1. Precaution
1-1 Safety precautions ( )
Samsung Electronics 1-1
1. All repairs should be done in accordance
with the procedures described in this
manual. This product complies with
Federal Performance Standard 21 CFR
Subchapter J (DHHS).
2. Microwave emission check should be
performed to prior to servicing if the oven is
operative.
3. If the oven operates with the door open :
Instruct the user not to operate the oven and
contact the manufacturer and the center for
devices and radiological health immediatly.
4. Notify the Central Service Center if the
microwave leakage exceeds 5 mW/cm2
5. Check all grounds.
6. Do not power the MWO from a "2-prong"
AC cord. Be sure that all of the built-in
protective devices are replaced. Restore any
missing protective shields.
7. When reinstalling the chassis and its
assemblies, be sure to restore all protective
devices, including: nonmetallic control
knobs and compartment covers.
8. Make sure that there are no cabinet openings
through which people--particularly
children--might insert objects and contact
dangerous voltages. Examples: Lamp hole,
ventilation slots.
9. Inform the manufacturer of any oven found
to have emmission in excess of 5 mW/cm2,
Make repairs to bring the unit into
compliance at no cost to owner and try to
determine cause.
Instruct owner not to use oven until it has
been brought into compliance.
CENTRAL SERVICE CENTER
10. Service technicians should remove their
watches while repairing an MWO.
11. To avoid any possible radiation hazard,
replace parts in accordance with the wiring
diagram. Also, use only the exact
replacements for the following parts:
Primary and secondary interlock switches,
interlock monitor switch.
12. If the fuse is blown by the Interlock Monitor
Switch: Replace all of the following at the
same time: Primary and secondary switches,
as well as the Interlock Monitor Switch. The
correct adjustment of these switches is
described elsewhere in this manual. Make
sure that the fuse has the correct rating for
the particular model being repaired.
13. Design Alteration Warning:
Use exact replacement parts only, i.e.,
only those that are specified in the
drawings and parts lists of this manual.
This is especially important for the
Interlock switches, described above.
Never alter or add to the mechanical or
electrical design of the MWO. Any design
changes or additions will void the
manufacturer's warranty.10.Always unplug
the unit's AC power cord from the AC
power source before attempting to
remove or reinstall any component or
assembly.
14. Never defeat any of the B+ voltage
interlocks. Do not apply AC power to the
unit (or any of its assemblies) unless all
solid-state heat sinks are correctly installed.
15. Some semiconductor ("solid state") devices
are easily damaged by static electricity. Such
components are called Electrostatically
Sensitive Devices (ESDs). Examples include
integrated circuits and field-effect
transistors.
Immediately before handling any
semiconductor components or assemblies,
drain the electrostatic charge from your
body by touching a known earth ground.
16. Always connect a test instrument's ground
lead to the instrument chassis ground before
connecting the positive lead; always remove
the instrument's ground lead last.
Follow these special safety precautions. Although the microwave oven is completely safe during ordinary
use, repair work can be extremely hazardous due to possible exposure to microwave radiation, as well as
potentially lethal high voltages and currents.

17. When checking the continuity of the witches
or transformer, always make sure that the
power is OFF, and one of the lead wires is
disconnected.
18. Components that are critical for safety are
indicated in the circuit diagram by
shading, or .
19. Use replacement components that have the
same ratings, especially for flame resistance
and dielectric strength specifications. A
replacement part that does not have the
same safety characteristics as the original
might create shock, fire or other hazards.
1. High Voltage Warning
Do not attempt to measureany of the high
voltages--this includes the filament voltage
of the magnetron. High voltage is present
during any cook cycle.
Before touching any components or wiring,
always unplug the oven and discharge the
high voltage capacitor (See Figure 1-1)
2. The high-voltage capacitor remains charged
for about 30 seconds after disconnection.
Short the negative terminal of the high-
voltage capacitor to to the oven chassis.
(Use a screwdriver.)
3. High voltage is maintained within specified
limits by close-tolerance, safety-related
components and adjustments. If the high
voltage exceeds the specified limits, check
each of the special components.

