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

CHAPTER 6. OPERATION
[1] DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.
R420LW
Service Manual
1. OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and primary 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 “ENJOY YOUR OVEN PRESS CLEAR AND
PRESS CLOCK”.
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 POWERLEVEL pad and then a
Number 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 2370 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 witch,
door sensing switch, primary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and secondary 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 primary interlock switch and secondary 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 secondary
interlock relay (RY2) and primary 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 primary
interlock switch and door sensing switch close. And contacts of
the relay (RY1) open.
If the primary interlock switch and secondary 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, primary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and secondary 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
After 80%, 90% or 100% power cooking mode is carried out for more
than 30 minutes, the power out-put is automatically reduced to 70%.
5. SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR unction, the food is cooked without figuring time,
power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the
food, it relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate
the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results.
When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor
“senses” the vapor and its resistance increases gradually. When the
resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the
LSI.
An example of how sensor works: (POTATOES)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very slowly.

[2] OVEN SCHEMATIC
1. Off Condition
2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, the turntable motor,
oven lamp and cooling fan motor are turned on, but the power
transformer is not turned on.
3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is energized. The
power transformer is turned on, microwave energy is produced and
first stage is started. The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to
remove any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the door or touch STOP/
CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking time and the timer
counts down to zero. At this time, the door may be opened to stir,
turn, or season food.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shutoff relay and cook relay are de-energized and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the time of
day will reappear on the display and the oven will revert to an OFF
condition.
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.

2. DOOR SENSING AND PRIMARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The primary interlock switch is mounted in the lower position of the
latch hook and the door sensing switch in the secondary 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 there by activating both interlock switches.
The secondary interlock system consists of the door sensing switch
and secondary 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 secondary interlock relay (RY2) and primary
interlock switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1) When the door is opened, the monitor switch contact close (to the
ON condition) due to their being normally closed. At this time the
secondary interlock relay (RY2) and primary interlock switch are 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 contacts
are first opened and then the door sensing switch and the primary
interlock switch contacts close. (On opening the door, each of these
switches operate inversely.)
3) If the door is opened, and the secondary interlock relay (RY2) and
primary interlock switch contacts fail to open, the monitor fuse
blows simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN MONITORFUSE TEST

R420LW
4. TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the bottom of the
oven cavity, so that the foods on the turntable cook evenly during
cooking. 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 vanes surrounding the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is channeled through the oven
cavity to remove steam and vapors given off from the heating foods. It
is then exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity.
6. OVEN THERMAL CUT-OUT
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.
7. MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE
The magnetron 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
magnetron temperature fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the magnetron, the magnetron temperature fuse will open at 302°F(150°C) causing the oven
to shut down.
NOTE: This is a fuse. It does not reset.
8. MONITOR FUSE
1) The monitor 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 short-circuited, this
monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or fire hazard.
9. NOISE FILER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference that might
flow back in the power circuit.
