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 (throughthe usefullifeof theoven),5 mW/cm2at anypoint5cm ormore fromtheexternal
surface of the oven.
2) Safety interlock switches Primary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in
excess of 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:
Surveyinstruments that complywith therequirement for instrumentationas prescribed bythe performancestandard
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.
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.
Theplacingofthisstandardloadintheovenisimportantnotonlytoprotecttheoven,butalsotoinsurethatanyleakage
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) Grasptheprobeofthesurveyinstrumentandholditperpendiculartothegapbetweenthedoorandthebodyoftheoven.
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) Checkforleakageatthedoorscreen,sheetmetalseamsandotheraccessiblepositionswherethecontinuityofthemetal
has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents).
Whiletestingforleakagearoundthedoorpullthedoorawayfromthefrontoftheovenasfarasispermittedbytheclosed
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.

MICROWAVE 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 Figure O-2)
RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RY-2 Power transformer
RY-5 Fan motor
RY-6 Oven lamp/ Turntable motor
2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the
power transformer and is converted to about 3.1 volts
A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately
2260 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.
3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron
filamentandtheH.V.windingvoltageissenttoavoltage
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.

FIRE SENSING FEATURE (MICROWAVE MODE)
This model incorporates a sensing feature which will stop
theoven'soperationifthereisafireintheovencavityduring
microwave cooking.
This is accomplished by the LSI repeatedly measuring the
voltage across the temperature measurement circuit (ther-
mistor) during it's 32-seconds time base comparing the
obtainedvoltagemeasurements.Ifthemostrecent voltage
measured is 700mV greater than the previous voltage
measured, the LSI judges it as a fire in the oven cavity and
switches off the relays to the power transformer, fan motor,
ovenlampandturntablemotor.TheLSIalsostopscounting
down. 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
energized, the voltage across the temperature
measurement circuit is sampled by the LSI and twenty
one (21) seconds 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 700mV the LSI makes the judgment
thatthereisafireintheovencavityandwillswitchoffthe
relays to the power transformer, fan motor, oven lamp
and turntable motor. The LSI also stops counting down.
3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the

(RY6), SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH
AND MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER OP-
ERATION.(REFERTOCHAPTER"TESTPRO-
CEDURE").
NOTE: MONITOR FUSE AND MONITOR SWITCH ARE
REPLACED AS AN ASSEMBLY.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor rotates the turntable located on the
bottom of the oven cavity, so that the food on the turntable
cookevenlyduringcooking.Theturntablemayturnineither
direction.
COOLING FAN MOTOR
The cooling 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 channelled through the oven cavity to remove steam
and vapors given off from the heating food. It is then
exhausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
MONITOR FUSE
1. Themonitorfuseblowswhenthecontacts(COM-NO)of
theprimaryinterlockrelay(RY2)andsecondaryinterlock
switchremainclosed withtheovendoor openandwhen
the monitor switch closes.
2. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this monitor fuse blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 125˚C (MAGNETRON)
This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against over-
heating. If the temperature goes up higher than 257˚F
(125˚C) because the fan motor is interrupted or the ventila-
tionopeningsareblocked,thethermalcut-out willopenand
line voltages to the high voltage transformer will be cut off
and the operation of the magnetron will be stopped. The
thermal cut-out will not resume.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 170˚C (OVEN)
The thermal cut-out located on the top of the oven cavity is
designed to prevent damage to the oven if the food in the
oven catch fire due to over heating produced by improper
settingofthecookingtimeorfailureofcontrolunit.Underthe
normaloperation,theoven thermalcut-outremainsclosed.
However,whenabnormally hightemperaturesare reached
within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out will open at
338˚F(170˚C) causing the oven to shut down. The thermal
cut-out will close in at 311˚F(155˚C).
TOP HEATERS
The top heaters are located on the top of the oven cavity
assembly. The top heaters send out heat to grill foods.

