1. How a Microwave Oven Works The microwave oven is one of the great inventions of the 20th century - millions of homes in world have one. Microwave ovens are popular because they cook food incredibly quickly. They are also extremely efficient in their use of electricity because a microwave oven heats only the food - nothing else.
2-1. Function & Type (2/2) 2) GRILL COOKING This is a method of cooking with radiant heat from the grill heater on the top of the oven. This is a traditional way of cooking which quickly seals and browns food evenly.

2-2. Installation & Utensils (1/2) 1. Installation 1. Unpack your oven and place it on a flat level surface. 2. Place your oven in the level location of tour choice with more than 85cm height but make sure there is at least 30cm of space on the top and 10cm at the rear for proper ventilation.
2. Paper napkins, towels, plates, cups, cartons, and cardboard can be used in the microwave oven. Do not use recycled paper products since they may contain impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires when used in cooking. (Consult your cookbook for correct use of these products.)

The Microwave oven cook food using these characteristics. Generally, the food, whether it is large or small has humidity. So if you put this food in the microwave oven and it gets the electric wave, so the energy of it is absorbed in the food since it set up a vibration of the molecules with a frequency two billion four hundred and fifty million times per second.

Because it doesn’t become hot like the ordinary electric range. It has been used in the dinner car of the trains etc. Microwave oven has the shielded structure strictly with metal case not to leak electric wave at once not only using but on opening the door.

FOOD! WAVE FIRE! • If you give microwave to food with the microwave oven, the food and molecules of the water included in the food is turned, or moved and generates heat with the friction among the the molecules. * The water, the oil and the foods shall absorb the electric wave well.

4-2. How does the microwave oven operate? After plugging your oven into a standard household socket, press start button or turn the timer. And then switches (primary, secondary, timer) close the circuit. Eventually the input power will be applied to turntable motor, timer motor, fan motor, oven lamp and high voltage transformer.

ANTENNA ELECTRONS ANODE TESTING MAGNETRON TUBE * Disconnect power, remove the wrapper, and discharge the capacitor. * Remove the two leads from the magnetron terminals. * Connect the ohmmeter between one terminal of the magnetron and the outer case of the magnetron. If the ohmmeter reads infinity, go to below.

What’s the infrared sensor? You may be annoyed when you defrost or reheat food with microwave oven. If you reheat soup, the result is superficial. The surface is hot but inside of the soup is still cold. You have to set the clock and push “Start” again. The cooking time is much longer than you expected.

5-3. Auto moving heater What’s does move automatically? Conventional microwave oven with grill has a heater on the ceiling of cooking room. Whether you cook a pizza or chicken, the position of heater is unmovable. We changed the old way.

¥ The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of relay 2 by the applied signal to vary the average output power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL. (refer to page 1-1) ¥ One complete cycle of relay 2 is 22 seconds.
¥ Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 4 mW/cm . Always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.

MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE REMOVED ¥ When you replace the magnetron, measure for microwave energy leakage before the outer case is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring the following parts. (Circled area of Fig. below) - Around the magnetron - The waveguide WARNING : AVOID CONTACTING ANY...
MEASUREMENT OF MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT ¥ Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water. ¥ The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190mm.
