remove outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING:RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
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 the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against
the chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply must be
disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary to connect the
power supply 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, and then remove outer
case.
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.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is
installed.
4. Run the oven and 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 power to HIGH and
set the microwave timer for two (2) minutes. When the two minutes
has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now
hot. If the water remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and re-examine 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 a
microwave leakage test should be carried out.

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.

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, secondary
interlock switch and 3rd. latch switch. (In this condition, the monitor
switch contacts are opened.)
When oven is plugged in, 208 volts A.C. 60 Hz is supplied to the
control unit. (Figure O-1).
1. The display will show " . ".
NOTE: When the door is opened, the oven lamp comes on.
MICROWAVE COOKING CONDITION
Press the SELECTA TIME pad. Program desired cooking time by
touching the NUMBER pads and the power level pad by touching
SELECTA POWER 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)
RELAYCONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1Oven lamp/Turntable motor
RY-2Power transformer
RY-5Fan motor
2. 208 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 2300 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, monitor switch,
door sensing switch, relay (RY1), the primary interlock relay
(RY2) and the secondary interlock switch 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 is electrically monitoring the operation of
the primary interlock relay (RY2) and the secondary interlock
switch and is mechanically associated with the door so that it
will function in the following sequence.
(1) When the door opens from a closed position, the primary
interlock relay (RY2), the secondary interlock switch and the
3rd. latch switch open their contacts. And contacts of the relay
(RY1) remain closed. Then the monitor switch contacts close.
(2) When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor
switch contacts first open and the 3rd. latch switch contacts
close, and then the contacts of the secondary interlock switch
close. And contacts of the relay (RY1) open.
If the primary interlock relay (RY2) and the secondary interlock
switch fail with their contacts closed when the door is opened, the
closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit
through the monitor fuse, relay (RY1), primary interlock relay
(RY2) and the secondary interlock switch, causing the monitor
fuse to blow.
POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 208 volts A.C.
is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the
contacts of relay (RY-2). RY-2 is operated by the control unit within
an varying time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODEON TIMEOFF TIME
100 PERCENT (100% power)32 sec.0 sec.
90 PERCENT (approx. 90% power)30 sec.2 sec.
80 PERCENT (approx. 80% power)26 sec.6 sec.
70 PERCENT (approx. 70% power)24 sec.8 sec.
60 PERCENT (approx. 60% power)22 sec.10 sec.
50 PERCENT (approx. 50% power)18 sec.14 sec.
40 PERCENT (approx. 40% power)16 sec.16 sec.
30 PERCENT (approx. 30% power)12 sec.20 sec.
20 PERCENT (approx. 20% power) 8 sec.24 sec.
10 PERCENT (approx. 10% power) 6 sec.26 sec.
0 PERCENT (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.

