PROCEDURE
LETTER
P AH SENSOR TEST
Checking the initial sensor cooking condition
WARNING :The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
(1) The oven should be plugged in at least two minutes before sensor cooking.
(2) Room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
(3) The unit should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated. The unit should
not be installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit. Refer to the "INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS" of the operation manual.
(4) Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for proper cooling and air flow in the cavity. To
permit adequate ventilation, be sure to install so as not to block these vents. There should be some
space for air circulation.
(5) Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture
with a dry cloth or paper towel.
(6) The Sensor works with food at normal storage temperature. For example, chicken pieces would be
at refrigerator temperature and canned soup at room temperature.
(7) Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaning solvents near the oven while using Sensor settings. The
sensor will detect the vapour given of by the spray and turn off before food is properly cooked.
(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
WARNING :The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.
Make sure the oven has been plugged in at least two 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 Sensor reheat pad once and touch the Start pad, Now, the oven is in the sensor cooking
condition and "SENSOR REHEAT" and "COOK" 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 Clear/Off pad is touched during first stage of
sensor cooking.
(6) After approximately 32 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 the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.
(2) Open the door and block it open.
(3) Discharge high voltage capacitor.
(4) Remove the AH sensor.
(5) Install the new AH sensor.
(6) Reconnect all leads removed from components during replacing.
(7) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).
(8) Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.
(9) Reconnect the oven to the power supply cord and check the sensor cook operation proceed as
follows:
9-1. Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
9-2. Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity.
9-3. Close the door.
9-4. Touch Sensor reheat pad once and touch the Start pad.
9-5. The control panel is in automatic Sensor operation.
9-6. The display will start to count down the remaining cooking time, and the oven will turn off
automatically after the water is boiling (bubbling).
If new sensor dose not operate properly, the problem is with the control unit, and refer to explanation below.
