WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
GBMicrowave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts will result
in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, High voltage transformer, Magnetron, High voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage
fuses, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge two high voltage capacitors.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE TWO
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITORS
The two high-voltage capacitors remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60
seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the two
high-voltage capacitors (that is, of the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an
insulated screwdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding is
carried out with the supply disconnected. It may in, some
cases, be necessary to connect the supply after the outer
case has been removed, in this event carry out
then disconnect the leads to the primary of the two High
voltage transformers. Ensure that these leads remain isolated
from other components and the oven chassis. (Use insulation
tape if necessary.) When the testing is completed carry out
checks and reconnect the leads to the primary of the two High
voltage transformers.
NLMagnetronovens bevatten circuits die een zeer hoge spanning en stroom kunnen voortbrengen. Contact met de
volgende onderdelen kan elektrocutie tot gevolg hebben.
Hoogspanningscondensator, hoogspanningstransformator, magnetron, hoogspanningsgelijkrichter, hoogspannings
kabelboom.
3D checks and
3D
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. 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 one (1) minute.
When the one minute has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully
check that the water is now hot. If the water remains cold carry
out
3D checks and re-examine the connections to the compo-
nent being tested.
When all service work is completed, and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked and
a microwave leakage test should be carried out.
VERGEET DE VOLGENDE 3 STAPPEN NIET
1) Haal de stekker uit het stopcontact.
2) Open de deur en zorg ervoor dat hij niet dicht kan vallen.
3) Ontlaad de hoogspanningscondensator.
PAS OP VOOR DE ELECTRISCHE LADING VAN DE
HOOGSPANNINGSCONDENSATOR
De hoogspanningscondensator blijft nog ongeveer 60
seconden lang opgeladen, nadat de oven is uitgeschakeld.
Wacht 60 seconden voordat u de verbinding van de
hoogspannings-condensator (m.a.w. de verbindingsdraad
van de hoogspanningsgelijkrichter) met een geïsoleerde
schroevedraaier kortsluit tegen het chassis.
Sharp beveelt ten sterkste aan dat, voor zover mogelijk,
defecten worden opgespoord wanneer de stekker uit het
stopcontact is gehaald. Soms is het nodig om de stroomtoevoer
weer tot stand te brengen nadat de buitenmantel verwijderd
is. Herhaal dan de bovengenoemde 3 stappen en haal de
electrische draden uit de primaire zijde van de
vermogenstransformator. Zorg ervoor dat deze draden
geïsoleerd blijven van andere elementen en van het chassis
van de oven. (Gebruik zo nodig isolatieband.) Wanneer de
test is uitgevoerd, herhaalt u de bovenstaande 3 stappen en
verbindt u de electrische draden weer aan de primaire zijde
van de vermogenstransformator.
VERGEET DE VOLGENDE 4 STAPPEN NIET
1) Sluit de draden weer aan diezijn losgehaald voor de test.
2) Plaats de buitenmantel weer om het toestel heen (kabinet).
3) Stop de stekker weer in het stopcontact.
4) Zet de oven aan. Controleer alle functies.
Magnetronovens mogen niet leeg aangezet worden. Om te
controleren of er microgolf-energie binnen de oven wordt
geproduceerd, plaatst u een mok met koud water op de
draaitafel van de oven, sluit de deur, zet de oven op HIGH en
stelt de klok van de magnetron in op twee (2) minuten. Wanneer
de twee minuten voorbij zijn (klok staat op nul), controleert u
voorzichtig of het water heet is. Indien het water nog steeds
koud is, herhaalt u de allereerste drie stappen en controleer
nogmaals de aansluitingen naar de geteste onderdelen.
Wanneer alle reparaties zijn uitgevoerd en de oven weer in
elkaar is gezet, moet de het magnetronvermogen worden
gecontroleerd en moet worden gecontroleerd of er geen
microgolflekkage is.