SWITCHES
The secondary interlock switch is mounted in the lower
positionofthelatch hookandthedoorsensing switchin the
primaryinterlocksystemismountedintheupperpositionof
thelatchhook.They areactivatedbythelatch headson the
door. When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the
power to all high voltage components. A cook cycle cannot
take place until the door is firmly closed thereby activating
both interlock switches. The primary interlock system con-
sists of the door sensing switch and primary interlock relay
located on the control circuit board.
MONITOR SWITCH
Themonitorswitchisactivated(thecontactsopened)bythe
latch head on the door while the door is closed. The switch
is intended to render the oven inoperative, by means of
blowing the monitor fuse, when the contacts of the primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch fail to
open when the door is opened.
Functions:
1. When the door is opened, the monitor switch contacts
close (to the ON condition) due to their being normally
closed.Atthistimetheprimaryinterlockrelay(RY2)and
secondary interlock switch are in the OFF condition
(contactsopen)duetotheirbeingnormallyopencontact

Whentroubleshootingthemicrowave oven,itishelpful tofollowtheSequenceof Operationinperformingthe checks.Many
ofthepossiblecausesoftroublewillrequirethataspecifictestbeperformed.Thesetestsaregivenaprocedureletterwhich
will be found in the "Test Procedure "section.
IMPORTANT: If the oven becomes inoperative because of a blown monitor fuse, check the monitor switch, relay (RY6),
primary interlock relay (RY2), door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch before replacing the
monitor fuse. If monitor fuse is replaced, the monitor switch must also be replaced. Use part FFS-
BA021WRK0 as an assembly.
IMPORTANT: Whenever troubleshooting is performed with the power supply cord disconnected. It may in, some cases,
be necessary to connect the power supply cord 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. Ensurethattheleads remainisolatedfromother componentsandovenchassisby usinginsulationtape.
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. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
7. Run the oven and check all functions.
BOTTOM HEATER
The bottom heater is located on the floor of the oven cavity
assembly. Thebottom heater sends out heat to grill foods.
CONVECTION COOKING SYSTEM
This oven is designed with a hot air heating system where
foodisnotdirectlyheatedbythetopheatersandthebottom
heater, but is heated by forced circulation of the hot air
produced by the top heaters and the bottom heater.
The air heated by the top heaters and the bottom heater is
circulated through the convection passage provided on the
outer casing of the oven cavity by means of the convection
fan which is driven by the convection motor. It then enters
theinsideoftheoventhroughtheventholesprovidedonthe
left side of the oven. 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 wall.
Most of this hot air is reheated by the top heaters and the
bottomheater and passesthrough theconvection 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,thetopheatersandthebottomheater
are de-energized. When the temperature inside the oven
cavity drops below the selected temperature, the top heat-
ers and the bottom heater are energized again. In this way,
the inside of the oven cavity is maintained at approximately
the selected temperature.
When the convection time reaches 0, the top heaters and
the bottom heater are de-energized and the convection fan
stops operating and the oven shuts off.

MICROWAVE OUTPUT POWER
The following test procedure should be carried out with the microwave oven in a fully assembled
condition (outer case fitted).
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
shouldonlybeusedifabovetestsdonotindicateafaultymagnetronandthereisnodefectinthefollowing
componentsorwiring:siliconrectifier,highvoltagecapacitorandpowertransformer.Thistestwillrequire
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. Fillthemeasuringcupwith16oz.(453cc)oftapwaterandmeasurethetemperatureofthewaterwith
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
secondscooktime.Allowthewatertoheatfor60seconds,measuringwithastopwatch,secondhand

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. Subtractthe coldwater temperaturefrom thehot watertemperature. Thenormalresult shouldbe 22
to 43˚F(12.2 to 23.9˚C) 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

LETTER COMPONENT TEST
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. If the capacitor is open, no high voltage will be available to the magnetron. Disconnect input leads
and check for a short or open between the terminals using an ohmmeter.
Checking with a high ohm scale, if the high voltage capacitor is normal, the meter will indicate
continuity for a short time and should indicate an open circuit once the capacitor is charged. If the
above is not the case, check the capacitor with an ohmmeter to see if it is shorted between either of
the terminals and case. If it is shorted, replace the capacitor.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
8. Run the oven and check all functions.

THERMAL CUT-OUT TEST 125˚C (MAGNETRON)
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. A continuity check across the thermal cut-out terminals should indicate a closed circuit. If the
temperature of the magnetron reaches approximately 257˚F(125˚C), the thermal cut-out opens. An
open thermal cut-out indicates overheating of the magnetron, exchange the thermal cut-out. Check
for restricted air flow to the magnetron, especially the cooling fan air guide.
C HIGH VOLTAGE RECTIFIER TEST
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. Isolate the rectifier from the circuit. Using the highest ohm scale of the meter, read the resistance
across the terminals and observe, reverse the leads to the rectifier terminals and observe meter
reading. If a short is indicated in both directions, or if an infinite resistance is read in both directions,
the rectifier is probably defective and should be replaced.
5. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.
6. Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).
7. Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
