1. When the oven door is closed, the contacts (COM-NO)

of the switch must be closed.

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

NO) of switch must be opened.

The monitor switch is activated (the contacts opened) by the
upper latch head on the door while the door is closed. The
switch is intended to render the oven inoperative by means of
blowing the fuse F8A when the contacts of the monitored
latch switch fail to open when the door is opened.
Function
1. When the door is opened, the contacts (COM-NC) of

monitor switch  close (to the ON condition) due to their
being normally closed and contacts (COM-NO) open.
At this time the contacts (COM-NO) of monitored latch
switch is in the OFF condition (contacts open) due to
their being normally open contact switches.

2. As the door goes to a closed position, the monitor switch

contacts (COM-NC) are opened and contacts (COM-
NO) closed and then contacts (COM-NO) of monitored
latch switch and stop switch are closed.(On opening the
door, each of these switches operate inversely.)

3. If the door is opened and the monitored latch switch

contacts  (COM-NO) fail to open, the fuse F8A blows
immediately after closing of the monitor switch (COM-
NC) contacts.

CAUTION: BEFORE REPLACING A BLOWN FUSE F8A,

TEST THE MONITORED LATCH SWITCH
AND  MONITOR SWITCH FOR PROPER
OPERATION.  (REFER TO CHAPTER “TEST
PROCEDURE”).

If the wire harness or electrical components are short-
circuited, this fuse blows to prevent an electric shock or
fire hazard.

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 the 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 asymmetric rectifier, H.V.

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

T/C transformer converts A.C. line voltage into low voltage
to drive the control unit.

This thermal cut-out protects the magnetron against over-
heat. If the temperature goes up higher than 125˚C be-
cause the fan motor is interrupted or the ventilation open-
ings 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 defec-
tive thermal cut-out must be replaced with a new one.

This thermal cut-out protects against overheat ing /fire inside
the oven. The cut-out contacts will open when temperatures
exceed 145˚C.When the cut-out cools itself down to the
operating temperature of 115˚C, the contacts of the thermal
cut-out will close again.

The asymmetric rectifier is solid state device that prevents
current flow is both directions. And it prevents the tem-
perature rise of the high voltage transformer by blowing
the fuseF8A when the high voltage rectifier is shorted.

The rated peak reverse voltage of D1 of the asymmetric
rectifier is 6 KV. The rated peak reverse voltage of D2 of
the asymmetric rectifier is 1.7 KV. D1 and D2 of the
asymmetric rectifier or high voltage rectifier are shorted
when the each peak reverse voltage goes beyond the
each rated peak reverse voltage. (The process of the
blowing the fuseF8A.)

1. The high voltage rectifier is shorted by some fault when

microwave cooking or dual cooking.

2. The peak reverse voltage of D2 of the rectifier goes

beyond the rated peak reverse voltage 1.7 KV in the
voltage doubler circuit.

3. D2 of the rectifier is shorted.
4. The large electric currents flow through the high volt-

age winding of the high voltage transformer.

5. The large electric currents beyond 8A flow through the

primary winding of the high voltage transformer.

6. The fuse F8A blows by the large electric currents.
7. The power supplying to the high voltage transformer is

cut off.

The noise filter assembly prevents radio frequency inter-
ference that might flow back in the power circuit.

The turntable motor rotates the turntable.

The fan motor drives a blade which draws external cool air.
This cool air is directed through the air vanes surrounding
the magnetron and cools the magnetron. This air is chan-
nelled through the oven cavity to remove steam and
vapours given off from heating food. It is then exhausted
through the exhausting air vents of the oven cavity.

The convection motor drives the convection fan and
provide the heated air.

The grill heating element is provided to brown the food and
is located on the top of the oven cavity.
