[2] 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±5 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
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. 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.

[1] GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING:
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp. fused electrical supply. It
is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. When installing
this appliance, observe all applicable codes and ordinances. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce risks of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Where a two-pronged wallreceptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact
a qualified electrician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three-pronged wall receptacle
or have a grounding adapter properly grounded and polarized. If the extension cord must be used,
it should be a 3-wire, 15 amp. or higher rated cord. Do not drape over a countertop or table where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
CAUTION: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE ROUND
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

CHAPTER 6. OPERATION
[1] DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.
Service Manual
1. OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates 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 noise filter
and the control unit. (Figure O-1).
1) The display will show flashing "88:88".
To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/
CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.
2. COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER pads. Program the power level by touching the POWER LEVEL pad. 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)
RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1 oven lamp/turntable motor/fan motor
RY-2 power transformer
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 2360 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 feed-box, 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, the monitor switch,
door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and
primary interlock relay are activated with the following results. The
circuits to the turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high
voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on,
and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the cook
cycle when the door was opened.
7) The monitor switch electrically monitors the operation of the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay and is mechanically associated with the door so that it will function in the following
sequence.
a) When the door opens from the closed position, the primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch open their
contacts. And contacts of the relay (RY1) remains closed. Then
the monitor switch contacts close.
b) When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor
switch contacts open first. Then the contacts of the secondary
interlock switch and door sensing switch close. And contacts of
the relay (RY1) open.
If the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay (RY2) fail
with the contacts closed when the door is opened, the closing of the
monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the monitor
fuse, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock
relay (RY2), causing the monitor fuse to blow.
3. 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 (RY-2) which is operated by the control unit within a 32 second
time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME
P-HI (100% power) 32 sec.0 sec.
P-90 (approx. 90% power) 30 sec.2 sec.
P-80 (approx. 80% power) 26 sec.6 sec.
P-70 (approx. 70% power) 24 sec.8 sec.
P-60 (approx. 60% power) 22 sec.10 sec.
P-50 (approx. 50% power) 18 sec.14 sec.
P-40 (approx. 40% power) 16 sec.16 sec.
P-30 (approx. 30% power) 12 sec.20 sec.
P-20 (approx. 20% power) 8 sec.24 sec.
P-10 (approx. 10% power) 6 sec.26 sec.
P-0 (0% power) 0 sec.32 sec.
NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the per-
centage of microwave power, because approx. 3 seconds
are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.
4. POWER OUTPUT REDUCTION
If the oven is set for more than 20 minutes at 80, 90 or 100% power
level, after the first 20 minutes the power level will automatically adjust
itself to 70% power to avoid overcooking.

[3] DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
1. DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the control panel,
refer to the Figure D-1.
When the open button is pushed, the open button pushes up the
switch lever, and then the switch lever pushes up the latch head. The
latch heads are moved upward and released from latch hook. Now the
door will open.

Latch Hook
Door Sensing
Switch
Monitor Switch
Secondary
Interlock Switch
2. DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower position of the
latch hook and the door sensing switch in the primary interlock system
is mounted in the upper position of the latch hook. They are activated
by the latch heads on the door. When the door is opened, the switches
interrupt the power to all high voltage components. A cook cycle cannot take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating both
interlock switches. The primary interlock system consists of the door
sensing switch and primary interlock relay located on the control circuit
board.
3. 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 primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary
interlock switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1) When the door is opened, the monitor switch contacts close (to the
ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At this time the
primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch are in
the OFF condition (contacts open) due to its 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 and secondary
interlock switch contacts close.
3) If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay (RY2) and the
secondary interlock switch contact fail to open, the monitor fuse
blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITOR FUSE, TEST
THE DOOR SENSING SWITCH, PRIMARY INTERLOCK
RELAY (RY2), SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH AND
MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OPERATION. (REFER
TO CHAPTER “TEST PROCEDURE”).
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE REPLACED
AS AN ASSEMBLY.
4. TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the bottom of the
oven cavity, so that the food on the turntable is cooked evenly. The
turntable may turn in either direction.
5. COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vents surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. 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.
6. TEMPERATURE FUSE (MAGNETRON)
The temperature fuse located near the magnetron 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, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the magnetron, the temperature fuse will open at
302°F(150°C) causing the oven to shut down.
7. THERMAL CUT-OUT (OVEN)
The thermal cut-out, located on the top of the oven cavity, 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 thermal cutout will open. Under normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out
remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out will open at
293°F(145°C), causing the oven to shut down.
8. TEMPERATURE FUSE (OVEN)
The temperature fuse, located on the top of the oven cavity, 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 thermal cut-out will open. Under normal operation, the temperature
fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures
are reached within the oven cavity, the temperature fuse will open at
302°F(150°C), causing the oven to shut down.
9. MONITOR FUSE
1) The monitor fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of the primary interlock relay (RY2) and the secondary interlock switch
remain closed with the oven door open and when the monitor
switch closes.
2) .If the wire harness or electrical components are short-circuited,
this monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or fire hazard.
10. NOISE FILER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference that might
flow back in the power circuit.

