• DO NOT operate on a 2-wire extension cord during
repair and use.
• NEVER TOUCH any oven components or wiring during
operation.
• BEFORE TOUCHING any parts of the oven, always
remove the power plug from the outlet.
• For about 30 seconds after the oven stops, an electric
charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When
replacing or checking, you must discharge the high
voltage capacitor by shorting across the two terminals
with an insulated screwdriver.
• Remove your watches whenever working close to or
replacing the Magnetron.
• DO NOT touch any parts of the control panel circuit. A
resulting static electric discharge may damage this
P.C.B.
• NEVER operate the oven with no load.
• NEVER injure the door seal and front plate of the oven
cavity.
• NEVER put iron tools on the magnetron.
• NEVER put anything into the latch hole and the
interlock switches area.
• Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that
the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide and
cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is
properly installed.
• Be sure that the magnetron gasket is properly
installed around the dome of the tube whenever
installing the magnetron.
2-1
CAUTIONS
Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is
high-voltage and high-current equipment.
Though it is free from danger in ordinary use,
extreme care should be taken during repair.
THE OVEN IS TO BE SERVICED ONLY
BY PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
MICROWAVE RADIATION
Personnel should not be exposed to the
microwave energy which may radiate from the
magnetron or other microwave generating
device if it is improperly used or connection.
All input and output microwave connections,
waveguide, flange and gasket must be secure
never operate the device without a microwave
energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna
while the device is energized.

INSTALLATIONS
3-1
INSTALLING
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with
a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as
misaligned door, damage around the door or dents
inside the cavity or on the exterior.
2. Put the oven on a counter, table, or shelf that is
strong enough to hold the oven and the food and
utensils you put in it. (The control panel side of the
oven is the heavy side. Use care when handling.)
3. Do not block the vent and the air intake openings.
Blocking vent or air intake openings can cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking results.
Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to
ensure proper air flow.
4. The oven should not be installed in any area where
heat and steam are generated, because they may
damage the electronic or mechanical parts of the
unit.
Do not install the oven next to a conventional
surface unit or above a conventional wall oven.
5. Use microwave oven in an ambient temperature
less than 104°F(40°C).
6. Place the microwave oven on a sturdy and flat
surface at least 10 cm(4 inches) from the wall.
7. Place the microwave oven as far away as possible
from TV, RADIO, COMPUTER, etc., to prevent
interference.

OPERATING SEQUENCE
MICROWAVE COOKING
1. Open the oven door, place the food on the turntable
in the oven, and close the oven door.
2. Set the microwave power selector to the desired
power level. There are five power levels from 90W
to MAX. The power selector can be set to any one
of these positions.
3. Set the timer to the desired cooking time. The
turntable begins to rotate and cooking starts. At the
end of cooking time you will a single ring sound,
and the lamp is turn off.
NOTE:
• Each number represents minutes. To ensure
accurate timing, it is advisable to turn the timer knob
slightly passed the desired cooking time and then
back to the proposed setting.
• Press the door opener to check the cooking
condition during oven operation. Opening the door
during oven operation automatically turns off the
oven and stops the timer. If cooking is to continue,
close the door. Cooking will be resumed until the full
cooking time has elapsed.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
• As the door is closed, the contact of MONITOR
SWITCH opens. This switch creates the short circuit to
blow fuse during operation under abnormal condition.
(ie, should the contacts of primary and secondary
switch fail to open the circuit)
• The latches are secured by latch board. The oven light
turns on while the oven is in operation.
WHEN MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL
AND COOKING TIME SET
• The contacts of the timer switch changes to ON
position when the timer knob is rotated.
(While power control knob is set at “Full Power”)
• The contacts of primary and secondary switch close
the circuit.
• Input Volts AC. is applied to the high voltage
transformer through power control switch as shown by
the solid line.
• Turntable rotates.
• The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by
blowing the air (coming from the intake holes on the
baseplate) over the magnetron.
• The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the
vapor in the oven through the upper plate.
• Timer starts rotating.
• 3.2 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of
the high voltage transformer. This 3.2 volts is applied
to the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament
through two noise preventing choke coils.
A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC 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 DC voltage is then applied to the filament
of the magnetron
WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED 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.
• Timer, turntable and fan motor stop.
•
As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch
fail to open, the fuse opens due to the large current
surge caused by the monitor switch activation which in
turn stops magnetron, oscillation.
