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.

  • DO NOT operate on a 2-wire extension cord during repair and use.
  • NEVER TOUCH any oven components or wiring during operation.
  • BEFORE TOUCHING any parts of the oven, always remove the power plug from the outlet.
  • For about 30 seconds after the oven stops, an electric charge remains in the high voltage capacitor. When replacing or checking, you must discharge the high voltage capacitor by shorting across the two terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
  • Remove your watch whenever working close to or replacing the Magnetron.
  • DO NOT touch any parts of the control panel circuit. A resulting static electric discharge may damage this P. C.B.
  • NEVER operate the oven with no load.
  • NEVER injure the door seal and front plate of the oven cavity.
  • NEVER put iron tools on the magnetron.
  • NEVER put anything into the latch hole and the interlock switches area.

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. Never operate the device without a microwave energy absorbing load attached.
Never look into an open waveguide or antenna while the device is energized.

  • Proper operation of the microwave oven requires that the magnetron be assembled to the waveguide and cavity. Never operate the magnetron unless it is properly installed.
  • Be sure that the magnetron gasket is properly installed around the dome of the tube whenever installing the magnetron.
    THE OVEN IS TO BE SERVICED ONLY BY PROPERLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

INSTALLATION

BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY AND CAREFULLY.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DETAILS

  • The low voltage transformer supplies the necessary voltage to the micom controller when power cord is plugged in.
  • When the door is closed, the primary switch is ON, the secondary switch is ON, and the monitor switch opens (contact COM and NO).

WHEN SELECTING COOKING POWER LEVEL AND TIME

  • The micom controller memorizes the function you set.
  • The time you set appears in the display window.
  • Each indicator light turns on to indicate that the stage has been set.

WHEN TOUCHING THE START PAD

  • The coil of the relay is energized by the micom controller.
  • Power input is supplied to the high voltage transformer through the fuse to the primary switch and relay 2.
  • Turntable rotates.
  • The fan motor rotates and cools the magnetron by blowing the air (coming from the intake on the base­plate).
  • The air is also directed into the oven to exhaust the vapoI in the oven through the upper plate.
  • Cooking time starts counting down.
  • 3.3 volts AC is generated from the filament winding of the high voltage transformer. This 3.3 volts is applied to the magnetron to heat the magnetron filament th1ough two noise-preventing choke coils.
  • A high voltage of approximately 2100 volts AC is generated in the secondary of the high voltage transformer which is increased by the action of the high voltage diode and charging of the high voltage capacitor.
  • The negative 4,000 Volts DC is applied to the filament of the magnetron.

WHEN THE OVEN IS SET AT ANY LEVEL EXCEPT MAXIMUM.

  • The micom controller controls the ON-OFF time of relay 2 by the applied signal to vary the average output power of microwave oven as POWER LEVEL. (refer to page 1-1)
  • One complete cycle of relay 2 is 22 seconds.

WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED DURING COOKING

  • Both the primary switch and relay 2 cut off the primary winding voltage of the high voltage transformer.
  • ON-OFF of relay 2 is coupled electrically with opening and closing of the secondary switch.
  • When the door is opened, the secondary switch is opened and when the door is closed, the secondary switch is closed.
  • The cooking time stops counting down.
  • Relay stops functioning.
  • As the door is opened, if the contact of primary switch and relay2 and/or secondary switch fail to open, the fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by the monitor switch activation, which in turn stops magnetron oscillation.

    • Rockville. MD 20850

  • The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for- microwave leakage.

  • Check for microwave leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 4 mW/cm2 Always start measuring of an unknown field • to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.

MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

  • Pour 275±15cc of 20±5 ‘C (68±9 “f) water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker on the center of the turntable.
  • Set the energy leakage monitor to 2,450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer’s recommended test procedure to assure correct result.
  • When measuring the leakage, always use the 2-inch (5cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
  • Operate the oven at its maximum output.
  • Measure the microwave radiation using an electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured.LG-CDMW12MW-Built-in-Microwave-Oven-fig-12

MEASUREMENT WITH OUTER CASE REMOVED

  • When you replace the magnetron, measure for microwave energy leakage before the outer case is installed and after all necessary components are replaced or adjusted. Special care should be taken in measuring the following parts. (Circled area of Fig. below)
    • Around the magnetron
    • The waveguide
      WARNING : AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS

MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY ASSEMBLED OVEN

  • After all components, including the outer case, are fully assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening, and air inlet openings.
  • Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values prescribed below.
    NOTE: Leakage with the outer case removed less than 5 mW/cm.sq. Leakage for a fully assembled oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is inte1Tupted) with the door in a slightly opened position-less than 2 mW/cm.sq.

NOTES WHEN MEASURING

  • Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
  • The test probe must be moved no faster than 1 inch/sec (2.5 cm/sec) along the shaded area, otherwise a false reading may result.
  • 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.
  • When testing near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to the surface making sure the probe horizontally along the oven surface. Hold vertically when testing the top and bottom, and horizontally along.

RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION AFTER MEASUREMENT

  • After adjustment and repair of any microwave energy interruption or microwave energy blocking device, record the measured values for future reference. Also enter the information on the service invoice.
  • The microwave energy leakage should not be more than 4 mW/cm.sq. after determining that all parts are in good condition, functioning properly and genuine replacement parts which are listed in this manual have been used.
  • At least once a year, have the electromagnetic energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by its manufacturer.

SPECIAL TIP

  • This oven used the button head screws.
  • When you remove the screws, use the tamper-resistant Torx driver having a pin-in-head.

MEASUREMENT OF MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT

  • Microwave power output measurement is made with the microwave oven supplied at its rated voltage and operated at its maximum microwave power setting with a load of (1000±5) g of potable water.

  • The water is contained in a cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel having a maximum material thickness of 3 mm and an outside diameter of approximately 190mm.

  • The oven and the empty vessel are at ambient temperature prior to the start of the test.

  • The initial temperature (T1) of the water is (10±2) ° C It is measured immediately before the water is added to the vessel. After addition of the water to the vessel, the load is immediately placed on the center of the turntable which is in the lowest position and the microwave power switched on.

  • The time T for the temperature of the water to rise by a value? T of (10±2) 0 is measured, where Tis the time in seconds and ?T is the temperature rise. The initial and final water temperatures are selected so that the maximum difference between the final water temperature and the ambient temperature is 5 ° .

  • The microwave power output P in watts is calculated from the following formula
    is measured while the microwave generator is operating at full power. Magnetron filament heat-up time is not included. (about 3 sec)

  • The water is stirred to equalize temperature throughout the vessel, prior to measuring the final water temperature.

  • Stirring devices and measuring instruments are selected in order to minimize addition or removal of heat.
