OPERATION SEQUENCE

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. and 2nd.
latch switches.

6-1 When the oven door is opened during or after the

cycle of a cooking program, the 1st. latch switch, 2nd.
latch switch and stop 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 first. After
that the contacts of the 1st. latch switch, 2nd. latch
switch and stop switch are closed.

6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of the

1st. latch switch and 2nd. latch switch remain closed.
The fuse M10A will blow, because the monitor switch
is closed and a short circuit is caused.

VARIABLE 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 relay (RY2). The
following levels of microwave power are given.

SETTING;

OFF CONDITION

Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(1st. latch switch, 2nd. latch switch and Stop 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.

2. To set any programs or set the clock, you must first

touch the STOP/CLEAR pad.

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
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) go back to their home position
(off condition)º. 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