II forni a microonde contengono un circuito elettrico in grado di generare tensioni e correnti estremamente elevate.
L’eventuale contatto con i seguenti componenti può causare la folgorazione:
condensatore ad alta tensione; trasformatore ad alta tensione; magnetron; rettificatore alta tensione; cablaggio ad
alta tensione.
TRE OPERAZIONI IMPORTANTI PER
INCOMINCIARE
1) Scollegare l'alimentazione elettrica.
2) Verificare che la porta sia bloccata in posizione
aperta.
3) Scaricare il condensatore ad alta tensione.
ATTENZIONE AL CONDENSATORE AD ALTA
TENSIONE: PUO ESSERE CARICO
Il condensatore ad alta tensione rimane carico per circa
60 secondi dopo lo spegnimento del forno. Occorre quindi
spettare 60 secondi prima di cortocircuitare, utilizzando
un cacciavite con impugnatura isolata, il collegamento
del condensatore ad alta tensione (cioè del conduttore
di collegamento del raddrizzatore ad alta tensione) sul
telaio del forno.
Sharp raccomanda, nei limiti del possibile, che la ricerca
dei guasti avvenga in assenza di alimentazione elettrica.
In alcuni casi tuttavia, può essere necessario alimentare
l'apparecchio dopo aver rimosso la scatola esterna. In
questo caso eseguire i tre controlli sopra citati e quindi
scollegare i connettori dal primario del trasformatore.
Assicurarsi che tali connettori non vengano a contatto con
altri componenti, ne con il telaio del forno (fare uso, se
necessario, di nastro isolante). Al termine dell'intervento,
eseguire nuovamente i tre controlli e ricollegare i conduttori
al primario del trasformatore.
QUATTRO VERIFICHE IMPORTANTI DA NON
DIMENTICARE
1) Ricollegare tutti i conduttori staccati dai vari componenti
durante l'intervento.
2) Rimontare la scatola esterna.
3) Ripristinare l'alimentazione elettrica.
4) Rimettere in funzione il forno. Controllare tutte le funzioni.
I forni a microonde non devono mai funzionare a vuoto . P er
verificare la presenza di energia da microonde all'interno
di una cavitá, mettere una tazza di acqua fredda sul piatto
rotante del forno , chiudere la porta, regolare la potenza su
HIGH ed impostate il temporizzatore su due (2) minuti.
Trascorsi i due minuti (temporizzatore a zero), controllare
accuratamente che ora l'acqua sia calda. Se l'acqua è
rimasta fredda, eseguire i tre controlli iniziali e verificare
nuovamente i collegamenti del componente in questione.
Dopo aver portato a termine le operazioni di manutenzione
e rimontato il forno, è necessario controllare la potenza delle
microonde emesse ed eseguire un test per verificare che
non vi sia alcuna dispersione.

IMPORTANT
When the oven door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
COM-NC must be open. When the microwave oven is
plugged in a wall outlet (230 volts, 50Hz), the line voltage
is supplied to the point A5+A7 in the control panel through
the noise filter.

and stop switch SW5 close. With the closing of the stop
switch SW5 contacts, an additional circuit is provided
which will permit the operation of the oven when one of the
touch pads is depressed. Since the control is enabled
through the stop switch SW5, the door must be closed
before the touch pads will be effective. When the door is
closed, a full 60 second IDLE condition is always provided
for selecting and pressing the desired touch pads. A 60
second IDLE condition will also follow the end of each cook
cycle.
the two high voltage transformers. The voltage is
converted to about 3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament
winding and high voltage of approximately 2000 volts
A.C. on the secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the
magnetron filament and the high voltage (2000 volts) is
sent to the voltage doubling circuit, where it is doubled
to negative voltage of approximately 4000 volts D.C..
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the
magnetron generates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This
energy is channelled through the waveguide (transport
channel) into the oven cavity, where the food is placed
to be cooked.

TWO MAGNETRON OPERATION SYSTEM
Two magnetrons MG1+MG2 are equipped in order to get
higher microwave power output. The primary windings of
the high voltage transformers T1+T2 are connected so
that each magnetron can be oscillated alternatively according to the frequency of the power supply. Refer to the
Figure B-1 and B-2.

