INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS MC Series Ovens Power Supply Requirements The MC–Series oven should be connected to a suitable electricity supply, which can cope with the switching-on surge that occurs with certain types of catering equipment, such as microwaves. Because of this requirement, we strongly recommend that a separate, suitably rated supply is installed for the oven.
Error Codes and Diagnostics The MC–Series oven will identify some of the most common problems by flashing an error message code in the time display window. These are the error messages, and suggestions for repairing them. Door not fully shut. Close door fully.
Procedure A - Power Output Test in accordance with BS EN 60335-2-25:1996 Annex AA This test is given in the BSI test standard for microwave ovens. It is reproduced below - not so that you can follow it, but to show you why it is impractical in normal conditions. A simplified procedure, which gives a good approximation to the BSI power output, is given in Procedure B which follows.
Procedure B - Simplified Power Test You will need: A thermometer capable of reading to ±0.1°C. A Polypropylene tray approximately 200 mm x 200 mm. A measuring jug. A calculator. Water which is at a temperature of 10°C ± 2°C. 1 Measure 1 litre of cold water into the tray using the measuring jug.
Procedure D - High Voltage Capacitor Test You will need: A Digital Multi-meter (D.M.M.) A Megger or similar resistance meter using 500V d.c. 1 Isolate the oven from the mains supply. WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the High Voltage Capacitor. It is very dangerous to work near this part when the oven is on.
DOOR INTERLOCK OPERATION Door Interlock Operation The door on the oven is monitored by four microswitches. Three of these are used in the conventional “Primary, Secondary and Monitor” switch arrangement shown below, while the fourth is a low-voltage switch linked directly to the control circuitry. MC–...
Door Replacement and Door Adjustment DOOR REPLACEMENT Remove four screws holding the Upper and Lower Hinge Plate [14] to the oven cavity. Remove Door Assembly [80] by pulling it forward. On re-installing new door assembly, secure the upper and lower oven hinges with the four mounting screws to the oven cavity.
Door Servicing CHOKE COVER REMOVAL 1. Insert a flat type screw driver into the gap between the Choke Cover [16] and Door Body [7] as shown below to free the engaging clips. A protective piece of tape should be used so as not to damage the door panel.
Membrane Panel Circuit You will need: A Digital Multi-meter (D.M.M.) Procedure: 1. Isolate the oven from the mains supply. 2. Remove the Logic Assembly from the Control Panel Housing. 3. Unplug the membrane “tail” from the Logic PCB Assembly. 4. Using a D.M.M., check for continuity between the correct terminals when the pads are pressed.
