates
cooking time and variable power.
Cooking Sequence.
1. Touch SENSOR COOK, SENSOR REHEAT or
POPCORN pad. When Sensor Cook is touched, to
choose menu the number pad should be touched.
NOTE: The oven should not be operated on SENSOR
COOK, SENSOR REHEAT or POPCORN
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait five
minutes before cooking on SENSOR COOK,
SENSOR REHEAT or POPCORN.
2. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY4 and RY5) 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.
The 32 seconds is the cooling time required to remove
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.
COMPU BROIL, COMPU ROAST, COMPU BAKE
COMPU BROIL, COMPU ROAST and COMPU BAKE will
automatically compute the oven temperature, microwave
power and cooking time for broiling, roasting and baking. Set
the desired program by touching one of the COMPU BROIL,
COMPU ROAST or COMPU BAKE pad, and number pad.
Enter the weight by touching the Number pads. When the
START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The COOK indicator will light and the CONV or MIX
indicator will light.
2. The cooking time will appear on the display and start
counting down to zero. The cooking time is adjusted
automatically according to the weight of the food.
3. The shut-off relays (RY1, RY4, RY5 and RY7) are
energized, turning on the oven lamp, turntable motor,
cooling fan motor and convection motor. The power
supply voltage is applied to the heating element.
4. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking mode or
Automatic Mix Cooking condition.
5. When the oven temperature has reached the
programmed convection temperature, the oven goes
into the programmed cooking mode.
6. At the end of the cooking cycle, the damper is returned
to the open position and the oven will go to the off
condition. The cooling fan will remain on until the oven
has cooled.
COMPU DEFROST COOKING
The COMPU DEFROST key is a special function key to
defrost meats and poultry faster and better. COMPU
DEFROST automatically defrosts roast beef, etc.. When
the COMPU DEFROST is selected and the food weight is
entered by using the COMPU DEFROST pad, the oven will
cook according to the special cooking sequence.
FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)
This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop
the oven's operation if there is a fire in the oven cavity during
microwave cooking.
This is accomplished by the LSI repeatedly measuring the
voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (thermistor) during it's 32-seconds time base comparing the
obtained voltage measurements. If the most recent voltage
measured is 100mV greater than the previous voltage
measured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and
switches off the relays to the power transformer and fan
motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the
damper plate so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity.
Please refer to the following section for a more detailed
description.
Operation
The following operation will start 4 minutes after the start
pad is touched. Please refer to the timing diagrams below.
1. The thermistor operates within a 32-seconds time base
and it is energized for three (3) seconds and off for 29
seconds. Two (2) seconds after the thermistor is
energized, the voltage across the temperature
measurement circuit is sampled by the LSI and twenty
one (21) seconds after the thermistor is cut off the LSI
turns on the convection motor for six (6) seconds.
2. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference
between the first voltage measured (in step 1) and the
voltage measured when the procedure is repeated (step
2) is greater than 100mV the LSI makes the judgment
that there is a fire in the oven cavity and will switch off
9
R-1855A
the relays to the power transformer and fan motor. The
LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper
door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity.
3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the
programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by pressing
the "START" pad or the unit may be reset by pressing the
"CLEAR" pad.
IMPORTANT:
During sensor cooking operation, the fire sensing
operation sequence will not begin until the AH sensor
has detected vapors and initiated a sensor cooking
cycle. This is because the operation of the convection
fan would interfere with the AH sensor's vapor detection.

3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay,
secondary interlock switch and third door switch contacts
fail to open, the monitor fuse blows simultaneously with
closing of the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR

TEMPERATURE FUSE (MG)
The temperature fuse located near the waveguide is
designed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over
heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the temperature fuse remains closed.
However, the temperature fuse will open at 302OF (150OC)
causing the oven to shut down.
THERMAL CUT-OUT (HOOD )
This thermal cut-out located on the base plate right and the
hood intake duct (left), It is designed to automatically turn
on the hood fan motor whenever the hot air rising from the
conventional range below causes the temperature at the
thermal cut-out to rise to 140OF (60OC) or higher, thus
removing this hot air from around microwave oven. When
the temperature around the thermal cut-out drops to 113OF
(45OC) or lower, the thermal cut-out shuts off the food fan
motor.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the
bottom of the oven cavity, so that the foods on the turntable
cook evenly during cooking. Turntable will turn in either
direction. The turntable motor can be turned off by touching
TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad.
MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
latch head on the door while the door is closed. The switch
is intended to render the oven inoperative, by means of
blowing the monitor fuse, when the contacts of the secondary interlock switch and third door switch fail to open when
the door is opened.
Functions:
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close
(to the ON condition) due to their being normally closed.
At this time the primary interlock relay, secondary interlock
switch and third switch are in the OFF condition (contacts
open) due to their being normally open contact switches.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the door sensing switch,
secondary interlock switch and third door switch contacts
close. (On opening the door, each of these switches
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external
cool air. This cool air is directed through the air vanes
surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This
air is channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam
and vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then
exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
HOOD FAN MOTOR
The hood fan motor is a two-speed, single-phase, double
pole induction type, requiring a hood fan capacitor. It is
located outside the upper rear part of the oven cavity, is to
remove, from around the oven, hot air rising from the
conventional electric or gas range over which it is installed.
This air is then expelled either vertically or horizontally
through the customer supplied duct system, or discharged
back into the kitchen.
15
R-1855A
STIRRER MOTOR
The stirrer motor drives the stirrer fan to stir the microwave
radiation from the waveguide.
HOOD LAMP
The hood lamps are mounted at the hood lamp angle on the
base cover. When the hood lamp button is pushed, the hood
lamp relay (RY8) contacts close turning both hood lamps on.
HEATING ELEMENT
The heating element is located at the left side of the oven
cavity. It is intended to heat air driven by the convection fan.
The heated air is kept in the oven and force-circulated and
reheated by the heating element.
CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM
This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where
food is not directly heated by the heating element, but is
heated by forced circulation of the hot air produced by the
heating element.
The air heated by the heating element is circulated through
the convection passage provided on the outer casing of the
oven cavity by means of the convection fan which is driven
by the convection motor. It then enters the inside of the oven
through the vent holes provided on the left side of the oven.
Next, the hot air heats the food on the turntable and leaves
the oven cavity through the vent in the center of the oven
cavity left side wall.
Without leaving the oven, this hot air is reheated by the
heating element, passes through the convection passage
and enters the inside of the oven cavity again, in a continuing
cycle.
In this way, the hot air circulates inside the oven cavity to
raise its temperature and, at the same time, comes into
contact with the food being cooked.
When the temperature inside the oven cavity reaches the
selected temperature, the heating element is de-energized.
When the temperature inside the oven cavity drops below
the selected temperature, the heating element is energized
again. In this way, the inside of the oven cavity is maintained
at approximately the selected temperature.
When the convection time reaches 0, the heating element
is de-energized and the convection fan stops operating and
the oven shuts off.
DAMPER OPEN-CLOSE MECHANISM
Usually, the damper is in the open position except during
convection cooking. Damper position is set automatically
by damper motor, damper switch and motor cam. These
components are operated by a signal that judges if microwave cooking or convection cooking operation is selected
by the control unit.
Microwave Cooking:
Damper is in the open position, because a portion of cooling
air is channeled through the cavity to remove steam and
vapors given off from the heating foods.
It is then exhausted at the top of the oven cavity into a
condensation compartment.
Convection Cooking:
Damper is in the closed position, so that no hot air will be
allowed to leak out the oven cavity.
Damper Operation
1. When power supply cord is plugged in:
1-1. When power supply cord is plugged in, a signal is
sensed in the control unit, and operates shut-off
relay (RY6).
1-2. Contacts of shut-off relay (RY6) close, the damper
motor is energized, opening the damper plate.
1-3. When the damper is moved to the open position by
the damper cam the damper switch is closed (ON
position).
1-4. The signal from damper switch is re-sensed in the
control unit and shut-off relay (RY6) is turned off.
1-5. The 120 volts A.C. to the damper motor is removed
and the motor turns off.
2. When oven is microwave cooking:
Damper is in the open position.
3. When oven is convection cooking:
3-1. Damper motor is energized by touching the
convection, temperature, number and START pads.
3-2. When damper is in the closed position (damper
switch is OFF), its signal is sensed by the control
unit, and shut-off relay (RY6) is de-energized.
3-3. The damper is held in the closed position during the
convection cooking operation.
3-4. At the end of the convection cooking, shut-off relay
(RY6) is energized, and the damper is returned to
the open position.
NOTE: If the damper plate is not in the proper position,
closed during convection or open during microwave,
the control unit will stop oven operation after 1
minute.