CHAPTER 8. TEST PROCEDURES
Service Manual
[1] Procedure A: MAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST
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. To test for an open filament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check across the magnetron filament leads should
indicate less than 1 ohm.
5. To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron filament leads and chassis ground. This test should indicate
an infinite resistance. If there is little or no resistance the magnetron is grounded and must be replaced.
6. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
7. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
8. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
9. Run the oven and check all functions.
1. MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled condition (outer case fitted).
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE OBSERVED.
Power output of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. This test should only be used if above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in the following components or wiring: silicon rectifier, high voltage capacitor and power transformer.
This test will require a 16 ounce (453cc) measuring cup and an accurate mercury thermometer or thermocouple type temperature tester. For accurate
results, the following procedure must be followed carefully:
1. Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453cc) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water with a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
2. Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven at P-HI (100% Power) selecting more than 60 seconds cook time. Allow the water to heat for 60
seconds, measuring with a stop watch, second hand of a watch or the digital read-out countdown.
3. Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the water until
the maximum temperature is recorded.
4. Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should be 32.1 to 59.7°F(17.9 to 33.2°C) rise in tempera-
ture. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and tested for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube
has low power output (low rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high power output (high rise in water temperature) which
would reduce cooking time. Because cooking time can be adjusted to compensate for power output, the magnetron tube assembly should be
replaced only if the water temperature rise test indicates a power output well beyond the normal limits. The test is only accurate if the power supply
line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity is clean.
[2] Procedure B: POWER TRANSFORMER TEST
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 primary input terminals and measure the resistance of the transformer with an ohmmeter. Check for continuity of the coils with an
ohmmeter. On the R x 1 scale, the resistance of the primary coil should be less than 1 ohm and the resistance of the high voltage coil should be
approximately 150 ohms (RTRN-A729WRZZ) or 125 ohms (RTRN-A730WRZZ); the resistance of the filament coil should be less than 1 ohm.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
(HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT AT THE HIGH VOLTAGE TERMINAL, SO DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MEASURE THE FILAMENT AND HIGH
VOLTAGE.)
[3] Procedure C: HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
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. Isolate the rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter, read the resistance across the terminals and observe, reverse the
leads to the rectifier terminals and observe meter reading. If a short is indicated in both directions, or if an infinite resistance is read in both directions, the rectifier is probably defective and should be replaced.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.
NOTE: Be sure to use an ohmmeter that will supply a forward bias voltage of more than 6.3 volts.
[4] Procedure D: HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR TEST
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. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input leads and check for short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.
Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate continuity for a short time and should indicate an
open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either
of the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.

The touch control section consists of the following units as shown in
the touch control panel circuit.
(1) Key Unit (2) Control Unit
The principal functions of these units and their related signals are
explained below.
1. Key Unit
The key unit is composed of a matrix, signals generated in the LSI are
sent to the key unit through P24, P25, P26, P31, P32 and P33. When
a key pad is touched, a signal is completed through the key unit and
passed back to the LSI through P50, P51, P52 and P53 to perform the
function that was requested.
2. Control Unit
Control unit consists of LSI, reset circuit, indicator circuit, power
source circuit, relay circuit, buzzer circuit and synchronizing signal circuit.
1) Reset Circuit
This circuit generates a signal which resets the LSI to the initial
state when power is supplied.
2) Indicator Circuit
This circuit consists of 4-digits, 12-segments and 3-common electrodes using a Liquid Crystal Display.
3) Power Source Circuit
This circuit generates voltage necessary in the control unit from the
AC line voltage. In addition, the synchronizing signal is available in
order to compose a basic standard time in the clock circuit.
SymbolVoltageApplication
VSS-5VLSI(IC1)
4) Relay Circuit
To drive the magnetron, fan motor, turntable motor and light the
oven lamp.
5) Buzzer Circuit
The buzzer is responsive to signals from the LSI to emit audible
sounds (key touch sound and completion sound).

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 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.
approx. 1M ohm
2. 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 MICRO-
WAVE OVEN IS STILL LIVE DURING SERVICING AND
PRESENTS A HAZARD.
Therefore, before checking the performance of the touch control
panel,
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, re-connect the power supply cord.
After checking the performance of the touch control panel,
1) Disconnect the power supply cord.
2) Open the door and block it open.
3) Re-connect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
4) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
5) Re-connect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
6) Run the oven and check all functions.
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 so 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 sensorrelated controls of the touch control panel, checking them is
possible if the 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).
3. Servicing Tools
Tools required to service the touch control panel assembly.
1) Soldering iron: 60W
(It is recommended to use a soldering iron with a grounding terminal.)
2) Oscilloscope: Single beam, frequency range: DC - 10MHz type or
more advanced model.
3) Others: Hand tools
4. 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.

CHAPTER 10. PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER
Service Manual
[1] Employing lead-free solder
The “Main PWB” of this model employs lead-free solder. This is indicated by the “LF” symbol printed on the PWB and in the service manual. The suffix
letter indicates the alloy type of the solder.
Example:
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper
[2] Using lead-free wire solder
When repairing a PWB with the “LF” symbol, only lead-free solder should be used. (Using normal tin/lead alloy solder may result in cold soldered
joints and damage to printed patterns.)
As the melting point of lead-free solder is approximately 40°C higher than tin/lead alloy solder, it is recommend that a dedicated bit is used, and that
the iron temperature is adjusted accordingly.
[3] Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher and has poorer wettability, (flow), to prevent damage to the land of the PWB, extreme
care should be taken not to leave the bit in contact with the PWB for an extended period of time. Remove the bit as soon as a good flow is achieved.
The high content of tin in lead free solder will cause premature corrosion of the bit. To reduce wear on the bit, reduce the temperature or turn off the
iron when it is not required.
Leaving different types of solder on the bit will cause contamination of the different alloys, which will alter their characteristics, making good soldering
more difficult. It will be necessary to clean and replace bits more often when using lead-free solder. To reduce bit wear, care should be taken to clean
the bit thoroughly after each use.