The output power of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test.
Equipment needed :
* One 1-liter cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel (Outside diameter 190 mm)
* One glass thermometer with mercury column
NOTE: Check line voltage under load. Low voltage will lower the magnetron output. Brenk the line here
make all temperature and time tests with accurate equipment.
1. Fill the one liter glass vessel with water.
2. Stir water in glass vessel with thermometer, and record glass vessel's temperature ("T1", 10±1ûC).
3. After moving the water into another glass vessel, place it in the center of the cooking tray. Set the oven to high
power and operate for 51 seconds exactly. (3 seconds included as a holding time of magnetron oscillation.)
4. When heating is finished, stir the water again with the thermometer and measure the temperature ("T2").
5. Subtract T1 from T2. This will give you the water temperature rise. (∆T)
6. The output power is obtained as follows :
* Output (W) = 85.5x ∆T
7. Normal temperature rise for this model is 9ûC to 11ûC at 'HIGH'.
NOTE 1: Variations or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise.
Additional power test should be done if temperature rise is marginal.
NOTE 2: Output power in watts is computed by multiplying the temperature rise (step E) by a factor of 91
times the centigrade temperature.
The microwave heat distribution can be checked indirectly by measuring the water temperature rise at
certain positions in the oven:
1. Prepare five beakers made of 'Pyrex', each having 100 milliliters capacity.
2. Measure exactly 100milliliters off water load with a measuring cylinder, and pour into each beaker.
3. Measure the temperature of each water load. (Readings shall be taken to the first decimal.)
4. Put each beaker in place on the cooking tray as illustrated in the figure. Start heating.
5. After heating for 2 minutes, measure the water temperature in each beaker.
6. Microwave heat distribution rate can be calculated as follows:
Minimum
Temperature Rise
Heat Distribution = X 100(%)
Maximum
Temperature Rise
The result should exceed 65%.

2. Start the oven and measure the leakage using a microwave energy survey meter.
3. Set survey meter ( dual ranges) to 2,450MHz.
4. When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch spacer cone with the probe. Hold the probe
perpendicular to the cabinet door. Place the spacer cone on the door seam and move the probe along
the viewing windows and exhaust openings. Move the probe at about 1 inch per second.
If the leakage from door seam is measured near a corner, keep the probe perpendicular, making sure
the probe end(at the base of the cone) does not gt closer than 2 inches to any metal (otherwise,
erroneous readings readings will result).
5. The measured leakage must be less than 5mW/cm2.

in the center of the oven.
3. Start the oven at the highest power level.
4. Set survey meter dual ranges to 2,450MHz.
5. Using the survey meter and spacer cone as described above, measure arnear the opening of
magnetron, the surface of the air guide and the surface of the wave guide as shown in the following
photo.( but avoid the high voltage components.) The neading should be less than 5mW/cm2.
5-9-4 Measurement Notes
1. Do not exceed the limited scale.
2. The test probe must be held on the grip of the handle, otherwise a false reading may result when the
operator's hand is between the handle and the probe.
3. When high leakage is suspected, do not move the probe horizontally along the oven surface; this may
cause damage to the probe.
4. Follow the recommendation of the manufacturer of the microwave energy survey meter.
5-9-5 Record Keeping and Special Notification
1. After adjustment and repair of a radiation protection device, record for the measured values, and keep
the data.
2. If the radiation leakage exceeds 5mW/cm2(after determining that all parts are in good condition,
functioning properly and that central service center identical parts are replaced as listed in this
manual) notify the central repair facility.
3. At least once a year have the Microwave Energy Survey Meter checked for accuracy by its
manufacturer.

6. Circuit Description
6-1 When food is placed inside oven and door is closed
1. Low voltage transformer supplies the necessary voltage to the touch control circuit when power cord is
plugged in.
2. The primary interlock switch is closed.
3. The interlock monitor switch is opened. This interlock monitor switch blows the 10A fuse and stops
magnetron oscillation when the door is opened (abnormal condition).
4. The door key is caught by the door hook, this clodesthe door sensing switch is closed to send the door-
close signal to the touch control circuit.
6-2 When cooking, power and time are set by touching the function pads
1. The time appears in the display window.
2. The touch control circuit stores the cooking data at.
6-3 When the START pad is touched
1. The main relay and the power control relay are controlled by the touch control circuit.
2. An oven lamp lights the inside of the oven by (The lamp relay in the Touch Control Circuit).
3. The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by blowing the air from the intake (on the back panel)
over the magnetron fins. After cooling the fins, this air is directed into the oven to blow out the vapor.
4. 230V~50Hz AC is applied to the high voltage transformer through the contacts of primary windings (
shown by the solid line) just after the power control relay turns ON. (Fig. 1)
5. 3.4V AC is generated from the filament winding of the high voltage transformer. This 3.4V is applied to
the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament through two noise preventing choke coils.
6. High voltage (2,230 volts AC) is generated by the high voltage transformer secondary. This secondary
voltage is increased by the diode and high voltage capacitor. This resultant DC voltage is then applied
to the anode of the magnetron. As shown in Fig. 2, the first half cycle of the high voltage produced in
the secondary high voltage transformer charges the high voltage capacitor.The dotted lines indicate the
current flow. During operation of the second half cycle, the voltage produced by the transformer
secondary (plus the charge of the high voltage capacitor) is applied to the magnetron as shown in the
solid line, which cawses the magnetron to oscillate. The electrlcal interference generated by the
magnetron is prevented by the 1.6uH choke coils, 500pF filter capacitors and the magnetrons shielded
case (so that TV and radio signals are immune).
7. The power control relay is turned on intermittently by the touch control circuit (when the oven is set at
any power) except full power. The touch control circuit controls the ON/OFF time of the power control
relay in order to vary the output power of the microwave oven from Low to "Full" power. One
complete ON/OFF cycle of the power control is 30 seconds.
8. The cooking when the oven is set at any power setting is shown on the display (starts to count down.)

