• As the door is closed, the contact of MONITOR
SWITCH opens. This switch creates the short circuit to
blow 10 A fuse during operation under abnormal
condition.(ie, should the contacts of primary fail to open
the circuit)
• The latches are secured by latch board. The oven light
turns on while the oven is in operation.
WHEN COOKING POWER LEVEL AND
COOKING TIME ARE SET
• The contacts of the primary switch and the secondary
switch close the circuit.
• 230V A.C. is applied to the high voltage transformer
through power control switch as shown by the solid
line.
• Turntable and circulation motor rotate.
• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by
blowing the air (coming from the intake on the
backplate) over the magnetron.
• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the
vapor in the oven through the base plate and back
plate.
• 3.5V A.C. is generated from the filament winding of the
high voltage transformer. This 3.5V is applied to the
magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through two
noise preventing choke coils. A high voltage of
approximately 2100V A.C. is generated in the
secondary of the high voltage transformer which is
increased by the action of the diode and charging of
the high voltage capacitor. The negative D.C. voltage is
then applied to the filament of the magnetron.
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN DURING
COOKING
• Both primary switch and secondary switch open to cut
off the primary winding voltage to the high voltage
transformer to stop microwave oscillation.
• Turntable and fan motor stop.
• As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch
and relay 2 and/or secondary switch fail to open, the
10A fuse opens due to the large current surge caused
by the monitor switch activation which in turn stops
magnetron, oscillation.
WHEN TOUCHING THE START KEY
WITH THE CONVECTION/GRILL
COOKING FUNCTION SELECTED.
• The contacts of the primary switch and the secondary
switch close the circuit.
• 230V A.C. is applied to the grill heater through grill
thermostat as shown by the solid line.
• Turntable rotate.
• The fan motor and circulation motor rotate.
• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the
vapor in the oven through the base plate and back
plate.

WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY
HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS

• Microwave power output measurement is made with
the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and
operated at its maximum microwave power setting with
a load of (1000 ± 5)g potable water.
• The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate
glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of
3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190
mm.
• The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient
temperature prior to the start of the test.
• The initial temperature (±1) of the water is (10±2)°C. It
is measured immediately before the water is added to
the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel, the
load is immediately placed on the center of the shelf
which is in the lowest position and the microwave
power switched on.
• The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by a
value ∆T of (10±2)°K is measured, where T is the time
in seconds and ∆T is the temperature rise. The initial
and final water temperatures are selected so that the
maximum difference between the final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5°K.

and normally close (NC) terminals of the switch. The
meter should indicate closed circuit in the door open
condition. When the door is closed, meter should
indicate an closed circuit.When the monitor switch
operation is abnormal, replace the same type of
switch.

CAUTIONS
1. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE OUTLET WHENEVER REMOVING THE OUT
CASE FROM THE UNIT. PROCEED WITH THE TEST ONLY AFTER DISCHARGING THE HIGH
VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE
HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. (SEE PAGE 5)
2. ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY MUST BE DONE WITH A LOAD (1 LITER OF
WATER IN CONTAINER) IN THE OVEN.
