SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This device is to be serviced only by properly qualified service personnel. Consult the service manual for proper service procedures to assure continued safety operation and for precautions to be taken to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy. PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY...
CAUTIONS Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is MICROWAVE RADIATION high-voltage and high-current equipment. Personnel should not be exposed to the Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, microwave energy which may radiate from the extreme care should be taken during repair. magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connection.
INSTALLATIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. INSTALLING EARTHING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with This microwave oven is designed to be used in a fully a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as earthed condition.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FEATURES CONTROL PANEL 1. DISPLAY WINDOW: Used to show time of day, power level of cooking, cooking category. 2. AUTO COOK: Used to cook the foods listed by one touch. 3. AUTO DEFROST: Used to select the desired auto weight defrost programmed with weight pad.
OPERATING SEQUENCE The following is a description of component functions during oven operation. 8. AUTO DEFROST 1. SET CLOCK AUTO STOP/CLEAR START STOP/CLEAR CLOCK NUMBER START NUMBER DEFROST 9. QUICK DEFROST COOKING 2. CANCEL FUNCTION STOP/CLEAR Touch the pad whenever you need to QUICK STOP/CLEAR cancel an entry or a function currently in use.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION • A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is GENERAL DETAILS generated in the secondary of the high voltage • The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary transformer which is increased by the action of the high voltage to the micom controller when power cord is voltage diode and charging of the high voltage plugged in.
SERVICE INFORMATION TOOLS AND MEASURING INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY MEASURING INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY TOOLS Tools normally used for TV servicing are sufficient. • TESTER (VOLTS-DC, AC, Ohmmeter) • Microwave survey meter Standard tools are listed below. - Holaday HI-1500 • Diagonal pliers HI-1501 •...
MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE NOTES WHEN MEASURING REMOVED • Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. • The test probe must be removed no faster than • When you replace the magnetron, measure for 1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, microwave energy leakage before the outer case is otherwise a false reading may result.
MEASUREMENT OF MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT • Microwave power output measurement is made with The microwave power output P in watts is calculated • the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and from the following formula: operated at its maximum microwave power setting with 4187 x (T –...
