R-734 - 9

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

1. The display flashes "88:88".
2. To set the any programmes or set the clock, you must

first press the STOP button.

3. "  :  " appears in the display.

NOTE: When the oven door is opened, the oven lamp

comes on at this time.

100P COOKING
Enter a desired cooking time with the ROTARY knob.
Then choose the microwave mode by pressing COOKING
MODE button once. And choose the 100P microwave
power with the ROTARY knob. And then start the oven by
pressing the START button.

CONNECTED COMPONENTS

RELAY

Oven lamp, Fan motor, Turntable motor

RY1

Grill heating element

RY2

High voltage transformer

RY3

1. The line voltage is supplied to the primary winding of

the high voltage 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 wavelength of 12.24 cm. This
energy is channelled 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 signal tone is heard and

the relays RY1 + RY3 go back to their home position.
The circuits to the oven lamp, high voltage transformer,
fan motor and turntable motor are cut off.

5. When the door is opened during a cooking cycle, the

switches come to the following condition.

The circuit to the high voltage transformer, fan motor
and turntable motor are cut off when the monitored
latch switch and stop switch are made open. The oven
lamp remains on even if the oven door is opened after

the cooking cycle has been interrupted, because the
relay  RY1  stays closed. Shown in the display is
remaining time.

6. MONITOR SWITCH CIRCUIT

The monitor switch SW2 is mechanically controlled
by the 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 their
contacts first. After  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. After
that the contacts of the monitored latch switch SW1
and the stop switch SW3 are closed.

6-3. When the oven door is opened and the contacts of  the

monitored latch switch SW1 remain closed, the fuse
F2 F8A will blow, because the monitor switch SW2 is
closed  and a short circuit is caused.

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

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.

In this condition the food is cooked by the grill heater
energy. Programme the desired cooking time with the
ROTARY knob, and choose the grill mode by pressing
COOKING MODE button twice. When the  START button
is pressed, the following operations occur:

1. The relay RY1 and RY2 are energized.

2. The numbers on the digital readout start the count

down to zero.

3. Then oven lamp, cooling fan motor, turntable motor

and grill heating element are energized.

4. Now, the food is grilled by the grill heating element.
5. Upon completion of the selected cooking time, audible

signal sounds, and contacts of relays are opened, then
the activated components as items 3 are de-energized.
