CAUTIONS Unlike other appliances, the microwave oven is high-voltage and high-current equipment. Though it is free from danger in ordinary use, extreme care should be taken during repair. MICROWAVE RADIATION Personnel should not be exposed to the microwave energy which may radiate from the magnetron or other microwave generating device if it is improperly used or connection. All input and output microwave connections, waveguide, flange, and gasket must be secure.
INSTALLATION BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY. PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION A. Plug the power supply cord into a 120V AC, 60Hz, single-phase power source with a capacity of 15A or 20A. B. Avoid placing the unit in a location where there is direct heat or splashing water. C. Install the unit on the mounting plate firmly. D. Place the unit as far away as possible from TV, radio, etc. to prevent interference.

GENERAL INFORMATION FOR SERVICE FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FEATURES GENERAL PRECAUTIONS IN USE A. Never operate the unit when it is empty. Operating the oven with no load may shorten the life of the magnetron. Whenever cooking dry foods (dried fish, bread, etc.) or a small amount of food, be sure to put a glass of water into the cooking compartment. The glass turntable may become hot after operating, be careful when touching it. B.
SERVICE INFORMATION PRECAUTIONS AND REPAIR SERVICE TIPS PRELIMINARY (3) Do not operate the unit until it is completely repaired, if any of the following conditions exist. The unit must not be operated. (a) The door does not close firmly. (b) The hinge is broken. (c) The door seal is damaged. (d) The door is bent or warped, or there is any other visible damage on the unit that may cause microwave energy leakage. NOTE: Always keep the seal clean.
MICROWAVE LEAKAGE TEST MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE CAUTIONS • Be sure to check microwave leakage prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing. • The service personnel should inform the manufacture importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5 mW/cm2 and should repair any unit found to have excessive emission levels, at no cost to the owner, and should ascertain the cause of the excessive leakage.
MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE REMOVED NOTE WHEN MEASURING (1) Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. (2) The test probe must be moved no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5cm/sec) along the shaded area, otherwise a false reading may result. (3) The test probe must be held by the grip portion of the handle. A false reading may result if the operator’s hand is between the handle and the probe. (4) When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to the surface being tested.
DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (4) Remove 3 screws securing the circuit board. IMPORTANT NOTES: UNIT MUST BE DISCONNECTED FROM ELECTRICAL OUTLET WHEN MAKING REPAIRS, REPLACEMENTS, ADJUSTMENTS AND CONTINUITY CHECKS. WAIT AT LEAST ONE MINUTE, UNTIL THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR IN THE HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY HAS FULLY DISCHARGED. THE CAPACITOR SHOULD BE DISCHARGED BY USING INSULATED WIRE - I.E. TEST PROBE CONNECTED TO 10K-OHM RESISTOR IN SERIES TO GROUND.
HOW TO REMOVE THE F.P.C. CONNECTOR HOW TO INSERT THE F.P.C. CONNECTOR Follow the steps below as illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 to remove the F.P.C. connector. Follow the steps below as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 to insert the F.P.C. connector. (1) Insert the F.P.C. connector into the terminal socket securely with the fingers. (2) Hold the plastic fastener with thumb and forefinger of the other hand, and push it slowly into the terminal socket. (Figure 6) NOTE: When reconnecting the F.P.
B. REMOVING THE OUT CASE(Figure 8) (6) Remove the power cord cover from outcase by removing a screw. (7) Remove the power cord to the inner of the out c ase with turning power cord and remove the out case with pushing it back. (1) Remove the vent grille by removing two screws securing it to the out case. (2) Remove two screws securing it to the front bracket. (3) Remove two screws securing it to the air duct. (4) Remove the mounting plate by turning the two screws securing it to the out case.
C REMOVING THE DOOR INTERLOCK SWITCHES (Figures 9,10) (1) Disconnect the wire leads from the interlock switches. (2) Remove two screws securing the Latch Board. (3) Make necessary replacements and check microwave energy leakage according to “ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE” on page 7-12. Latch Board Secondary Interlock Switch Latch Board Secondary Interlock Switch WH(from H.V.
NOTES: • When removing the magnetron, make sure that its dome does not hit any adjacent parts, or it may be damaged. D. REMOVING MAGNETRON (Figures 11 Through 13) (1) Remove vertgrille. (2) Remove mount all. (3) Remove outcase. (4) Discinnect the wireleads. (5) Remove the 3 screws and Magnetron very carefully. • When replacing the magnetron, be sure to install the magnetron gasket in the correct position and be sure that the gasket is in good condition.
E. REMOVING DOOR (Figure 14) (1) Remove the vent grille by two screws securing it to the outcase loosening. (2) Lift up and draw the door. NOTES: • After replacing the door, be sure to check that the primary interlock switch, the secondary interlock switch and the interlock monitor switch is in good operating normally. • After replacing the door, check for microwave energy leakage with a survey meter. Microwave energy leakage must be below the limit of 5mW/cm2. (With a 275 ml water load) Figure 14 F.
G. ASSEMBLING DOOR (3) Carefully pull the ventilation motor ASS'Y out of the microwave oven. (See Figure18) (1) When mounting the door assembly to the oven assembly, be sure to adjust the door assembly parallel to the chassis. Also adjust so the door has no play between the inner door surface and oven frame assembly. If the door assembly is not mounted properly, microwaves may leak from the clearance between the door and the oven. Space Figure 18 H.
I. REMOVING THE TURNTABLE MOTOR (1) Remove the turntable. (2) Remove the turntable shaft VERY CAREFULLY with a slotted screwdriver. (Figure 19) (3) Remove the base plate by removing 6 screws securing it to the oven cavity. (Figure 20) (4) Disconnect the leadwire from the turntable motor terminals. (5) Remove the 2 screws securing the turntable motor to the oven cavity ASS'Y. (Figure 21) NOTES: • Remove the leadwire from the turntable motor VERY CAREFULLY.
INTERLOCK SYSTEM INTERLOCK MECHANISM The door lock mechanism is a device which has been specially designed to eliminate completely microwave activity when the door is opened during cooking and thus to prevent the danger resulting from the microwave leakage. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy leakage, adjust the door latches and interlock switches, using the following procedure. CHECK THE DOOR LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSING. NOTE: The outer cover of the microwave oven is removed.
TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE (5) Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch, the Secondary Switch. Release Rod and Lever on the switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence: (7) When you achieve the proper sequence of switches in Steps 5 and 6, tighten the latch board screws at that point.
INTERLOCK CONTINUITY TEST A. PRIMARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST B. SECONDARY INTERLOCK SWITCH TEST Disconnect the wire lead from the secondary switch. Connect the ohmmeter leads to the common (COM) and normally open (NO) terminals of the switch. The meter should indicate an open circuit in the door open condition. When the door is closed, the meter should indicate a closed circuit.
TEST AND CHECKOUT PROCEDURES, AND TROUBLE SHOOTING - CAUTIONS - DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET WHENEVER REMOVINGING THE CABINET FROM THE UNIT. PROCEED WITH THE TESTS ONLY AFTER DISCHARGING THE HIGH VOLTAGE CAPACITOR AND REMOVING THE WIRE LEADS FROM THE PRIMARY WINDING OF THE HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER. (SEE FIGURE 24) Filament Winding Secondary Winding - ALL OPERATIONAL CHECKS WITH MICROWAVE ENERGY MUST BE DONE WITH A LOAD (1 LITER OF WATER IN CONTAINER) IN THE OVEN.
