WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave Oven units contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current,
contact with following parts
may result in a severe, possibly fatal, electrical shock.
(Example)
High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Power Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectier
Assembly, High Voltage Harness, Heating Elements, etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all instructions.
Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then
remove cabinet.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE
CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.
The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60
seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for
60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the
high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the
high-voltage rectier) against the chassis with the use of
an insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
must be disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event:
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
neccessary covers.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other
components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.
6. After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.
When the testing is completed,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
covers.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the covers.
6. Reconnect the power supply cord.
7. Run the unit and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the covers.
3. Reconnect the power supply cord.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be operated empty. To test for
the presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a
cup of cold water on the oven tray, close the drawer and
set the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two
(2) minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at
zero) carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and
re-examine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled, the microwave power output should be checked
and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
A. Requirements:
1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave
oven should not exceed 1mW/cm2at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to
acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2at any point 5cm or more
from the external surface of the oven.
2) Safety interlock switches:
Primary interlock relay switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the requirement as above
mentioned. Secondary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess
of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.
B. Preparation for testing:
Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:
1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specied in its instruction booklet.
Important:
Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard for
microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.
2) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5O
C (68OF) in the center of the oven cavity.
The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.)
and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic.
The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage
is measured accurately.
3) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode.
4) Close the drawer and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed,
replace it with 275 ml of cool water.
C. Leakage test:
Closed-drawer leakage test (microwave measurement):
1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the drawer and the body of the
oven.
2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on
the meter.
3) Check for leakage at the drawer screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the
metal has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
While testing for leakage around the drawer, pull the drawer away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by
the closed latch assembly.
4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2,
and that the primary interlock switch/secondary interlock relay does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be
plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in a risk of electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or
20 amp. fused electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only this appliance be provided. When installing this
appliance, observe all applicable codes and ordinances.
Where a two-pronged wall-receptacle is encountered, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a
qualied electrician and have it replaced with a properly grounded
three-pronged wall receptacle or have a grounding adapter prop-
erly grounded and polarized. If an extension cord must be used,
it should be a 3-wire, 15 amp. or higher rated cord. Do not drape
over a counter top or table where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over accidentally.
NOTE:
The directed features are disabled after one minute when the oven is not in use. These features are automatically ena-
bled when the door is opened and closed or the STOP/ CLEAR pad is pressed.

OPERATION
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions dur-
ing oven operation.
OFF CONDITION
Closing the drawer activates the door sensing switch and
secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor
switch contacts are opened.)
When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the
control unit. (Page 10).
1. The display will show ashing "Enjoy Your Drawer Touch
Clear and Touch Clock".
To set any program or set the clock, you must rst touch
the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " :
" will appear.
COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER
pads. Program the power level by touching the POWER
LEVEL pad and then a Number pad.
When the START pad is touched, the following operations
occur:
1. The contacts of relays are closed and components
connected to the relays are turned on as follows.
(For details, refer to Page 10)
RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-1 Oven lamp/stir fan motor/fan motor
RY-2 Power transformer
RY-3 Stirrer motor
RY-4 Fan motor
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.3 volts
A.C. output on the lament winding, and approximately
2370 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The lament winding voltage heats the magnetron
lament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage
doubler circuit.
4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is
channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feed-
box, and then into the cavity where the food is placed
to be cooked.
5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power
transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the
generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven
will revert to the OFF condition.
6. When the drawer is opened during a cook cycle, the
monitor switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock
switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock relay are
activated with the following results. The circuits to the
stir fan motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high voltage
components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on,
and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining
in the cook cycle when the door was opened.
7. The monitor switch electrically monitors the operation of
the secondary interlock switch and secondary interlock
relay and is mechanically associated with the drawer so
that it will function in the following sequence.
8. When the drawer opens from the closed position, the
primary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock
switch open their contacts. And contacts of the relay
(RY1) remains closed. Then the monitor switch contacts
close.
9. When the drawer is closed from the open position, the
monitor switch contacts open rst. Then the contacts of
the secondary interlock switch and door sensing switch
close. And contacts of the relay (RY1) open.
If the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock
relay (RY2) fail with the contacts closed when the drawer
is opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will
form a short circuit through the fuse, secondary interlock
switch, relay (RY1) and secondary interlock relay (RY2),
causing the fuse to blow.
POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120
voltsA.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently
through the contacts of relay (RY-2) which is operated by
the control unit within a 32 second time base. Microwave
power operation is as follows:
VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME
Power 10(P-HI) 32 sec. 0 sec.
(100% power)
Power 9(P-90) 30 sec. 2 sec.
(approx. 90% power)
Power 8(P-80) 26 sec. 6 sec.
(approx. 80% power)
Power 7(P-70) 24 sec. 8 sec.
(approx. 70% power)
Power 6(P-60) 22 sec. 10 sec.
(approx. 60% power)
Power 5(P-50) 18 sec. 14 sec.
(approx. 50% power)
Power 4(P-40) 16 sec. 16 sec.
(approx. 40% power)
Power 3(P-30) 12 sec. 20 sec.
(approx. 30% power)
Power 2(P-20) 8 sec. 24 sec.
(approx. 20% power)
Power 1(P-10) 6 sec. 26 sec.
(approx. 10% power)
Power 0(P-0) 0 sec. 32 sec.
(0% power)
Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the
percentage of microwave power, because approx.
2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron
lament.

