1. Precaution
Follow these special safety precautions. Although the microwave oven is completely safe during ordinary
use, repair work can be extremely hazardous due to possible exposure to microwave radiation, as well as
potentially lethal high voltages and currents.

1-2 Special Servicing Precautions (Continued)

17. When checking the continuity of the
switches or transformer, always make sure
that the power is OFF, and one of the lead
wires is disconnected.
18. Components that are critical for safety are
indicated in the circuit diagram by
shading, or .
19. Use replacement components that have the
same ratings, especially for flame resistance
and dielectric strength specifications. A
replacement part that does not have the
same safety characteristics as the original
might create shock, fire or other hazards.

1-3 Special High Voltage Precautions

1. High Voltage Warning

Do not attempt to measure any of the high
voltages--this includes the filament voltage
of the magnetron. High voltage is present
during any cook cycle.

Before touching any components or wiring,

always unplug the oven and discharge the
high voltage capacitor (See Figure 1-1)

2. The high-voltage capacitor remains charged

about 30 seconds after disconnection. Short
the negative terminal of the high-voltage
capacitor to the oven chassis. (Use a
screwdriver.)

3. High voltage is maintained within specified

limits by close-tolerance, safety-related
components and adjustments. If the high
voltage exceeds the specified limits, check
each of the special components.

5-8 Output Power of Magnetron

CAUTION
MICROWAVE RADIATION
PERSONNEL SHOULD NOT ALLOW EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVE RADIATION FROM MICROWAVE GENERATOR OR OTHER PARTS
CONDUCTING MICROWAVE ENERGY.

The output power of the magnetron can be measured by performing a water temperature rise test.
Equipment needed :
* Two 1-liter cylindrical borosilicate glass vessel (Outside diameter 190 mm)
* One glass thermometer with mercury column
NOTE: Check line voltage under load. Low voltage will lower the magnetron output. Make all temperature
and time tests with accurate equipment.
1. Fill the one liter glass vessel with water.
2. Stir water in glass vessel with thermometer, and record glass vessel's temperature ("T1", 10±0.2ûC).
3. After moving the water into another glass vessel, place it in the center of the cooking tray. Set the oven to high
power and operate for 43 seconds exactly. (1 seconds included as a holding time of magnetron oscillation:)
4. When heating is finished, stir the water again with the thermometer and measure the temperature ("T2").
5. Subtract T1 from T2. This will give you the water temperature rise. (∆T)
6. The output power is obtained by the following formula;
4.187 x 1000 x ∆T+0.88xMcx(T2-T0) 41.87: Heating Time (sec)
Output Power = 4.187 : Coefficient for Water
41.87
1000 : Water (cc)
∆T : Temperature Rise (T2-T1)
Mc : Cylindrical borosilicate glass weight
To : Room temperature.

7. Normal temperature rise for this model is 9.9ûC to 10.5ûC at 'HIGH'.

NOTE 1: Variations or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise.
Additional power test should be made if temperature rise is marginal.
NOTE 2: Output power in watts is computed by multiplying the temperature rise (step 5) by a factor of 91
times the of centigrade temperature.

5-9 Microwave Heat Distribution - Heat Evenness

The microwave heat distribution can be checked indirectly by measuring the water temperature rise at
certain positions in the oven:
1. Prepare five beakers made of 'Pyrex', having 100 milliliters capacity each.
2. Measure exactly 100milliliters off water load with a measuring cylinder, and pour into each beaker.
3. Measure the temperature of each water load. (Readings shall be taken to the first place of decimals.)
4. Put each beaker in place on the cooking tray as illustrated in figure below. Start heating.
5. After heating for 2 minutes, measure the water temperature in each beaker.
6. Microwave heat distribution rate can be calculated as follows:

D
Minimum Beaker
Temperature Rise D
Heat Distribution = X 100(%)
Maximum
Temperature Rise
The result should exceed 80%. D/4

seam is taken near a corner of the door, keep the probe perpendicular to the areas making sure that the
probe end at the base of the cone does not get closer than 2 inches to any metal. If it gets closer than 2
inches, erroneous readings may result.
5) Measured leakage must be less than 4mW/cm2, after repair or adjustment.

Maximum allowable leakage is 5mW/cm2.

4mW/cm2 is used to allow for measurement and meter accuracy
5-11 Check for Microwave Leakage
1. Remove the outer panel.
2. Pour 275±15cc of 20±5ûC(68±9ûF) water in a
beaker which is graduated to 600cc, and
place the beaker in the center of the oven.
3. Start the oven at the highest power level.
4. Set survey meter dual ranges to 2,450MHz.
5. Using the survey meter and spacer cone as
described above, measure arnear the
opening of magnetron, the surface of the air
guide and the surface of the wave guide as
shown in the following photo.( but avoid the
high voltage components.) The neading
should be less than 5mW/cm2.
5-12 Note on Measurement
1) Do not exceed the limited scale.
2) The test probe must be held on the grip of the handle, otherwise a false reading may result when the
operator's hand is between the handle and the probe.
3) When high leakage is suspected, do not move the probe horizontally along the oven surface; this may
cause damage to the probe.
4) Follow the recommendation of the manufacturer of the microwave energy survey meter.
