OPERATION SEQUENCE
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay control switch).
IMPORTANT
Whentheovendoorisclosed,themonitorswitchcontacts
(COM-NC) must be open.

CONNECTED COMPONENTS RELAY
Oven lamp, Fan motor, Turntable motor RY1
Power transformer RY2
1. Ratedvoltage is supplied to theprimary winding of the
power transformer. The voltage is converted to about
3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding and high
voltage of approximately 2000 volts A.C. on the
secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the
magnetronfilamentandthehighvoltage(2000volts)is
sentto the voltage doubling circuit,where itis doubled
to negative voltage of approximately 4000 volts D.C..
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the
magnetron generates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This
energyis channeled throughthewaveguide(transport
channel)intothe oven cavity,wherethefood is placed
to be cooked.
4. Whenthecookingtimeisup,asignaltoneisheardand
the relays RY1+RY2 go back to their home position.
The circuits to the oven lamp, power transformer, fan
motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
switches come to the following condition
CONDITION
DURING DOOR OPEN
SWITCH CONTACT COOKING
(NOCOOKING)
1st. latch switch COM-NO Closed Open
2nd. interlock relay
control switch COM-NO Closed Open
Monitor switch COM-NC Open Closed
The circuits to the power transformer, fan motor and
turntable motor are cut off when the 1st. latch switch
and2nd. interlock relaycontrol switch aremade open.
The oven lamp remains on even if the oven door is
opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted,
because the relay RY1 stays closed. Shown in the
display is the remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by
ovendoor,andmonitorstheoperationofthe1st.latch
switch and 2nd. interlock relay.
6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch must open their
contacts first.
After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor
switch can be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch must be opened. After that
thecontactsofthe1st.latchswitchand2nd.interlock
relay control switch are closed.
6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of
the1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain
closed.ThefuseM10Awillblow,becausethemonitor
switch is closed and a short circuit is caused.

COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, rated voltage is supplied to the power transformer
intermittently within a 32-second time base through the
relay contact which is coupled with the current-limiting
relay. The following levels of microwave power are given.

NOTE: TheON/OFFtimeratiodoesnotexactlycorrespond
to the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating up the
magnetron filament.
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR COOK or SENSOR INSTANT RE-
HEAT function, the foods are cooked or reheated without
figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven
senses enough steam from the food, it relays the informa-
tiontoitsmicroprocessorwhichwillcalculatetheremaining
cooking time and power level needed for best results.
When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The
sensor “senses” the vapor and its resistance increases
gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set
according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by ex-
perimentwitheachfoodcategoryandinputtedintotheLSI.
An example of how sensor works:
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
