PROCEDURE
LETTER
(8) If the sensor has not detected the vapour 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 PIZZA pad of SENSOR INSTANT REHEAT once. Now, the oven is in the sensor cooking
condition and "PIZZA", "SENSOR" and "REHEAT" will appear in the display.
(5) The oven will operate for the first 16 seconds, without generating microwave energy.
NOTE: ERROR will appear if the door is opened or STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during first stage
of sensor cooking.
(6) After approximately 16 seconds, microwave energy is produced, and the display should start to
count down the remaining cooking time, and oven should turn off after water is boiling (bubbling).
If the oven does not turn off, replace the AH sensor or check the control unit, refer to explanation below.
To determine if the sensor is defective, the simplest method is to replace it with a new replacement
sensor.
(1) Disconnect oven from power supply and remove outer case.
(2) Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
(3) Remove the AH sensor.
(4) Install the new AH sensor.
(5) Re-install the outer case.
(6) Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation proceed as follows:
6-1. Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
6-2. Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
6-3. Close the door.
6-4. Touch PIZZA pad once.
6-5. The control panel is in automatic sensor operation.
6-6. The display will start to count down the remaining cooking time, and the oven will turn off
automatically after the water is boiling (babbling).
If new sensor dose not operate properly, the problem is with the control unit.
(1) Disconnect oven from power supply and remove outer case.
(2) Discharge the high voltage capacitor.
(3) Disconnect the wire leads from the cook relay.
(4) Disconnect the sensor connector that is mounted to lower portion of control panel.
(5) Then connect the dummy resistor circuit (see fig.) to the sensor connector of control panel.
(6) Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation, proceed as follows:
6-1. Touch PIZZA pad once.
6-2. The control panel is in the sensor cooking operation.
6-3. After approximately 40 seconds, push plunger of select switch. This condition is same as
judgement by AH sensor.
6-4. After approximately 3 seconds, the display shows " ENJOY YOUR PIZZA ".
If the above is not the case, the control unit is probably defective.
If the above is proper, the AH sensor is probably defective.
