Closing the door activates all door interlock switches
(Monitored latch switch, and stop switch.)

When the microwave oven is preset for variable cooking
power, the 240 volts is supplied to the high voltage
transformer intermittently within a 32-second time base
through the relay contact which is coupled with the
current-limiting relay RY3. The following levels of micro-

The door can be opened by pulling the door.

1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-

NO) must be closed.

2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-

NO) of each switch must be opened.

1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-

NC) must be opened.

2. When the oven door is opened, the contacts (COM-

NC) must be closed.

3. If the oven door is opened and the contacts (COM-

NO) of the monitored latch switch (SW1) fail to open,
the fuse F1 blows immediately after closing the con-
tacts (COM-NC) of the monitor switch (SW2).

1. If the wire harness or electrical components are short-

circuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock
or fire hazard.

2. The fuse also blows when monitored latch switch

remains closed with the oven door open and when the
monitor switch contact (COM-NC) closes.

3. The fuse also blows when the H.V. rectifier, H.V. wire

harness, H.V. capacitor, magnetron or secondary
winding of high voltage transformer is shorted.

The thermal cut-out protects the oven against the over
heat during grill cooking or combi grill cooking. If the
temperature rises above 150˚C because the fan motor is
interrupted, the air inlet duct is blocked or the ventilation
openings are obstructed, the thermal cut-out opens and
switches off the all electrical parts. The defective thermal
cut-out  re-makes the contact by cooling down.

This thermal cut-out protects the high voltage trans-
former against overheating. If the temperature goes up
higher than 150˚C because the fan motor is interrupted or
the ventilation openings are blocked, the thermal cut-out
will open and line voltage to the high voltage transformer
will cut off and operation of the magnetron will be stopped.
The defective thermal cut-out re-makes the contact by
cooling down.

Note:

The On/Off time ratio does not exactly corre-
spond to the percentage of microwave power,
because  approx. 2 seconds  are needed for
heating up the magnetron filament.

CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE  F1

TEST MONITORED LATCH SWITCH (SW1)
AND  MONITOR SWITCH (SW2) FOR
PROPER OPERATION.  (REFER TO CHAP-
