Variable Cooking
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, 240 volts
AC 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-Mode ON TIME OFF TIME
Power 10 (High) (100% Power) 32 sec. 0 sec.
Power 9 (P-90) (Approx. 90%) 30 sec. 2 sec.
Power 8 (P-80) (Approx. 80%) 26 sec. 6 sec.
Power 7 (P-70) (Approx. 70%) 24 sec. 8 sec.
Power 6 (P-60) (Approx. 60%) 22 sec. 10 sec.
Power 5 (P-50) (Approx. 50%) 18 sec. 14 sec.
Power 4 (P-40) (Approx. 40%) 16 sec. 16 sec.
Power 3 (P-30) (Approx. 30%) 12 sec. 20 sec.
Power 2 (P-20) (Approx. 20%) 8 sec. 24 sec.
Power 1 (P-10) (Approx. 10%) 6 sec. 26 sec.
Power 0 (P-0) (0% power) 0 sec. 32 sec.
PREHEAT CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
Program desired convection temperature by touching the
CONVECTION pad and TEMPERATURE pad. When the
START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
(See Figure 2-3)
1. The coil of shut-off relays (RY1, RY3 and RY5) are
energized, the oven lamp, cooling fan motor, turn-
table motor and convection motor are turned on.
2. The coil of relay (RY4) is energized by the control
unit. The damper is moved to the closed position,
opening the damper switch contacts. The closing of
the damper switch contacts sends a signal to the LSI
on the control unit de-energizing the relay (RY4) and
opening the circuit to the damper motor.
3. The solid-state relays are energized by the control
unit and the main supply voltage is applied to the top
and side heating elements.
4. When the oven temperature reaches the selected
preheat temperature, the following operations occur:
A. The solid-state relays are de-energized by the
control unit temperature circuit and thermistor,
opening the circuit to the heating elements.
The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power, because approx. 2
seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron
filament.
B. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,
turning heater elements on and off as needed to
maintain the selected preheat temperature. The
oven will shut-down completely after 30 minutes.
CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
When the preheat temperature is reached, a beep signal
will sound indicating that the holding temperature has
been reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and
place the food to be cooked in the oven.
Touch CONVECTION pad first and then TEMPERATURE
pad. Program desired cooking time by touching the
NUMBER pads. When the START pad is touched, the
following operations occur: (See Figure 2-3)
1. The numbers on the digital read-out start to count
down to zero.
2. The oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor
and convection motor are energized.
3. The damper is moved to the closed position.
4. The solid-state relays are energized (if the cavity
temperature is lower than the selected temperature)
and the main supply voltage is applied to the heating
elements to return to selected cooking temperature.
5. Upon completion of cooking time, the audible signal
will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling
fan motor and convection motor are de-energized.
At the end of the convection 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 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.
6. At the end of the convection cook cycle, if the cavity
air temperature is below 250°F, shut-off relay (RY4)
is energized turning on the damper motor. The
damper is returned to the open position, closing the
damper switch contacts which send a signal to the
control unit, de-energizing shut-off relay (RY4).
When “Preheat” and “Convection” is programmed
continuously, after preheat, the heating elements
operate as follows.
When one of 100°F to 375°F is selected, for the first
1 minute, the top and side heating elements are not
energized. When one of 400°F to 450°F is selected,
for the first 2 minutes, the top and side heating
elements are not energized.
