OPERATION SEQUENCE
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(monitored latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay control
switch).
IMPORTANT
When the timer knob is at "0" the oven in the OFF
condition.
When the oven door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
(COM-NC) must be open.
When the microwave oven is plugged in a wall outlet
(230V 50Hz), the noise filter and the control panel are
energized.

MICROWAVE COOKING CONDITION
HIGH COOKING
When the door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO) of the
monitored latch switch SW1 and the monitor switch SW2
are closed. When the microwave power is set to 800W
position by pressing the microwave power level button and
cooking time is selected by turning the timer knob, the
following components are energized: H.V. transformer,
Magnetron, Oven lamp, Turntable motor and Fan motor.

1. The line voltage is supplied to the primary winding of
the high voltage transformer. The voltage is converted
to about 3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding
and high voltage of approximately 2000 volts A.C. on
the secondary winding.
2. The filament winding voltage (3.3 volts) heats the
magnetron filament and the high voltage (2000 volts) is
sent to the voltage doubling circuit, where it is doubled
to negative voltage of approximately 4000 volts D.C..
3. The 2450 MHz microwave energy produced in the
magnetron generates a wave length of 12.24 cm. This
energy is channelled through the waveguide (transport
channel) into the oven cavity, where the food is placed
to be cooked.
4. When the cooking time is up, a signal tone is heard and
the relays RY1+RY2 open. The circuits to the oven
lamp, high voltage transformer, fan motor and turnta-
ble motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
switches come to the following condition.

control switch (SW3) are made open.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch SW2 is mechanically controlled by
oven door, and monitors the operation of the monitored
latch switch SW1.
6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the monitored latch
switch SW1 and 2nd. interlock relay control switch
SW3 must open their contacts first. After that the
contacts (COM-NC) of the monitor switch SW2 can
be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch SW2 must be opened first.
After that the contacts (COM-NO) of the monitored
latch SW1 and 2nd. interlock relay control switch
SW3 are closed.
6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts
(COM-NO) of the monitored latch switch SW1 remain
closed, the fuse F1 will blow, because the contacts
(COM-NC) of the monitor switch are closed and a
short circuit is caused.
560W, 400W, 240W, 80W COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, the line voltage is supplied to the high voltage
transformer intermittently within a 32-seconds time base
through the relay contact which is coupled with the cur-
rent-limiting relay RY2. The following levels of microwave
power are given.
SETTING;
NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not exactly corre-
spond to the percentage of microwave power,
because approx. 3 seconds are needed for heat-
ing up the magnetron filament.
POWER OUTPUT REDUCTION
After 100% power cooking mode is carried out for more
than 20 minutes, the power output is automatically reduced
to 70%. Even if the cooking time is shorter than for 20
minutes, the power output is reduced to 70% after total
cooking time over 20 minutes when the oven is started in
100% power cooking mode again within 1 minute and 35
seconds.