cavity air temperature is above 230˚F, the circuit to RY5 will be
maintained (by the thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the
cooling fan motor until the temperature drops below 195˚F, at
which time the relay will be de-energized, turning off the fan
motor. Relay RY3 will however, open as soon as the convection
cycle has ended, turning off the convection fan motor.
SPEED BAKE COOKING
Touch SELECTA PROGRAM pad 8 times and touch SET pad.
Then touch SET pad to select desired temperature. Enter cooking
time. When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur: (Figure O-3)
1. The contacts of the relays RY1, RY3 and RY5 are closed, and
the oven lamp, turntable motor, jet motor and fan motors are
energized.
NOTE : The rotate direction of the jet motor is the same as one of
the convection cooking.
2. The solid-state relays are energized and the main supply
voltage is applied to the top and side heating elements.
NOTE : After cooking, the operation of the fan motors is the
same as one of the convection cooking.
HIGH SPEED GRILL/ SPEED GRILL COOKING
Touch SELECTA PROGRAM pad 6 times and touch SET pad.
Enter cooking time. When the START pad is touched, the following
operations occur: (Figure O-4)
1. The contacts of the relays RY1, RY3, RY5 and RY6 are closed,
and the oven lamp, turntable motor, jet motor and fan motors
are energized.
NOTE : The rotate direction of the jet motor is reverse to one
of the convection cooking by the relay RY6.
2. The solid-state relays are energized and the main supply
voltage is applied to the top and side heating elements.
NOTE : After cooking, the operation of the fan motors is the
same as one of the convection cooking.
AUTOMATIC COOKING
Automatic cooking will automatically compute the oven temperature, microwave power and cooking time. And the oven will cook
according to the special cooking sequence.
FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)
This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop the
oven's operation if there is a fire in the oven cavity during microwave cooking. This fire sensing feature will operate when the
microwave power level is set to 80% or more. This is accomplished
by the LSI repeatedly measuring the voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (thermistor) during it's 32-seconds time
base comparing the obtained voltage measurements. If the most
recent voltage measured is 300 mV greater than the previous
voltage measured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and
switches off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor and jet
motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the damper
door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity. Please refer to
the following section for a more detailed description.
Operation
Please refer to the timing diagrams below.
1. The fire sensing will start after 5 minutes when the oven is
started.
2. The thermistor operates within a 32-seconds time base and it
is energized for three (3) seconds and off for 29 seconds. Two
(2) seconds after the thermistor is energized, the voltage
across the temperature measurement circuit is sampled by the
LSI and twenty five (25) seconds after the thermistor is cut off
the LSI turns on the convection fan for three (3) seconds.
3. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference between the
first voltage measured (in step 1) and the voltage measured
when the procedure is repeated (step 2) is greater than 300 mV
the LSI makes the judgment that there is a fire in the oven cavity
and will switch off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor
and jet motor. The LSI also stops counting down and closes the
damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven cavity.
4. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the
programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by pressing the
"START" pad or the unit may be reset by pressing the "CLEAR"
pad.
HIGH SPEED GRILL WITH MICRO/ SPEED GRILL
WITH MICRO/ SPEED ROAST COOKING
Touch SELECTA PROGRAM pad 9 times and touch SET pad.
Then touch SET pad to select desired temperature. Enter cooking
time. When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur: (Figure O-5)
1. The contacts of the relays RY1, RY3 and RY5 are closed, and
the oven lamp, turntable motor, jet motor and fan motors are
energized.
NOTE : The rotate direction of the jet motor is the same as one
of the convection cooking for the first time. But for the
last 15 minutes, the direction is reverse by the relay
2. The solid-state relays and relay RY2 are energized alternately,
and the main supply voltage is applied to the top and side
heating elements and the power transformer alternately.
NOTE : After cooking, the operation of the fan motors is the
RY6.
same as one of the convection cooking.
FAN MOTOR OPERATION
After cooking is completed, the fan motors will continue for 1
minute. At the end of the cooking cycle, if the cavity air temperature
is above 230˚F, the circuit to RY5 will be maintained (by the
thermistor circuit) to continue operation of the cooling fan motor until
the temperature drops below 195˚F, at which time the relay will be deenergized, turning off the fan motor.

DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pulling the door handle down and forward,
referring to the figure D-1. When the door handle is pulled down,
the latch heads are moved upward. And then when the door handle
is pulled forward, the latch heads are released from the latch hooks
right and left. Now, the door will open.

