DOOR OPEN MECHANISM
The door is opened by pushing the open button on the
control panel, refer to the Figure D-1.
When the open button is pushed, the open button pushes
up the switch lever, and then the switch lever pushes up
the the latch head. The latch heads are moved upward and
released from latch hook. Now the door will open.

1ST. LATCH SWITCH, 2ND. LATCH SWITCH AND
STOP SWITCH
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts COM-NO)
must be closed.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts .(COM-
NO) must be opened.
MONITOR SWITCH
1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NC)
must be opened.
2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-
NC) must be closed.
3. If the oven door is opened and the contacts (COM-NO)
of the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. latch switch fail to open,
the fuse M10A blows simultaneously with closing the
contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor switch.
CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE
M10A TEST THE 1ST. LATCH SWITCH, 2ND.
LATCH SWITCH MONITOR SWITCH AND
MONITOR RESISTOR FOR PROPER OP-
ERATION.
MONITOR RESISTOR 0.8 20W
The monitor resistor prevents the fuse M10A bursting
when the fuse M10A blows due to the operation of the
monitor switch.
HIGH VOLTAGE FUSE
The high voltage fuse blows when the high voltage rectifier
or magnetron is shorted.
FUSE M10A
1. The fuse M10A blows when the contacts (COM-NO) of
the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. latch switch remain
closed with the oven door open and when the monitor
switch closes.

2. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this fuse M10A blows to prevent an electric
shock or fire hazard.
OVEN THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out, located on the top of the oven cavity,
is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire. If the
foods load is overcooked, by either error in cook time or
defect in the control unit, the thermal cut-out will open.
Under normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out
will open at 125˚C, causing the oven to shut down. The
defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new one.
MAGNETRON THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out located near the magnetron is de-
signed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over
heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the magnetron, the thermal cut-out will
open at 95˚C causing the oven to shut down, when the
magnetron has cooled to 75˚C, the thermal cut-out closes
and cook cycle will resume.
TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
FAN MOTOR
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is
channeled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then ex-
hausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity
NOISE FILTER
The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference
that might flow back in the power circuit.