Circuit Description
6-4 When the door is opened during cooking
1. The primary interlock switch is opened to cut off the primary voltage of the high voltage transformer.
Thes stops microwave oscillation.
2. The door sensing switch is opened which signals the touch control circuit. The main relay stays on, the
power control relay turns off and the display stops counting down.
3. The fan motor and turn-table motor are stopped by operation of the primary interlock switch. The oven
lamp lights the inside of the oven again until the door is closed.
4. Upon opening the door, the contacts of the primary interlock switch open and the contacts of interlock
monitor switch close.
5. If the contacts of primary interlock switch do not function properly, the monitor fuse blows out because
of the large current surge (caused by the monitor switch activation, which stops magnetron oscillation).
see Fig. 3
6-5 When the CANCEL pad is touched during cooking
1. Touching the CANCEL pad once stops cooking. Touching on the pad twice cancels all programs stored
in the touch control circuit. The time of day reappears on the display window.
2. The oven lamp and cooking indicators turn off.
3. The fan motor stops.
4. The power control relay turns off to cutting the primary voltage to the high voltage transformer (This
stops magnetron oscillation).

7-1-1. Overview
7-1-2. Operation
1. If the weight of the food is less than 1.5Kg (including the cooker), the rotating dish automatically
moves to the optimum location by the elevation motor.
(If the weight is more than 1.5Kg the cooking is done in the basic location)
2. When defrosting, the weight sensor detects the weight and moves the food to the appropriate
height . (The elevation operates when the weight is less thon1.0Kg or less (including the dish)).
3. When reheating food 700g or less (including the dish), it swings once and then cookis in the basic
location. (If the weight is 700g the cooking is done in the basic location)
4. Manual cooking is done in the basic location with only the rotating motor operating.
(Maximum of 4Kg including the dish if the weight exceeds 4kg, an ÒE5Ó error occurs.)
7-1-3. Operating Principle of the Height Sensor
The weight sensor converts the weight of the food into a series of pulses that are compared to
the"zero point" wavefrom. This frequency difference determines the cooking time.

7-1-4. Zero point and Inclination Adjustment
1. Turn the power on again and set time initial condition to Ò8888Ó.
2. Put a dish inside the cooking space.
3. Press the sensor defrost( ) and power level/more,less( ) keys simultaneously until Ò0000Óis
displayed (about 5 seconds).At this time lamp and the rotating dish motor are on.
4. After 10 seconds, A normal neading is between 3150 and 3650.
5. Put the 1Kg standard weight at the center of the glass tray and close the door.
(When setting the 1Kg weight, put the metal rack, roasting spit, glass bowl and two skewers on the
glass tray. Then do the zero point adjustement.)
6. Press the sensor reheat( ) and power level/more,less( ) keys simultaneovsly until the Ò1111Óis
displayed. (about 5 seconds). At this time lamp and the rotating dish motor are on.
7. After 10 seconds, A normal reading is between 0350 and 0650.
8. Press the cancel key to complete the adjustment.

7-1-6. Hidden key
1. Check the gas sensor : Press the sensor defrost and sensor reheat keys simultaneovsly.
(Display : Between 5 and 210).
2. Child lock function : Press the cancel key for 3 seconds
(the function is executed after the buzzer sounds). To ondo the child lock,
press the cancel key for 3 seconds.
3. Cooking completion remind function : If the food is not removed after cooking,
the buzzer sounds every minute.
7-1-7. Precautions
1. Do not apply heavy load or pressure on the rotating dish
(The elevation and the weight sensor directly contact the rotating dish).
Putting food that exceeds 4kg(Total) can damage the weight sensor.
2. Use only genuine replacements that fit the model(C.E., rotating dish and supporter).
3. When food exceeding 300g(Total) is put on the rotating dish, the oven operates for only 10 minutes.
(Error E6 occwrs.)
7-1-8. Reppacing Parts
1. Discharge the capacitor for about 5 to 6 minutes after cutting the power, and then continue the work.
2. Do not damage the coating on the wires.
3. When removing the wire the terminal, hold the positive lock case with the finger and assemble it.
Otherwise use a tool (such as long nose pliers)
4. If you remove the tie during servicing, do not damage the wire. Adjust and arrange the wire and
