SERVICE INFORMATION
Tools and Measuring Instruments
CAUTIONS
●Be sure to check a microwave emission prior to ser-
vicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to ser-
vicing.
●If the oven operates with door open, the service
personnel should;
— Tell the user not to operate the oven
●The service personnel should check all surface and
vent openings for microwave emission testing.
●Check for microwave energy leakage after every
servicing. The power density of the microwave radi-
ation leakage emitted by the microwave oven
should not exceed 4 mW/cm2.
And always start measuring of an unknown field to
assure safety for operating personnel from radia-
tion leakage.
NOTE: The standard is 5 mW/cm2while in the cus-
tomer's home. 4 mW/cm2stated here is manufac-
turer's own voluntary standard for units in cus-
tomer's home.
EQUIPMENT
●Microwave Survey Meter
●600cc glass beaker
●Glass thermometer 100°C
MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY
LEAKAGE
●Pour 275¡15cc of 20°C¡5°C water in a beaker
which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker
on the center of the turntable.
●Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and
use it following the manufacturer's recommended
test procedure to assure correct result.
●When measuring the leakage, always use the 2
inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
●Operate the oven at its maximum output.
●Measure the microwave radiation using and electro-
magnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe
perpendicular to the surface being measured.
Microwave Leakage Test
Move probe along shaded area.
Probe scanning speed;
Less than 2.5 cm/sec

5-2
MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER
CASE REMOVED
●When you replace the magnetron, measure
microwave energy leakage before the out case is
installed and after all necessary components are
replaced or adjusted.
Special care should be taken in measuring the fol-
lowing parts. (Shaded area of below Fig.)
— Around the magnetron
— The waveguide
MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY ASSEM-
BLED OVEN
●After all components, including the outer panels,
are fully assembled, measure for microwave ener-
gy leakage around the door viewing window, the
exhaust opening and air inlet openings.
●Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the
values prescribed below.
NOTES:
Leakage with the outer panels removed
—
less than
5 mW/cm2.
Leakage for a fully assembled oven ("Before the latch
switch (primary) interrupted") with the door in a slight-
ly opened position - less than 4 mW/cm2.
NOTES WHEN MEASURING
●Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
●The test probe must be removed no faster than,
1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, oth-
erwise a false reading may result.
●The test probe must be held with the grip portion of
the handle.
A false reading may result if the operator's hand is
between the handle and the probe.
●When testing near a corner of the door, keep the
probe perpendicular to the surface making sure the
probe horizontally along the oven surface, this may
possibly cause probe damage.
RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION
AFTER MEASUREMENT
●After adjustment and repair of any microwave ener-
gy interruption or microwave energy blocking
device, record the measured values for future refer-
ence. Also enter the information on the service
invoice.
●Should the microwave energy leakage not be more
than 4 mW/cm2after determining that all parts are
in good condition, functioning properly and genuine
replacement parts which are listed in this manual
have been used.
●At least once a year, have the electromagnetic
energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by
its manufacture.
WARNING: AVOID CONTACTING ANY
HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS

5-3
●Microwave power output measurement is made
with the microwave oven supplied at its rated volt-
age 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 tem-
perature prior to the start of the test.
●The initial temperature (T1) 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 tem-
perature is 5°K.
●The microwave power output P in watts is calculat-
ed from the following formula:
P=
is measured while the microwave generator is
operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up
time is not included. (about 2 sec.)
●The water is stirred, to equalize temperature
throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final
water temperature.
●Stirring devices and measuring instruments are sel-
ected in order to minimize addition or removal of
heat.
