OPERATION SEQUENCE
OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(1st. latch switch, 2nd. interlock relay control switch).
IMPORTANT
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, rated
voltage is supplied to the noise filter and the control unit.

1. The display flashes "88:88".
2. To set any programmes or set the clock, you must first
touch the STOP/CLEAR pad.
3. " : " appears in the display.
NOTE: When the oven door is opened, the oven lamp
comes on at this time.
MICROWAVE COOKING CONDITION
HIGH COOKING
Enter a desired cooking time with the touching number
pads and start the oven with touching START key.

CONNECTED COMPONENTS
RELAY
Oven lamp, Fan motor, Turntable motor
RY1
Power transformer
RY2
1. Rated voltage is supplied to the primary winding of the
power 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 sec-
ondary 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 go back to their home position.
The circuits to the oven lamp, power transformer, fan
motor and turntable motor are cut off.
5. When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the
switches come to the following condition.

The circuits to the power transformer, fan motor and
turntable motor are cut off when the 1st. latch switch
and 2nd. interlock relay control switch are made open.
The oven lamp remains on even if the oven door is
opened after the cooking cycle has been interrupted,
because the relay RY1 stays closed. Shown in the
display is the remaining time.
6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT
The monitor switch is mechanically controlled by oven
door, and monitors the operation of the 1st. latch switch
and 2nd. interlock relay.
6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the
cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch and
2nd. interlock relay control switch must open their
contacts first. After that the contacts (COM-NC) of the
monitor switch can be closed.
6-2. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-
NC) of the monitor switch must be opened. After that
the contacts of the 1st. latch switch and 2nd. interlock
relay control switch are closed.
6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of
the 1st latch switch and 2nd. interlock relay remain
closed. The fuse T6.3A will blow, because the moni-
tor switch is closed and a short circuit is caused.
POWER LEVEL COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, rated voltage is supplied to the power transformer
intermittently within a 32-second time base through the
relay contact which is coupled with the current-limiting
relay. 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
If the oven set for more than 20 minutes at 100% power
level, after the first 20 minutes the power level will automati-
cally adjust itself to 70% power to avoid overcooking.
