R-215EW
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND
DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE
EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other
microwave source, and make repairs as necessary: (1) interlock operation, (2) proper door closing, (3)
seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage), (4) damage to or loosening of hinges and
latches, (5) evidence of dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection within the microwave generating
compartments, check the magnetron, wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity, and connections.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave
generation and transmission systems shall be repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described
in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.
(e) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal Performance Standard should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.
BEFORE SERVICING
Before servicing an operative unit, perform a microwave emission check as per the Microwave
Measurement Procedure outlined in this service manual.
If microwave emissions level is in excess of the specified limit, contact SHARP ELECTRONICS
CORPORATION immediately @1-800-237-4277.
If the unit operates with the door open, service person should 1) tell the user not to operate the oven
and 2) contact SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION and The Food and Drug Administration's
Center for Devices and Radiological Health immediately.
Service personnel should inform SHARP ELECTRONICS CORPORATION of any certified unit
found with emissions in excess of 4mW/cm2. The owner of the unit should be instructed not to use
the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.

WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of pro-
ducing very high voltage and current, contact with
following parts
may result in a severe, possibly
fatal, electrical shock.
(Example)
HighVoltageCapacitor,HighVoltagePowerTrans-
former,Magnetron,HighVoltageRectifierAssem-
bly, High Voltage Harness etc..
Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all
instructions.
Before Servicing
1. Disconnect the power supply cord , and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block 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
secondsaftertheovenhasbeenswitchedoff.Waitfor60
secondsandthenshort-circuittheconnectionofthehigh-
voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the high-
voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an
insulated screwdriver.
Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply
mustbedisconnected.Itmay,insomecases,benecessary
to connect the power supply after the outer case has been
removed, in this event,
1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove
outer case.
2. Open the door and block 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
outer case.
2. Open the door and block it open.
3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.
4. Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power
transformer.
5. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
6. Reconnectthe powersupply cordafter theouter case is
installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
After repairing
1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during
testing.
2. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
3. Reconnectthe powersupply cordafter theouter case is
installed.
4. Run the oven and check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for the
presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup
of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set
the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two (2)
minutes.When the twominutes has elapsed (timer at zero)
carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water
remainscoldcarryoutBeforeServicing procedureandre-
examine the connections to the component being tested.
When all service work is completed and the oven is fully
assembled,themicrowavepoweroutputshouldbechecked
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
shouldnotexceed1mW/cm2atanypoint5cmormorefromtheexternalsurfaceoftheoven,measuredpriortoacquisition
bya purchaser, andthereafter (through the useful life of the oven),5 mW/cm2at any point 5cm ormore from theexternal
surface of the oven.
2) Safety interlock switches:
Primaryinterlockrelay anddoorsensing switchshallprevent microwaveradiationemission inexcessof the requirement
as above mentioned, secondary interlock switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2at
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 specified 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 oven tray in the oven cavity.
3) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5˚C (68˚F) in the center of the oven cavity.
Thewater containershall bea lowform of600 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.
4) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode
5) Close the door 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-door leakage test (microwave measurement)
1) Grasptheprobeofthesurveyinstrumentandholditperpendicularto the gap between thedoorandthebodyoftheoven.
2) Movethe probe slowly,not faster than1 in./sec.(2.5cm/sec.) alongthe gap, watchingfor themaximumindication onthe
meter.
3) Checkforleakageatthedoorscreen,sheetmetalseamsandotheraccessiblepositionswherethecontinuityofthemetal
has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
Whiletestingforleakagearoundthedoorpullthedoor away from the frontoftheovenasfarasispermittedbythe 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 secondary interlock switch does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.
NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.
