R-24ST/R-2B34 - 9
NOTE: The ON/OFF time ratio does not exactly correspond
to the percentage of microwave power, because
approx. 3 seconds are needed for heating up the
magnetron filament.

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 stop switch (SW3) must open its 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. The contacts (COM - NO) of the monitored
latch switch (SW1) and stop switch (SW3) are closed
after.
6-3
When the oven door is opened and the contacts of the
monitored latch switch (SW1) remain closed, the fuse
F1 will blow, because the monitor switch is closed and
a short circuit is caused.
HIGH, MEDIUM HIGH, MEDIUM, MEDIUM LOW,
LOW COOKING
When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, the line voltage is supplied to the power transformer
intermittently within a 32-second time base through the vari
contact. The following levels of microwave power are given.
SETTING
Closing the door activates the door interlock switch (moni-
tored latch switch).
IMPORTANT
When the oven door is closed, the monitor switch contacts
COM - NC must be open.
When the microwave oven is pluged in a wall outlet (220-
230V 50Hz), the noise filter is energised.
MICROWAVE OFF CONDITION
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 TIME pad
and start the oven with touching START pad.

1. The line 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 channeled 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 single 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.
