In interests of user-safety the oven should be restored to its
original condition and only parts identical to those specified
should be used.
This is supplemental Service Manual for Model R-350A. This model is quite similar to Base Model R-340A. Use
this supplemental manual together with the Base Model Service Manual (Refer No. is S7717R340APHR) for
complete operation, service information, etc..

WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts
of the high voltage circuit will result in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High
voltage rectifier assembly, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
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 high-voltage capacitor (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 3D checks and then disconnect the leads to the
primary of the power transformer. 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 3D checks and
reconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
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 microwave timer for two (2)
minutes. Set the power level to HIGH and push the
START button. When the two minutes has elapsed
(timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now hot.
If the water remains cold carry out 3D checks 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.

GENERAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This Manual has been prepared to provide Sharp Corp. Service
engineers with Operation and Service Information.
It is recommended that service engineers carefully study the
entire text of this manual, so they will be qualified to render
satisfactory customer service.
CAUTION
MICROWAVE RADIATION
DO NOT BECOME EXPOSED TO RADIATION FROM
THE MICROWAVE GENERATOR OR OTHER PARTS
CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY.
Service engineers should not be exposed to the microwave
energy which may radiate from the magnetron or other
microwave generating devices if it is improperly used or
connected. All input and output microwave connections,
waveguides, flanges and gaskets must be secured. Never
operate the device without a microwave energy absorbing
load attached. Never look into an open waveguide or
antenna while the device is energized.

TEST PROCEDURES
PROCEDURE
LETTER
MKEY UNIT TEST
If the display fails to clear when the STOP/CLEAR pad is depressed, first verify the flat ribbon cable
is 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 door sensing 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.
CARRY OUT 3D CHECKS.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT
R-350A
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.
