OPERATION
[1] DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE
The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.
1. OFF CONDITION
Closing the door activates the door sensing switch and secondary
interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are
opened.)
When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the control unit.
(Figure O-1).
1) The display will show “SHARP SIMPLY THE BEST PRESS CLEAR
AND PRESS CLOCK”.
To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/
CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.
2. COOKING CONDITION
Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER pads. Pro-
gram the power level (100%) by touching the POWER LEVEL pad
once. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:
1) The contacts of relays are closed and components connected to
the relays are turned on as follows.
(For details, refer to Figure O-2)
2) 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the power trans-
former and is converted to about 3.64 volts A.C. output on the fila-
ment winding, and approximately 2400 volts A.C. on the high
voltage winding.
3) The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament and the
H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler circuit.
4) The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is channelled
through the waveguide into the cavity feed-box, and then into the
cavity where the food is placed to be cooked.
5) Upon completion of the cooking time, the power transformer, oven
lamp, etc. are turned off, and the generation of microwave energy
is stopped. The oven will revert to the OFF condition.
6) When the door is opened during a cook cycle, the monitor witch,
door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and
primary interlock relay are activated with the following results. The
circuits to the turntable motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high
voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on,
and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the cook
cycle when the door was opened.
7) The monitor switch electrically monitors the operation of the sec-
ondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay and is mechani-
cally associated with the door so that it will function in the following
sequence.
a) When the door opens from the closed position, the primary
interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch open their
contacts. And contacts of the relay (RY1) remains closed. Then
the monitor switch contacts close.
b) When the door is closed from the open position, the monitor
switch contacts open first. Then the contacts of the secondary
interlock switch and door sensing switch close. And contacts of
the relay (RY1) open.
If the secondary interlock switch and primary interlock relay (RY2) fail
with the contacts closed when the door is opened, the closing of the
monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the monitor
fuse, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and primary interlock
relay (RY2), causing the monitor fuse to blow.
3. POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING
When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120 volts A.C. is
supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of
relay (RY-2) which is operated by the control unit within a 32 second
time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:
NOTE:
The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the per-
centage of microwave power, because approx. 3 seconds
are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.
4. SENSOR COOKING CONDITION
Using the SENSOR function, the food is cooked without figuring time,
power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the
food, it relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate
the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results.
When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. The sensor
“senses” the vapor and its resistance increases gradually. When the
resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplemen-
tary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is deter-
mined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the
LSI.
An example of how sensor works: (POTATOES)
1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very slowly.
2. Heat potatoes. Moisture and humidity is emitted rapidly. You can
smell the aroma as it cooks.;