MICROWAVE VARIABLE COOKING (for R-22AM
and R-23AM)
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, the line voltage is supplied to the high voltage
transformers intermittently within a 48 second time base

DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
1. The door release lever is pulled.
2. The upper latch head is lifted up by the linked door
release lever.
3. The head lever is lifted up by the door release lever.
4. The joint lever is lifted up by the head lever.
5. The lower latch head is lifted up by the joint lever.
6. Now both latch heads are lifted up, so they can be
released from the latch hook.
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts COM-NO
must be closed.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts COM-NO
must be opened.
SW5
MONITOR SWITCH SW4
The monitor switch SW4 is activated (the contacts opened)
the upper latch head and switch lever A while the door is
closed. The switch is intended to render the oven inoperative by means of blowing the fuse F2 F6.3A when the
contacts of the 1st latch switch SW1 fail to open when the
door is opened.
Function
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch SW4
contacts close (to the ON condition) due to their being
normally closed. At this time the 1st latch switch SW1
is 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 SW4 contacts are opened and 1st latch switch
SW1 contacts are closed (On opening the door, each
of these switches operate inversely.)
3. If the door is opened and the 1st latch switch SW1
contacts fail to open, the fuse F2 F6.3A blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch SW4 contacts.
CAUTION:BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE F2
F6.3A TEST THE 1ST LATCH SWITCH SW1,
MONITOR SWITCH SW4 AND MONITOR
RESISTOR R1 FOR PROPER OPERATION.
(REFER TO CHAPTER “TEST PROCEDURE”).
MONITOR RESISTOR R1
The monitor resistor R1 prevents the fuse F2 F6.3A 250V
bursting when the fuse F 2 F6.3A 250V blows due to the
operation of the monitor switch SW4.
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter assembly prevents radio frequency interference that might flow back in the power circuit.
WEAK POINT F1
If the wire harness or electrical components make a shortcircuit, this weak point F1 blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
FUSE F2 F6.3A 250V
1. If the wire harness or electrical components are shortcircuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or
fire hazard.
2. The fuse F2 also blows when 1st latch switch SW1
remains closed with the oven door open and when the
monitor switch closes.
FUSE(S) F3, F4 M8A
If the wire harness or the high voltage transformers T1, T2
are short-circuited, these fuses F3 and /or F4 blow to
prevent an electric shock or fire hazard.
HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE(S) F5, F6
The high voltage fuse blows when the high voltage rectifier
or the magnetron is shorted.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSES TF1, TF2
The temperature fuses TF1, TF2 located on the top of the
upper and lower waveguide, are designed to prevent
damage to the magnetrons MG1, MG2. If an over heated
condition develops in the tube due to blower motor failure,
obstructed air ducts, dirty or blocked air intake, etc., the
circuit to the magnetrons are interrupted. Under normal
operation, the temperature fuses remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are generated
within the magnetrons, the temperature fuses will open at
150˚C causing the microwave energy to stop. The defective temperature fuses must be replaced with new rated
ones.
OVEN TEMPERATURE FUSE TF4
The temperature fuse TF4, located on the side of the
exhaust duct assembly, is designed to prevent damage to
the oven by fire. If the food load is overcooked, by either
error in cook time or defect in the control unit, the temperature fuse will open. Under normal operation, the oven
temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are generated within the oven
9

R-23AT
cavity, the oven temperature fuse will open at 120˚C,
causing the oven to shut down. The defective temperature
fuse must be replaced with new rated one.
BLOWER MOTOR TEMPERATURE FUSE TF3
This temperature fuse TF3 protects the blower motor
against overheating. If its temperature goes above 120˚C
because the blower motor is stalled or the ventilation
openings are blocked, the contacts of the temperature
fuse will open. The line voltage to the control unit will be cut
off and the operation of the oven will be stopped. The
defective temperature fuse must be replaced with a new
one.
OVEN THERMISTOR (1)
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The temperature in the exhaust duct is detected through
the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display
“EE7” and the oven will stop to avoid overheating and
catching fire.
If the thermistor is open, the control panel will display
"EE6" and the oven will stop.
OVEN THERMISTOR (2)
This thermistor detects temperature of the oven cavity
bottom plate. The thermistor is a negative temperature
coefficient type. The temperature is detected through the
resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control will display “EE17”
and the oven will stop.
MAGNETRON THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The air temperature around the upper magnetron is detected through the resistance of the thermistor.
If the temperature is high, the control panel will display
"EE17" and the oven will stop to protect the lower magnetron against overheat.
If the oven thermistor (2) and the magnetron thermistor are
open at the same time, the control panel will display
"EE16" and the oven will stop.
BLOWER MOTOR BM
The blower motor BM drives a blade which draws external
cool air into the oven. This cool air is directed through the
air vanes surrounding the magnetrons and cools the
magnetrons. This air is channelled through the oven cavity
to remove steam and vapours given off from the heating
foods. It is then exhausted through the exhausting air
vents at the oven cavity.
STIRRER MOTORS SM
The upper and lower stirrer motors SM drive stirrer antennas to stir the microwave radiation from the upper and
lower waveguides.
OVEN LAMP OL
The oven cavity light illuminates the interior of the oven so
that food being cooked can be examined visually through
the door window without having to open the door. The
oven lamp is on during the cooking cycle and idle condition.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
When troubleshooting the microwave oven, it is helpful to follow the Sequence of Operation in performing the checks.
Many of the possible causes of trouble will require that a specific test be performed. These tests are given a procedure
letter which will be found in the “Test Procedure”section.
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown fuse F2 F6.3A in the 1st latch switch SW1 - monitor
switch SW4 - monitor resisitor R1 circuit, check the 1st latch switch SW1, monitor switch SW4 and monitor
resistor R1 before replacing the fuse F2 F6.3A

