FUNCTION OF IMPORTANT COMPONENTS
OVEN THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out, located on the top of the oven cavity,
is designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire. If the
foods load is overcooked, by either error in cook time or
defect in the control unit, the thermal cut-out will open.
Under normal operation, the oven thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the oven cavity, the oven thermal cut-out
will open at 125˚C, causing the oven to shut down. The
defective thermal cut-out must be replaced with new one.

MAGNETRON THERMAL CUT-OUT
The thermal cut-out located near the magnetron is de-
signed to prevent damage to the magnetron if an over
heated condition develops in the tube due to cooling fan
failure, obstructed air guide, dirty or blocked air intake, etc.
Under normal operation, the thermal cut-out remains
closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures are
reached within the magnetron, the thermal cut-out will
open at 95˚C causing the oven to shut down, when the
magnetron has cooled to 75˚C, the thermal cut-out closes
and cook cycle will resume.

TURNTABLE MOTOR
The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to
rotate the turntable.
rotate the turntable.
FAN MOTOR
The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vents surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is
channeled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapors given off from the heating foods. It is then ex-
hausted through the exhausting air vents at the oven
cavity.