DOOR SENSING AND SECONDARY INTERLOCK
SWITCHES
The door sensing switch in the primary interlock system is mounted
in the lower position on the latch hook right, the secondary interlock
switch is mounted in the lower position on the latch hook left. They
are activated by the latch heads on the door. When the door is
opened, the switches interrupt the circuit to all components except
for the oven lamp. 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 mounted on the upper position of latch hook
left. It is activated (the contacts opened) by the left latch head 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 and secondary 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 door sensing and secondary interlock switches 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 secondary interlock switch contacts close. (On opening the
door, each of these switches operate inversely.)
3. If the door is opened, and the primary interlock relay and
secondary interlock switch contacts 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, 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.
3RD. LATCH SWITCH
The 3rd. latch switch is mounted on the upper position of the latch
hook right. When the oven door is opened, the switch interrupt the
circuit to the top and side heating elements.
THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type. The
temperature in the oven cavity is detected through the resistance
of the thermistor, and then the control unit causes the heater relay
to operate, thus the current to the heating elements is turned ON/
OFF. If the convection cooking or some cooking modes which use
the top / side heating elements is started and the oven temperature
does not rise above 100˚F (37.8˚C), the control unit will stop the
oven after 10 minutes. In this case, the thermistor may be opened.
MAGNETRON TEMPERATURE FUSE.
The temperature fuse located on the waveguide flange 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.
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.
TOP HEATER THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out located on the thermal cover upper is designed
to prevent damage to the top heating element unit if an over heated
condition develops in the top heating element unit due to convection fan failure, thermistor failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty or
blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains closed.
However, when abnormally high temperature are reached within
the top heating element unit, the thermal cut-out will open at 338˚F
(170˚C) causing the oven to shut down. When the thermal cut-out
has cooled, the thermal cut-out closes at 311˚F(155˚C).
SIDE HEATER THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out located on the thermal cover left is designed
to prevent damage to the side heating element unit if an over
heated condition develops in the side heating element unit due to
convection fan failure, thermistor failure, obstructed air ducts, dirty
or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains closed.
However, when abnormally high temperature are reached within
the side heating element unit, the thermal cut-out will open at 302˚F
(150˚C) causing the oven to shut down. When the thermal cut-out
has cooled, the thermal cut-out closes at 266˚F (130˚C).
TOP HEATING ELEMENT
The top heating element is located at the top of the oven cavity. It
is intended to heat air driven by the convection fan.

The heated air is kept in the oven and force-circulated and

SIDE HEATING ELEMENT
The side heating element is located at the left side of the oven
cavity. It is intended to heat air driven by the convection fan. The
heated air is kept in the oven and force-circulated and reheated by
the top heating element.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located in the bottom of
the oven cavity, so that the food on the turntable is cooked evenly
during cooking. The turntable may turn in either direction.
FAN MOTOR (MAGNETRON SIDE)
The 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 vapors given off from the heating
foods. It is then exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the
oven cavity.
FAN MOTOR (POWER TRANSFORMER SIDE)
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air. This
cool air is directed through the air vents surrounding the power
transformer and cools the power transformer. This air is channelled 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.

CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM
This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where food is not
directly heated by the heating element, but is heated by forced
circulation of the hot air produced by the heating elements. The air
heated by the heating elements is circulated through the convection
passage provided on the outer casing of the oven cavity by means
of the convection fan which is driven by the jet motor. It then enters
the inside of the oven through the vent holes provided on the top and
left sides of the oven. Next, the hot air heats the food on the turntable
and leaves the oven cavity through the vent in the center of the oven
cavity back side wall. Without leaving the oven, this hot air is
reheated by the heating elements, passes through the convection
passage and enters the inside of the oven cavity again, in a
continuing cycle. In this way, the hot air circulates inside the oven
cavity to raise its temperature and, at the same time, comes into
contact with the food being cooked. When the temperature inside the
oven cavity reaches the selected temperature, the heating elements
are de-energized. When the temperature inside the oven cavity
drops below the selected temperature, the heating elements are
energized again. In this way, the inside of the oven cavity is
maintained at approximately the selected temperature. When the
convection time reaches 0, the heating elements are de-energized
and the convection fan stops operating and the oven shuts off.
Flow of hot air:
The rotation direction of the jet motor is controlled by relay RY6.
When the convection fan rotates clockwise, the hot air from the
oven cavity left side wall blows stronger than one from the oven
cavity top wall. ( This mode is called “Convection mode”.) When the
convection fan rotates counterclockwise, the hot air from the oven
cavity top wall blows stronger than one from the oven cavity left
side wall. (This mode is called “JET mode”.)

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 monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY1) primary interlock
relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the monitor fuse. If the monitor fuse
is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-BA033WRKZ 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
2. Remove the outer case cabinet, referring to "OUTER CASE CABINET REMOVAL".
3. Open the door and block it open.
4. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
5. Remove the back plate from the oven, referring to "BACK PLATE REMOVAL".
6. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
7. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
8. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed
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. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet) and theback plate.
6. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case and the back plate are installed.
