  • Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door seal, and microwave generation and transmission systems shall be repaired adjusted by procedures described in this manual before the oven is released to the owner.
  • A Microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal performance standard should be performed on each oven prior to release to the owner.
    • Proper operation of the microwave ovens requires that the magnetron be assembled to the wave guide 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.
    • Routine service safety procedures should be exercised at all times.
    • Untrained personnel should not attempt service without a thorough review of the test procedures and safety information contained in this manual.

FOREWORD
Read this Manual carefully. Failure to adhere to or observe the information in this Manual may result in exposing yourself to the Microwave Energy normally contained within the oven cavity.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy leakage, adjust the door latches and interlock switches, using the following procedure.
ONL V AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.
The Interlock Monitor and Primary Interlock Switch acts as the final safety switch protecting the user from microwave energy. The terminals between “COM” and “NC” of the Interlock Monitor must close when the door is opened. After adjusting the Interlock Monitor Switch, make sure that it is correctly connected. See Figures 1-a and 1-b throughout this procedure.
CHECK THE DOOR LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSINGS.
NOTE : The outer cover of the microwave oven is removed.

  1. Set the microwave oven on its side so that you can see the latch board and the switches, as shown in Figure 1-a.

  2. Close the door tightly and check gaps A and B to be sure they are no more than 1/64″ (0.5 mm). See Figure 1- b for close-up view of gaps A and B (door latches). If all gaps are less than 1/64″ (0.5 mm), adjustment of the latch board may not be necessary. Go to Steps 5 and 6 to check the sequence of the switches.
    NOTE : To correct sequence of the Primary Interlock Switch, Secondary Interlock Switch and the Interlock Monitor Switch is very important.
    If any gap is larger than 1/64″ (0.5 mm), you will need to adjust the latch board-U, L. Go to step 3 and follow all steps in order.
    ADJUST THE LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSINGS

  3. Loosen the two screws holding the plastic latch board as shown.

  4. With the oven door closed tightly, move the latch board upward toward the top of the oven and/or away from the door latch until the gaps are less than 1/64″ (0.5 mm).
    Hold the latch board tightly in this position until you check the sequence of the switches in steps 5 and 6.
    TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE

  5. Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch, the Primary Switch. Release Rod and Lever on the switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:
    Primary Interlock Switch
    Secondary Interlock Switch
    Interlock Monitor Switch
    Adjust the latch board until the switches operate in this sequence. See Steps 3 and 4.

  6. Close the oven door slowly and be sure it is tightly closed. Watch the three switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:
    Interlock Monitor Switch
    Primary Interlock Switch
    Secondary Interlock Switch
    NOTE : The Interlock Monitor Switch is an added safety check on the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches. If the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches allow the oven to operate with the door open, the Monitor Switch will blow the fuse. .

  7. When you achieve the proper sequence of switches in Steps 5 and 6, tighten the latch board screws at that point.
    TEST THE MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

  8. Using a survey meter, make sure the microwave energy is below 5 mW/cm.sq.

PRECAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE FOR MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

CAUTIONS

  1. Be sure to check a microwave emission prior to servicing the oven if the oven is operative prior to servicing.
  2. The service personnel should inform the manufacturer, importer, or assembler of any certified oven unit found to have a microwave emission level in excess of 5mW/cm.sq. 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. The service personnel should instruct the owner not to use the unit until the oven has been brought into compliance.
  3. If the oven operates with the door open, the service personnel should;
  4. Tell the user not to operate the oven. Contact the manufacturer and CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) immediately. NOTE : Address on CDRH Office of Compliance (HFZ-312) Center for Devices and Radiological Health 1390 Piccard Drive Rockville, Maryland 20850
  5. The service personnel should check all surface and vent openings for microwave emission testing.
  6. Check for microwave energy leakage after every servicing. The power density of the microwave radiation leakage emitted by the microwave oven should not exceed 1 mW/cm.sq. And always start measuring of an unknown field to assure safety for operating personnel from radiation leakage.
    NOTE : The standard is 5mW/cm.sq. while in the customer’s home. 1 mW/cm.sq. stated here is manufacturer’s own voluntary standard for units in customer’s home.

EQUIPMENT

  • Electromagnetic energy leakage monitor (NARDA 8100B, HOLADAY HI 1501)
  • 600cc glass beaker
  • Glass thermometer 100°C

MEASURING MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE

  1. Pour 275 ± 15cc of 20 ± 5 °C water in a beaker which is graduated to 600 cc, and place the beaker in the center of the oven.
  2. Set the energy leakage monitor to 2450 MHz and use it following the manufacturer’s recommended test procedure to assure correct result.
  3. When measuring the leakage, always use the 2 inch (5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.
  4. Operate the oven at its maximum output.
  5. Measure the microwave radiation using and electromagnetic radiation monitor by holding the probe perpendicular to the surface being measured. (See Figure 7)

MEASUREMENT WITH THE OUTER CASE REMOVED

  1. 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.
    • Around the magnetron
    • The waveguide

WARNING : AVOID CONTACTING ANY HIGH VOLTAGE PARTS.

MEASUREMENT WITH A FULLY ASSEMBLED OVEN

  1. After all components, including the outer panels, are fully assembled, measure for microwave energy leakage around the door viewing window, the exhaust opening and air inlet openings.
  2. Microwave energy leakage must not exceed the values prescribed below.
    NOTES : Leakage with the outer panels removed – less than 5mW/cm.sq. Leakage for a fully assembled oven (Before the latch switch (primary) is interrupted) with the door in a slightly opened position – less than 1 mW/cm . sq.

NOTE WHEN MEASURING

  1. Do not exceed meter full scale deflection.
  2. The test probe must be removed 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 with 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 making sure the probe horizontally along the oven surface, this may possibly cause probe damage.

RECORD KEEPING AND NOTIFICATION AFTER MEASUREMENT

  1. 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.
  2. Should the microwave energy leakage not be more than 1 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.
  3. At least once a year, have the electromagnetic energy leakage monitor checked for calibration by its manufacturer.

POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT

  1. Fill the test beaker with 59 ° F(15 °C) – 75 ° F(24 °C) 1 liter tap water.

  2. Stir the water in the beaker with thermometer (° F or °C) and measure temperature as T1.

  3. Place the beaker on the center of turntable.

  4. Set for one (1) minute and three (3) seconds and operate the oven at high power.
    NOTE: The additional three (3) seconds is to allow the magnetron to begin generating power.

  5. When the heating is finished, stir the water again with thermometer and measure the temperature of water as T2.

  6. Subtract T1 from T2, this will give you the temperature rise .

  7. The microwave power output is within specification, if the temperature rise is as shown below:
    Line Voltage| Temperature Rise|
    ---|---|---
    | Degrees °F| Degrees °C
    120 V| 11.7 ~ 17.1| 6.5 ~ 9.5
    108 V| Min. 10.6| Min. 5.9

  8. Power output will be influenced by line voltage of power supply. Consequently, correct power output must be measured within 120V AC ± 1 Volt while unit is operating.

Display shows all figures set, but oven does not start cooking while desired program times are set and ST ART pad is touched

Oven seems to be operation but little heat is produced in oven load

NOTE : Simple test of power output-conducted by heating one liter water for one min. if available. Minimum 8.5°C temperature rise is normal condition.

No microwave oscillation even though oven lamp and fan motor run. (Display operates properly)

NOTE

  • Make sure the wire leads correct position.
  • When Removing the wire leads from the parts, be sure to grasp the connector, not the wires.
