FOREWORD
This Manual has been prepared to provide Sharp Electronics Corp. Service Personnel with Operation and Service
Information for the SHARP MICROWAVE OVENS, R-390AW, R-390AK.
It is recommended that service personnel carefully study the entire text of this manual so that they will be qualified to render
satisfactory customer service.
Check the interlock switches and the door seal carefully. Special attention should be given to avoid electrical shock and
microwave radiation hazard.
This supplemental service manual contains update information only. Please refer to base model service manual
(Refer No. is S5708R390APK/) for complete service information.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3) seal
and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches, (5)
evidence of dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and
transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual before
the oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be performed
on each oven prior to release to the owner.
BEFORE SERVICING
Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave Measurement
Procedure outlined in this service manual.
If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION immediately @1-800-237-4277.
If the unit operates with the door open, service person should 1) tell the user not to operate the oven and
2) contact SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION and Food and Drug Administration's Center for
Devices and Radiological Health immediately.
Service personnel should inform SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION of any certified unit found with
emissions in excess of 4mW/cm2. The owner of the unit should be instructed not to use the unit until the oven
has been brought into compliance.

R-390AK
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/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external
surface 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/cm2 at any point 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.
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.

and lower oven hinges.
7. Re-install choke cover to door panel by pushing.
Note: After any service to the door;
(A) Make sure that door sensing switch and secondary
interlock switch are operating properly. (Refer to
chapter "Test Procedures".).
(B) An approved microwave survey meter should be
used to assure compliance with proper microwave
radiation emission limitation standards.
After any service, make sure of the following :
1. Door latch heads smoothly catch latch hook through
latch holes and that latch head goes through center of
latch hole.
2. Deviation of door alignment from horizontal line of cavity
face plate is to be less than 1.0mm.
3. Door is positioned with its face pressed toward cavity
face plate.
4. Check for microwave leakage around door with an
approved microwave survey meter. (Refer to Microwave
Measurement Procedure.)
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 airtight, moisture (condensation)-tight or light-tight.
Therefore, occasional appearance of moisture, 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.