9
SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR function, food is cooked without gur-
ing time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses
enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its
microprocessor which will calculate the remaining 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 increase gradually. When the
resistance reaches the value set according to the menu,
supplementary cooking is started.
The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experi-
ment with each food category and inputted into the LSI. An
example of how sensor works: (Potatoes)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very
slowly.
MICROWAVE
2.Heat Potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted very
rapidly. You can smell the aroma as it cooks.
MICROWAVE
AH SENSOR
3.Sensor detects moisture and humidity and calculates
cooking time and variable power.
Cooking Sequence.
1. Touch one of the SENSOR pads.
NOTE: The oven should not be operated on sensor
immediately after plugging in the unit. Wait two
minutes before cooking on SENSOR.
2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, but the
power transformer is not turned on.
3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is
energized. The power transformer is turned on,
microwave energy is produced and rst stage is started.
The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove
any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.
NOTE: During this rst stage, do not open the drawer or
touch STOP/CLEAR pad.
4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the
food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking
time and the timer counts down to zero.
At this time, the drawer may be opened to stir, turn or
season food.
5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.
The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and
the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.
6. Opening the drawer or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad,
the time of the day will reappear on the display and the
oven will revert to an OFF condition. When the timer
reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.

the door sensing switch (stop switch) operates properly; that is the
contacts are closed when the drawer is closed and open when the
drawer is open. If the door sensing switch (stop switch) is good,
disconnect the at ribbon cable that connects the key unit to the
control unit and make sure the drawer sensing switch is closed (either
close the drawer or short the door sensing switch connecter). Use
the Key unit matrix indicated on the control panel schematic and
place a jumper wire between the pins that correspond to the STOP/
CLEAR pad making momentary contact. If the control unit responds
by clearing with a beep the key unit is faulty and must be replaced. If
the control unit does not respond, it is faulty and must be replaced.
If a specic pad does not respond, the above method may be used
(after clearing the control unit) to determine if the control unit or key
pad is at fault.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

4. To test for an open lament, isolate the magnetron from the high voltage circuit. A continuity check across
the magnetron lament leads should indicate less than 1 ohm.
5. To test for a shorted magnetron, connect the ohmmeter leads between the magnetron lament leads
and chassis ground. This test should indicate an innite resistance. If there is little or no resistance the
magnetron is grounded and must be replaced.

MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled condition.
HIGH VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT DURING THE COOK CYCLE, SO EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE
OBSERVED.
Power output of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. This test
should only be used if above tests do not indicate a faulty magnetron and there is no defect in the following
components or wiring: This test will require a 16 ounce (453cc) measuring cup and an accurate mercury
thermometer or thermocouple type temperature tester. For accurate results, the following procedure must
be followed carefully:
1. Fill the measuring cup with 16 oz. (453cc) of tap water and measure the temperature of the water with
a thermometer or thermocouple temperature tester. Stir the thermometer or thermocouple through the
water until the temperature stabilizes. Record the temperature of the water.
2. Place the cup of water in the oven. Operate oven at POWER 10(HIGH) selecting more than 60 seconds
cook time. Allow the water to heat for 60 seconds, measuring with a stop watch, second hand of a watch
or the digital read-out countdown.
3. Remove the cup from the oven and again measure the temperature, making sure to stir the thermometer
or thermocouple through the water until the maximum temperature is recorded.
4. Subtract the cold water temperature from the hot water temperature. The normal result should be 28ο
to 54οF (16οto 30οC) rise in temperature. If the water temperatures are accurately measured and tested
for the required time period the test results will indicate if the magnetron tube has low power output (low
rise in water temperature) which would extend cooking time or high power output (high rise in water
temperature) which would reduce cooking time. Because cooking time can be adjusted to compensate
for power output, the magnetron tube assembly should be replaced only if the water temperature rise
test indicates a power output well beyond the normal limits. The test is only accurate if the power supply
line voltage is 120 volts and the oven cavity is clean.
G MAGNETRON ASSEMBLY TEST
1. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Open the drawer and keep it open.
3. To discharge high voltage capacitor, wait for 60 seconds.
4. Acontinuity check across the DM Fuse terminals should indicate a closed circuit unless the temperature
of the DM Fuse reaches approximately 293οF(145οC).
An open thermal cut-out indicates overheating of the oven, exchange the oven DM Fuse and check
inside of oven cavity and for improper setting of cooking time or operation of control unit. Check for
restricted air ow through the vent holes of the oven cavity, especially the cooling fan and air guide.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reassemble the unit.
7. Reconnect the power supply cord.
8. Run the unit and check all functions.
