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/cm
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/cm
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.
2
at any point 5cm or more from the external surface
2
at any point
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.
2
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm
, and that
the secondary interlock switch and the primary interlock relay do 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
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 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.
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 deenergized, the oven lamp remains on, and the digital readout 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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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 C/T fuse, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1)
and primary interlock relay (RY2), causing the C/T 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 (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 (approx. 0% power) 0 sec. 32 sec.
Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with
the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.

DESCRIPTION AND FUNCTION OF COMPONENTS
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

Figure D-1. Door Open Mechanism
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.
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 C/T 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
C/T fuse blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor
switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN C/T 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: C/T FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE
REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.
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.
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.
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 temperature fuse 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.
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 cut-out 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.
C/T FUSE
1. The C/T fuse blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of the
primary interlock relay (RY2) and 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 shortcircuited, this C/T fuse blows to prevent an electric shock
or fire hazard.
3. The C/T fuse, located near the magnetron, is designed to
prevent damage to the magnetron. If an over heated condition
develops in the magnetron due to cooling fan failure,
obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc., the C/
T fuse will open.
Under normal operation, the C/T fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within
the oven cavity, the C/T fuse will open at 302˚F (150˚C),
causing the oven to shut down or when the electric currents
beyond 20A flow, the C/T fuse will open.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Never touch any part in the circuit with your hand or an uninsulated tool while the power supply is connected.
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 C/T fuse, check the monitor switch, primary interlock
relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the C/T fuse. If C/T fuse is
replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA034WRKZ as an assembly.
IMPORTANT: Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord disconnected. It may in, some cases, be
necessary to connect the power supply cord 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 the 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.
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.