LETTERCOMPONENT TEST
AMAGNETRON TEST
NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.
Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short circuit filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament
terminals and the case of the magnetron (ground). This test should be indicated an infinite resistance.
If a low or zero resistance reading is obtained then the magnetron should be replaced.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER (1 litre water load)
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted). Microwave output power from the magnetron can be measured by way
of IEC 60705, i.e. it is measured by how much power the water load can absorb. To measure the
microwave output power in the microwave oven, the relation of calorie and watt is used. When P(W)
heating works for t(second), approximately P x t/4.187 calorie is generated. On the other hand, if the
temperature of the water with V(ml) rises ∆T (°C) during this microwave heating period, the calorie of
the water is V x ∆T.
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆ T+ 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)P (W) = 4.187 x V x ∆T / t + 0.55 x mc (T2-T0)/t
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature (T0) ...... around 20°CPower supply Voltage.............. Rated voltage
Water load.....................................1000 gInitial temperature (T1) ...................... 10±1°C
Heating time28 sec. [R-22AM] / 23sec. [R-23AM/23AT] Mass of container (mc) .........330 g
T2............... Final temperatureP = 150 x ∆T [R-22AM] / P = 180 x ∆T [R-23AM, R-23AT]
Measuring condition:
1. Container
The water container must be a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material
thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. Temperature of the oven and vessel
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±1)°C.
4. Select the initial and final water temperature so that the maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°C.
5. Select stirring devices and measuring instruments in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
6. The graduation of the thermometer must be scaled by 0.1°C at minimum and be an accurate
thermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t” is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heatup time is not included.
NOTE:The operation time of the microwave oven is “t + 3” sec. (3 sec. is magnetron filament heat-up time.)
Measuring method:
1. Measure the initial temperature of the water before the water is added to the vessel.
(Example: The initial temperature T1 = 11°C)
2. Add the 1 litre water to the vessel.
3. Place the load on the centre of the shelf.
4. Operate the microwave oven at HIGH until the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆ T of
(10 ± 2) K.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.
6. Measure the final water temperature. (Example: The final temperature T2 = 21°C)
7. Calculate the microwave power output P in watts from above formula.

making good contact, verify that the door sensing switch (stop switch ) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the door is closed and open when the door is open. If the door sensing switch
(stop switch ) is good, disconnect the flat ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the control unit and
make sure the door sensing switch is closed (either close the door or short the stop switch connector
). Use the key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and place a jumper wire between
the pins that correspond to the STOP/CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control unit
responds by clearing with a beep, the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If the control unit does
not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced. If a specific pad does not respond, the above method
may be used (after clearing the control unit ) to determine if the control unit or key pad is at fault.

SERVICING
1. Precautions for Handling Electronic Components
This unit uses CMOS LSI in the integral part of the
circuits. When handling these parts, the following
precautions should be strictly followed. CMOS LSI
have extremely high impedance at its input and output
terminals. For this reason, it is easily influenced by the
surrounding high voltage power source, static electricity charge in clothes, etc, and sometimes it is not fully
protected by the built-in protection circuit.
In order to protect CMOS LSI.
1) When storing and transporting, thoroughly wrap them
in aluminium foil. Also wrap all PW boards containing
them in aluminium foil.
2) When soldering, ground the technician as shown in the
figure and use grounded soldering iron and work table.

