3. Once the fire sensor feature has shut the unit down, the
programmed cooking cycle may be resumed by pressing
the "START" pad or the unit may be reset by pressing the
"CLEAR" pad.
IMPORTANT:
During sensor cooking operation, the fire sensing op-
eration sequence will not begin until the AH sensor has
detected vapours and initiated a sensor cooking cycle.
This is because the operation of the convection fan
would interfere with the AH sensor's vapour detection.
UPPER AND LOWER LATCH SWITCHES
Those latch switches are mounted in the latch hooks as
shown in figure. They are activated by the latch heads on the
door.
When the door is opened, the switches interrupt the circuit
to all components except CPU unit and relay unit and oven
lamp. A cook cycle cannot take place until the door is firmly
closed thereby activating both interlock switches.

MONITOR SWITCH
The monitor switch is mounted on the latch hook. It is
activated (the contacts opened) by the lower latch head
when the door is closed. The switch is intended to render the
oven inoperative by means of blowning the fuse when the
contacts of the common and normal open contacts of upper
latch switch and lower latch 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. At this time the common and normal open
contacts of upper latch switch and lower latch switch are
in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to their being
normally open contacts switch.
2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch
contacts are first opened and then the common and
normal open contacts of upper latch switch close. (On

3 If the door is opened during cooking, and the common
and normal open contacts of upper latch switch and
lower latch switch fail to open, the fuse blows
simultaneously with closing of the monitor switch contacts.

STOP SWITCH
The stop switch is activated by the latch head.
When the door is opened while the oven is in cook cycle, the
stop switch contacts open to de-energize the relay (RY-
1,RY-2,RY-3,RY-5,RY-6). Then the cook cycle is stopped.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 150˚C (OVEN)
The oven thermal cut-out located on the left side of the
thermal protection plate is designed to prevent damage to
the convection heater unit if an overheated condition devel-
ops in the tube due to cooling fan failure, obstructed air
ducts, dirty or blocked air intake, etc. Under normal opera-
tion, the oven thermal cut-out remains closed. However,
when abnormally high temperatures are reached within the
heater unit, the oven thermal cut-out will open, causing the
oven to shut down. When the oven has cooled temperature,
the oven thermal cut-out closes.
THERMAL CUT-OUT 95˚C (FAN MOTOR)
The thermal cut-out protect the fan motor against overheat-
ing. If its temperature goes up higher than 95˚C because the
fan motor is locked or the ventilation operating are blocked,
the contacts of the thermal cut-out will open and switch off
the oven. When the thermal cut-out cools itself down to
75˚C, the contacts of the thermal cut-out will close again.
TEMPERATURE FUSE 150˚C (MG)
This fuse protects the magnetron against overheating. If the
temperature goes up higher than 150˚C because the fan
motor is interrupted, the air inlet duct is blocked or the
ventilation openings are obstructed, the fuse blows and cuts
off the power supplying to the power transformer. The
defective fuse must be replaced with new rated one.
