4. When the cooking time is up, a signal tone is heard and
the relays (RY1+RY2+RY4) go back to their home
position. The circuits to the oven lamp, power trans-
former, 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.

The circuits to the power transformer and turntable
motorarecut off when the 1stlatchswitch and 2nd latch
switchare made open.The fan motor is cutoff when the
stop switch is made 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
oven door, and monitors the operation of the 1st latch
switch and 2nd latch switch.
6-1 Whentheovendoorisopenedduringor after the cycle
of a cooking program, the contacts (COM-NC) of the

6-3. Whentheovendoorisopenedandthecontacts(COM-
NO) of the 1st latch switch and the 2nd latch switch
remain closed and relay RY2 closes, the fuse M8A will
blow, because the contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor
switch and relay RY1 are closed and a short circuit is
caused.

to the convection heater.
4-2. The oven will continue to function for 30 minutes,
turning the convection heater on and off, as needed to
maintain the selected preheat temperature. The oven
will shut-down completely after 30 minutes.
CONVECTION COOKING CONDITION
Whenthepreheattemperatureisreached,abeepsignalwill
sound indicating that the holding temperature has been
reached in the oven cavity. Open the door and place the
food to be cooked in the oven. Program desired cooking
time and convection temperature by touching the number
pad, CONVECTION pad and Temperature pad. When the
START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1. The numbers of the digital readout start the count down
to zero.
2. The oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan motor and
convection motor are energized.
3. Heater relay (RY3) is energized (if the cavity tempera-
tureislowerthantheselectedtemperature)andthemain
supply voltage is applied to the convection heater to
return to the selected cooking temperature.
4. Upon completion of the cooking time, the audible signal
will sound, and oven lamp, turntable motor, cooling fan
motor and convection motor are de-energized. At the
end of the convection cycle, if the cavity air temperature
isabove118˚C,thecircuitto(RY4)willbemaintained(by
thethermistorcircuit)tocontinueoperationofthecooling
fan motor until the temperature drops below 118˚C, at
which time the relay will be de-energized, turning off the
fan motor. Relay (RY5) will however, open as soon as
the convection cycle has ended, turning off the convec-
tion fan motor. This will now cool and allow the damper
door to open.
5. At the end of the convection cook cycle, shut-off relay
(RY6) is energized turning on the damper motor. The
damper is returned to the open position, closing the
damper switch contacts which send a signal to the
control unit, de-energizing shut-off relay (RY6).

3. The shut-off relay (RY6) is energized.
The damper door is closed from the open position.
4. The heater relay (RY3) is energized, adding the mains
supply voltage to the convection heater.
5. Now, the oven is in the convection cooking condition.
6. When the oven temperature reaches the selected tem-
perature, the following operations occur:
6-1. The power supply voltage is added to the convection
heater and power transformer alternately.
6-2. The convection heater operates through the heater
relay (RY3) contacts and the power transformer oper-
ates through the cook relay (RY2) contacts.
6-3. These are operated by the CPU unit to supply alter-
nately within a 32 second time base, convection heat
and microwave energy.
The relationship between the convection and micro-
wave power operations are as follows.
Note: The ON and OFF time ratio does not correspond
with the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the
magnetron filament.

SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR REHEAT, SENSOR RICE COOK or
SENSOR STEAM MENU function, the foods are cooked or
defrosted without figuring time, power level or quantity.
When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it
relaystheinformationtoitsmicroprocessorwhichwillcalcu-
latethe remaining cookingtime and powerlevel 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 ac-
cording to the menu, supplementary cooking is started.
Thetimeofsupplementarycookingisdeterminedbyexperi-
ment with each food category and inputted into the LSI.

FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)
This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop
theoven'soperationifthereisafireintheovencavityduring
microwave cooking.
This accomplished by the LSI repeatedly measures the
voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (ther-
mistor) during it's 32-seconds time base comparing the
obtainedvoltagemeasurements.Ifthemostrecent voltage
measuredis300mVgraterthanthepreviousvoltagemeas-
ured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and
switches off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor
and convection motor. The LSI also stops counting down
andclosesthedamperdoorsothatnofreshairwillenterthe
oven cavity. Please refer to the following section for a more
detailed description.
Operation
Please refer to the timing diagrams below.
1. The thermistor operates within a 32-seconds time base
and it is energized for three (3) seconds and off for 29
seconds. Two (2) seconds after the thermistor is ener-
gized,thevoltageacrossthetemperaturemeasurement
circuit is sampled by the LSI and twenty one (21) sec-
onds after the thermistor is cut off the LSI turns on the
cooling fan for six (6) seconds.
2. The above procedure is repeated. If the difference
between the first voltage measured (in step 1) and the
voltagemeasuredwhentheprocedureisrepeated(step
2) is greater than 300mV the LSI makes the judgment
thatthereisafireintheovencavityandwillswitchoffthe
relays to the power transformer, fan motor and convec-
tionmotor.TheLSIalsostopscountingdownandcloses
the damper door so that no fresh air will enter the oven
cavity.
3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the
programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by press-
ingthe"START"padortheunitmayberesetbypressing

3. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this fuse M8A blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 145˚C (MG)
This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against over-
heating. If the temperature goes up higher than 145˚C
because the fan motor is interrupted, the ventilation open-
ings are blocked, the thermal cut-out will open and the line
voltage to the power transformer will be cut off and the
operation of the magnetron will be stopped.
The defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new
one.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 150˚C (CONVECTION)
The thermal cut-out protect the convection motor against
overheating.Ifitstemperatureoftheconvectionmotor rises
above 150˚C because the convection fan motor is inter-
rupted, the ventilation openings are obstructed or the other
abnormal matter occurs, the thermal cut-out opens and

THERMISTOR
The thermistor is a negative temperature coefficient type.
The temperature in the oven cavity is detected through the
resistanceofthe thermistor, andthenthecontrolunitcause
theheatingelement relay to operate, thusthecurrent to the
heating element is turned ON/OFF.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
CONVECTION MOTOR
The convection motor drives the convection fan and pro-
vides the heated air.
FAN MOTOR
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is chan-
nelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and va-
pours given off from the heating foods. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents at the oven cavity
HEATING ELEMENT
The heating element is located at the rear side of the oven
cavity.Itisintendedto heatairdrivenbytheconvectionfan.
The heated air is kept in the oven and force-circulated and
reheated by the heating element.
CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM
This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where
food is not directly heated by the heating element, but is
heated by forced circulation of the hot air produced by the
heating element.
The air heated by the heating element is circulated through
theconvection passage providedon the outercasing of the
oven cavity by means of the convection fan which is driven
bytheconvectionmotor.Itthenenterstheinsideoftheoven
throughtheventholesprovidedontherearsideoftheoven.
Next, the hot air heats the food on the turntable and leaves
the oven cavity through the vent in the center of the oven
cavity rear side wall.
Without leaving the oven, this hot air is reheated by the
heating element, passes through the convection passage
and enters the inside of the oven cavity again, in a continu-
ing cycle.
In this way, the hot air circulates inside the oven cavity to
raise its temperature and, at the same time, comes into
contact with the food being cooked.
When the temperature inside the oven cavity reaches the
selectedtemperature,theheatingelementisde-energized.
When the temperature inside the oven cavity drops below
theselectedtemperature,the heating element is energized
again.Inthisway,theinsideoftheovencavityismaintained
at approximately the selected temperature.
Whentheconvectiontimereaches0,theheatingelementis
de-energized and the convection fan stops operating and
the oven shuts off.
DAMPER OPEN-CLOSE MECHANISM
Usually, the damper is in the open position except during
convection cooking.
Damper position is set automatically by damper motor,
damper switch, damper cam and damper shaft.
These components are operated by a signal that judges if
microwave cooking or convection cooking operation is
selected by the control unit.
Microwave Cooking:
Damperisintheopenposition,becauseaportionofcooling
air is channeled through the cavity to remove steam and
vapors given off from the heating foods
It is then exhausted at the top of the oven cavity into a
condensation compartment.
Convection Cooking:
Damper is in the closed position, so that no hot air will be
allowed to leak out the oven cavity.
Damper Operation
1-1. When power supply cord is plugged in, a signal is
sensed in the control unit, and operates shut-off relay
(RY6).
1-2. Contacts of shut-off relay (RY6) close, the damper
motor is energized, opening the damper door.
1-3. When thedamper is movedto the openposition by the
dampercamthedamperswitchisclosed(ONposition).
1-4. The signalof damper switchis re-sensedin thecontrol
unit and shut-off relay (RY6) is turned off.
1-5. The A.C.line voltage to the damper motor is removed
and the motor turns off.
2. When oven is microwave cooking:
Damper is in the open position.
3. When oven is convection cooking:
3-1. Dampermotorisenergizedbytouchingtheconvection,
temperature and START pads.
3-2. When damper is in the closed position (damper switch
is OFF), its signal is sensed by the control unit, and
shut-off relay (RY6) is de-energized.
3-3. The damper is held in the closed position during the
convection cooking operation.
3-4. At the end of the convection cooking, shut-off relay
(RY6) is energized, and the damper is returned to the
open position.
NOTE: If the damper door is not in the proper position,
closedduringconvectionoropenduringmicrowave,
the control unit will stop oven operation after 1
minute.