3. Servicing of Touch Control Panel
We describe the procedures to permit servicing of the
touch control panel of the microwave oven and the
precautions you must take when doing so. To perform
the servicing, power to the touch control panel is
available either from the power line of the oven itself or
from an external power source.
(1)Servicing the touch control panel with power supply of
the oven:
CAUTION: THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER
OF THE MICROWAVE OVEN IS STILL
LIVE DURING SERVICING PRESENTS
A HAZARD.
Therefore, when checking the performance of the
touch control panel, put the outer cabinet on the oven
to avoid touching the high voltage transformer, or
unplug the primary terminal (connector) of the high
voltage transformer to turn it off; the end of such
connector must be insulated with an insulating tape.
After servicing, be sure to replace the leads to their
original locations.
A. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven itself is so short that
the two can’t be separated. For those models, check
and repair all the controls (sensor-related ones included) of the touch control panel while keeping it
connected to the oven.
B. On some models, the power supply cord between the
touch control panel and the oven proper is long enough
that they may be separated from each other. For those
models, therefore, it is possible to check and repair the
controls of the touch control panel while keeping it
apart from the oven proper; in this case you must short
both ends of the door sensing switch (on PWB) of the
touch control panel with a jumper, which brings about
an operational state that is equivalent to the oven door
being closed. As for the sensor-related controls of the
touch control panel, checking them is possible if dummy
resistor(s) with resistance equal to that of the controls
are used.
(2)Servicing the touch control panel with power supply
from an external power source:
Disconnect the touch control panel completely from the
oven proper,and short both ends of the door sensing
switch (on PWB) of the touch control panel,which
brings about an operational state that is equivalent to
the oven door being closed. Connect an external
power source to the power input terminal of the touch
control panel, then it is possible to check and repair the
controls of the touch control panel it is also possible to
check the sensor-related controls of the touch control
panel by using the dummy resistor(s).
4. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 30W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a
grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC10MHz type or more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
5. Other Precautions
1) Before turning on the power source of the control unit,
remove the aluminium foil applied for preventing static
electricity.
2) Connect the connector of the key unit to the control unit
being sure that the lead wires are not twisted.
3) After aluminium foil is removed, be careful that abnormal voltage due to static electricity etc. is not applied to
the input or output terminals.
4) Attach connectors, electrolytic capacitors, etc. to PWB,
making sure that all connections are tight.
5) Be sure to use specified components where high
precision is required.

PROCEDURE FOR CHECKING/CLEARING SERVICE COUNTS OF MICROWAVE OVEN FOR R-23AT
The following procedure enables the servicer to obtain the
total service counts (cook cycles) for memory cooking,
manual, repeat, double quantity cooking and defrost. The
maximum capacity of the counter is 999,999 counts,
above which the counter will reset to "0". The counter will
retain the total counts (will not clear) in the event of a power
disruption.

Note: The door on a microwave oven is designed to act
as an electronic seal preventing the leakage of
microwave energy from oven cavity during cook
cycle. This function does not require that door be
air-tight, moisture (condensation)-tight or lighttight. Therefore, occasional appearance of mois-

ture, light or sensing of gentle warm air movement
around oven door is not abnormal and do not of
themselves, indicate a leakage of microwave energy from oven cavity. If such were the case, your
oven could not be equipped with a vent, the very
purpose of which is to exhaust the vapor-laden air
from the oven cavity.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT
After adjustment of door latch switches, monitor switch
and door are completed individually or collectively, the
following leakage test must be performed with a survey
instrument and it must be confirmed that the result meets
the requirements of the performance standard for microwave oven.
REQUIREMENT
The safety switch must prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from
external surface of the oven.
PREPARATION FOR TESTING:
Before beginning the actual test for leakage, proceed as
follows;
1. Make sure that the test instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement
for instrumentations as prescribed by the performance
standard for microwave ovens must be used for testing.
3. Place the load of 275 ± 15ml of water initially at 20
± 5˚C in the centre of the oven tray. The water
container should be a low form of 600 ml beaker with
inside diameter of approx. 8.5cm and made of an
electrically non-conductive 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. Close the door and turn the oven ON with the timer set
for several minutes. If the water begins to boil before
the survey is completed, replace it with 275ml of cool
water.
5. Move the probe slowly (not faster that 2.5cm/sec.)
along the gap.
6. The microwave radiation emission should be measured at any point of 5cm or more from the external
surface of the oven.
