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

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
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.
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).
FUSE
Both the primary switch and relay 2 are cut off 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 relay 2 and/or secondary switch fails to open, the
fuse opens due to the large current surge caused by
the monitor switch activation, which in turn stops
magnetron oscillation.

NOTE:
1. After replacing the door, be sure to check that the
primary switch, monitor switch, and secondary switch
operate normally.
2. After replacing the door, check for microwave energy
leakage with a survey meter. Microwave energy must
be below the limit of 5 mW/cm. (with a 275 ml water
load)
3. 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.

I. MAGNETRON REMOVAL
1) Disconnect the leadwire from the high voltage
transformer and high voltage capacitor.
2) Carefully remove the mounting screws holding the
magnetron and the waveguide.
3) Remove the magnetron ASSY until the tube is
clear from the waveguide.
NOTE:
1. When removing the magnetron, make sure its
dome does not hit any adjacent parts, or it may be
damaged.
2. 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.
3. After replacing the magnetron, check for microwave
leakage with a survey meter around the
magnetron. Microwave energy must be below the
limit of 5 mW/cm2. (With a 275 ml. water load).
Make sure that gasket is rigidly attached to the
magnetron. To prevent microwave leakage,
tighten the mounting screws properly, making sure
there is no gap between the waveguide and the
magnetron.
NOTE:
1. Remove the wire lead from the turntable motor
VERY CAREFULLY.
2. Be sure to grasp the connector, not the wires, when
removing.

L. INTERLOCK SYSTEM
1) 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.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
WHEN YOU GET A COMPLAINT FROM YOUR CUSTOMER, EVALUATE THE COMPLAINT CAREFULLY. IF
THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS APPLY, PLEASE INSTRUCT THE CUSTOMER IN THE PROPER USE OF THE
MICROWAVE OVEN. THIS CAN ELIMINATE AN UNNECESSARY SERVICE CALL.
CAUTIONS
1. Check grounding before checking for trouble.
2. Be careful of the high voltage circuit.
3. Discharge the high voltage capacitor. (See page 2-1)
4. When checking the continuity of the switches or of the high voltage transformer, disconnect one lead wire
from these parts and then check continuity with the AC plug removed. To do otherwise may result in a
false reading or damage to your meter.
5. Do not touch any part of the circuit on the PCB since static electric discharge may damage this control
panel.
Always touch yourself ground while working on this panel to discharge any static charge built up in your
body. (Micom model only)