SERVICING
WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL
Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of producing very high voltage and current, contact with any part of the
high voltage circuit will result in electrocution. High voltage capacitor, Power transformer, Magnetron, High voltage
rectifier assembly, High voltage harness.
REMEMBER TO CHECK 3D
1) Disconnect the supply.
2) Door opened, and wedged open.
3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
WARNING: AGAINST THE CHARGE OF THE
HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR
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 con-
nection of the high-voltage capacitor (that is, of the
connectingleadofthehigh-voltagerectifier)against
thechassiswiththeuseofaninsulatedscrewdriver.
Sharp recommend that wherever possible fault-finding
is carried out with the supply disconnected. It may in,
some cases, be necessary to connect the supply after
theouter case hasbeenremoved,inthisevent carry out
3D checks and then disconnect the leads to the primary
of the power transformer. Ensure that these leads re-
main isolated from other components and the oven
chassis. (Use insulation tape if necessary.) When the
testing is completed carry out 3D checks and reconnect
the leads to the primary of the power transformer.
Whenallserviceworkiscompleted,andtheovenisfullyassembled,themicrowavepoweroutputshouldbechecked
and microwave leakage test carried out
REMEMBER TO CHECK 4R
1) Reconnect all leads removed from components dur-
ing testing.
2) Replace the outer case (cabinet).
3) Reconnect the supply.
4) Run the oven. Check all functions.
Microwave ovens should not be run empty. To test for
thepresenceofmicrowaveenergy within a cavity, place
acup of coldwater on theoven turntable, closethe door
andset the microwavetimerfortwo(2)minutes. Setthe
powerlevelto HIGH and push theSTARTbutton. When
the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully
checkthatthewaterisnowhot.Ifthewaterremainscold
carry out 3D checks and re-examine the connections to
the component being tested.

CARRY OUT 3D CHECK
Isolate the magnetron from high voltage circuit by removing all leads connected to filament terminal.
To test for an open circuit filament use an ohmmeter to make a continuity test between the magnetron
filament terminals, the meter should show a reading of less than 1 ohm.
To test for short filament to anode condition, connect ohmmeter between one of the filament terminals
and the case of the magnetron (ground). This test should be indicated an infinite resistance. If a low or
zero resistance reading is obtained then the magnetron should be replaced.
MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER (1 Litre water load)
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted). Microwave output power from the magnetron can be measured by way of
IEC 705, i.e. it can be measured by using water load how much it can be absorbed by the water load.
Tomeasurethe microwave output power inthemicrowaveoven,therelationofcalorieandwattis used.
When P(W) heating works for t(second), approximately P x t/4.187 calorie is generated. On the other
hand, if the temperature of the water with V(ml) rises∆T (°C) during this microwave heating period, the
calorie of the water is V x ∆T.
NEVER TOUCH ANY PART IN THE CIRCUIT WITH YOUR HAND OR AN INSULATED TOOL
WHILE THE OVEN IS IN OPERATION.
AMAGNETRON TEST
The formula is as follows;
P x t / 4.187 = V x ∆T P (W) = 4.187 x V x ∆T / t
Our condition for water load is as follows:
Room temperature..............around 20°C PowersupplyVoltage.........Ratedvoltage
Water load.........1000 g Initial temperature...........10±2°C Heating time.........49 sec.
P = 85 x ∆T
Measuring condition:
1. Container
The water container must be a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material
thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190 mm.
2. Temperature of the oven and vessel
The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start the test.
3. Temperature of the water
The initial temperature of the water is (10±2)°C.
4. Selecttheinitial and finalwater temperature so thatthe maximum difference betweenthe final water
temperature and the ambient temperature is 5K.
5. Select stirring devices and measuring instruments in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
6. Thegraduationof the thermometermustbescaledby0.1°Catminimumandaccuratethermometer.
7. The water load must be (1000±5) g.
8. “t” is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-
up time is not included.
NOTE:The operation time of the microwave oven is “t + 2” sec. 2 sec. is magnetron filament heat-up time.
Measuring method:
1. Measure the initial temperature of the water before the water is added to the vessel.
(Example: The initial temperature T1 = 11°C)
2. Add the 1 litre water to the vessel.
3. Place the load on the centre of the shelf.
4. Operate the microwave oven at HIGH for the temperature of the water rises by a value ∆T of
(10 ±2) K.
5. Stir the water to equalize temperature throughout the vessel.

P AH SENSOR TEST
Checking the initial sensor cooking condition
(1) The oven should be plugged in at least five minutes before sensor cooking.
(2) Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F(35˚C).
(3) The unit should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated. The unit should
not be installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit. Refer to the "INSTALLATION
Instructions" .
(4) Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for proper cooling and air flow in the cavity. To
permit adequate ventilation, be sure to install so as not to block these vents. There should be some
space for air circulation.
(5)Besuretheexteriorofthecookingcontainerandtheinterioroftheovenaredry.Wipeoffanymoisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
(6) The Sensor works with food at normal storage temperature.For example, chicken pieces would be
at refrigerator temperature and canned soup at room temperature.
(7) Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaning solvents near the oven while using Sensor settings. The
sensor will detect the vapor given of by the spray and turn off before food is properly cooked.
(8) If the sensor has not detected the vapor of the food, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut off.
Water load cooking test
Make sure the oven has been plugged in at least five minutes before checking sensor cook operation.
The cabinet should be installed and screws tightened.
(1) Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
(2) Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
(3) Close the door.
(4) Touch SENSOR REHEAT pad. The oven will operate for the first 16 seconds, without generating
microwave energy.
NOTE: ERROR will appear if the door is opend or STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during first stage of
sensor cooking.
