INSTALLATION The Microwave Oven is supported by a special bracket assembly (mounting system) supplied with the oven. The bracket assembly must be mounted to the wall with toggle bolts through the wall, and a lag screw into a wall stud. After the bracket assembly is installed, the unit can be slid over the two rails of the bracket assembly.
REUSABLE GREASE FILTERS The metal filter trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the microwave. For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood the vent fan is used. The grease filter should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.
4. Disassembly and Reassembly MAGNETRON, MOTOR ASSEMBLY, VENT BLOWER AND HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER Oven must be removed from wall. REMOVING OVEN FROM WALL (2 PEOPLE REQUIRED) Oven is hooked on metal tabs at bottom of wall mounting plate and to cabinet by (3) top cabinet bolts. 4-1 Replacement of High Voltage Transformer and Fan Motor Assembly.
4-3 Replacement of Door Assembly 4-3-1 Removal of Door "C" Open the door and remove the door by pulling up from hinge holes. Door "A" Door "C" 4-3-2 Removal of Door "E" Door "E" Following the procedure as shown in the figure, insert and bend a thin metal plate between Door "E"...
4-3-4 Reassembly Test After replacement of the defective component parts of the door, reassemble it and follow the instructions below for proper installation and adjustment so as to prevent an excessive microwave leakage. 1. When mounting the door to the oven, be sure to adjust the door parallel to the bottom line of the oven face plate by moving the upper hinge and lower hinge in the direction necessary for proper alignment.
4-6 Replacement of stirrer motor 1. Disconnect power and remove grille screws(2). 2. Remove grille and the bracket duct upper screw(1). 3. Remove the bracket duct upper and disconnect the stirrer motor wire. 4. Remove stirrer motor screws(2) and pull the stirrer motor.
4-8 Replacement of Control Circuit Board 4-8-1 Removal of Control Box 1. Disconnect power and remove grille. Screw 2. Be sure to ground any static electric charge in your body and never touch the control circuit. 3. Disconnect the connectors from the control circuit board.
5. Alignment and Adjustments PRECAUTION 1. High voltage is present at the high voltage terminals during any cook cycle. 2. It is neither necessary nor advisable to attempt measurement of the high voltage. 3. Before touching any oven components or wiring, always unplug the oven from its power source and discharge the high voltage capacitor.
5-4 High Voltage Capacitor 1. Check continuity of the capacitor with the meter set at the highest resistance scale. 2. Once the capacitor is charged, a normal capacitor shows continuity for a short time, and then indicates 9M Ω . 3.
5-8 VENT EXHAUST BLOWER MOTOR THIS COMPONENT REQUIRE REMOVAL OF MICROWAVE OVEN FROM INSTALLATION FOR SERVICING. The blower is a two speed (HI-LO) capacitor run blower assembly located on top of the micro- wave oven. The blower is operated by low DAMPER ASM voltage relays located on the smart board.
5-9 THERMAL CUTOUT(TCO'S) There are 4 different thermal cutouts in this unit with 4 different purposes. They are : 1. Oven thermal cutout (flame sensor), on cavity top. 2. Hood thermal cutout, on floor of control area. 3. Bottom thermal cutout, on floor of control area. 4.
5-9-3 Bottom Thermal Cutout THIS COMPONENT REQUIRE REMOVAL OF MICROWAVE OVEN FROM INSTALLATION FOR HOOD THERMAL CUTOUT SERVICING. During a fire on the stove the heat could be intense enough to close the Hood Thermal Cutout and force the fan to run. While at moderate high temperature we do want it to run, however during a fire it is advantage- ous to NOT have the vent fan running.

5-10 SENSOR The Sensor Cooking Function uses a special gas sensor which detects both humidity(steam) and VENT MOTOR hydrocarbons(food odors) during the cooking process. Before conducting either of the sensor tests below, ensure the unit is plugged into a will outlet for at least 5 minutes.
5-11 Output Power of Magnetron CAUTION MICROWAVE RADIATION PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT ALLOW EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE RADIATION FROM MICROWAVE GENERATOR OR OTHER PARTS CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY. The output power of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test. Equipment needed : * Two 1-liter cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel (Outside diameter 190 mm) * One glass thermometer with mercury column...
2) If the radiation leakage is more than 4 mW/cm after determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning properly and the identical parts are replaced as listed in this manual notify that fact to ; SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS AMERICA, INC. SERVICE DIVISION 400 VALLEY ROAD, SUITE 201 MT.
6. Troubleshooting PRECAUTION 1. CHECK GROUNDING BEFORE CHECKING FOR TROUBLE. 2. BE CAREFUL OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE CIRCUIT. 3. DISCHARGE THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR. 4. WHEN CHECKING THE CONTINUITY OF THE SWITCHES OR TRANSFORMER, DISCONNECT ONE LEAD WIRE FROM THESE PARTS AND THEN CHECK CONTINUITY WITHOUT THE POWER SOURCE ON.
