WARNING!To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury ordeath; make sure to follow grounding instructions.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING!Do not remove grounding prong when installinggrounded appliance in a home or business that doesnot have three wire grounding receptacle. Under nocondition is grounding prong to be cut off or removed.It is the personal responsibility of the consumer tocontact a qualified electrician and have properlygrounded three prong wall receptacle installed inaccordance with appropriate local electrical codes.

Should a two prong adapter plug be required temporarilyit is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have itreplaced with a properly polarizied and grounded threeprong receptacle or the two prong adapter properlygrounded by a qualified electrician in accordance withappropriate electrical codes.

Servicing of Grounded ProductsThe standard accepted color coding for grounding wiresis GREEN or GREEN WITH YELLOW STRIPE. Theseground leads are NOT to be used as current carryingconductors. It is extremely important that the technicianreplace any and all grounds prior to completion of theservice call. Under no condition should ground wire be leftoff, which can cause a potential hazard to techniciansand consumer.

WARNING!Precautions to be observed before and duringservicing to avoid possible exposure to excessivemicrowave energy or electrical shock, disconnectpower to oven.

Do not operate or allow oven to be operated with dooropen.Make the following safety checks on all ovens to beserviced before activating the magnetron or othermicrowave source, and make repairs as necessary:• Interlock operation• Proper door closing• Seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other

damage)• Damage to or loosening of hinges, and latches• Evidence of dropping or abuseBefore turning on microwave power for any servicetest or inspection within the microwave generatingcompartments, check the magnetron, waveguide ortransmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,integrity, and connections.Any failed or misadjusted components in theinterlock, monitor, door seal, microwave generation,and transmission systems shall be repaired, replacedor adjusted by procedures described in this manualbefore oven is released to the consumer.Check microwave leakage to verify compliance withthe federal performance standard should be performedon each oven prior to releasing to the consumer.

WIRINGGood service practice is to never route wiring overterminals and/or sharp edges. This applies to any wiringwithout regard to the circuit voltage. Wire insulationmaterial and thickness is designed and regulated forelectrical spacing purpose only, but cannot always berelied upon because of possible cuts and/or abrasions,which can occur during servicing.

CAUTION!Do not become exposed to radiation from themicrowave generator or other parts conductingmicrowave energy.

Basic design of this microwave oven makes it aninherently safe device to both use and service. However,there are some precautions which should be followedwhen servicing microwave ovens to maintain this safety.These are as follows:

1. Always operate unit from an adequately groundedoutlet. Do not operate on a two-wire extension cord.

2. Before servicing unit (if unit is operable) performmicrowave leakage test.

3. Oven should never be operated if door does not fitproperly against seal, hinge/hinge bearings aredamaged or broken; choke is damaged, (piecesmissing, etc.); or any other visible damage can benoted. Check choke area to ensure that this area isclean and free of all foreign matter. If any aboveproblems occur take the following steps:

• Tell the user not to operate the oven.• Contact Amana immediately.

4. If oven operates with door open and producesmicrowave energy, take the following steps:

• Tell the user not to operate the oven.• Contact Amana immediately.

5. Always have oven disconnected when outer case isremoved except when making "live" tests called for inthe service manual. Do not reach into equipmentarea while unit is energized. Make all connectionsfor the test and check them for tightness beforeplugging cord into outlet.

6. Always ground capacitors on magnetron filter box andH.V. capacitor with an insulated-handle screwdriverbefore working in high voltage area of equipmentcompartment. Some types of failures will leave acharge in capacitors and the discharge could cause areflex action which could make you injure yourself.

7. In the area of the transformer, capacitor, diode, andmagnetron there is HIGH VOLTAGE. When unit isoperating, keep area clean and free of anything whichcould possibly cause an arc or ground, etc.

8. DO NOT for any reason defeat interlock switches,there is no valid reason for this action at any time;nor will it be condoned by Amana.

Important Safety Information9. Microwave ovens should never be operated with:

• Any components removed and/or bypassed• Any of the safety interlocks are found to be

defective• Any of the seal surfaces which are failing, missing

or damaged

10.To ensure that unit does not emit excessivemicrowave leakage and to meet Department of Healthand Human Services guidelines check oven formicrowave leakage using Narda Model 8110B orHoladay HI1501, HI1510, HI1710 leakage monitor asoutlined in instructions. Maximum leakage levelallowed is 4mw/cm2 .

AntennaDistributes microwave energy throughout the cavity.

Blower/Fan AssemblyCirculates cooling air throughout the microwave ovencompartment and cavity.

Splatter ShieldCovers and protects the antenna assembly.

Door Interlock and Monitoring SwitchNOTE: When the line fuse is blown the Interlock Switch

Assembly must be replaced.

Interlock switch (assembly) mounts behind oven cavityfront bulkhead. It is actuated by door hook and guideattached to the door.

Monitoring switch (contacts 7 and 8) is actuated by thedoor guide.

The secondary interlock switch (contacts 2 and 3) andprimary interlock switch (contacts 4 and 5) are actuatedby the door hook.

The secondary interlock switch is in series with theinterlock monitoring switch in the monitor circuit.

If a malfunction occurs in the secondary interlock whendoor opens, current will flow through the monitor switchcausing the oven fuse to open.

If a faulty door interlock switch has allowed currentthrough the monitor switch, the switch assembly must bereplaced (see interlock switch testing) before replacingfuse.

DANGER!To avoid severe personal injury or death avoidcontacting any high voltage parts. The capacitors areat high voltage (4000 volt) potential and it is extremelyimportant that they be grounded before handling.

Transformer High VoltageHigh voltage transformer is used in this unit, whichsupplies high voltage A.C. for operation of the magnetrontube.

High Voltage CapacitorDoubles the A.C. output voltage from the high voltagetransformer.

High Voltage Diode (Rectifier)Is connected at the output side of the high voltagecapacitor. It changes voltage from A.C. to D.C. Itpasses current in one direction and blocks it in the other.Also called a rectifier.

MagnetronWith filament voltage and high D.C. voltage from theoutput of the H.V. capacitor, diode junction themagnetron will put out an electomagnetic radiofrequency of 2450 MHz to heat the food load in theoven.

Thermal ProtectorsAt a predetermined temperature the thermal cut-outs willopen or close. The oven will indicate an error code in thedisplay, initiate cooling fan operation, or prevent thegeneration of microwave energy.

• Magnetron thermal cut-out is mounted directly on thebody of the magnetron.

• Oven cavity thermal cutout is mounted inside theexhaust duct.

Touch PanelsAllows consumer operation and programming of oven.

TriacsTriacs are controlled by high voltage circuit boards.Triacs control one side of the power line going to thehigh voltage power transformer.

• Microwave triacs are mounted on back of oven cavitypanel.

Power Testing Procedure


19 RS2240003 Rev. 0

Power Test (Traditional Test Method)Test equipment required is Amana power test kit R0157397 (Fahrenheit), orMenumaster power test kit M95D5 (Celsius).1. Fill the plastic container to the 1000 ml. line with cool tap water.2. Using the thermometer; stir the water, measure, and record the water temperature.

Initial water temperature should be approximately 60°F (16°C).3. Place container on the center of the oven shelf and heat the water for

33 seconds for ovens with more than 1550 watts or 63 seconds for ovens with less than 1550 watts.NOTE: Use a watch second hand, not the oven timer.4. Stir the water, measure and record the temperature of the water after heating time is complete.5. Subtract the starting water temperature (Step 2), from the ending water temperature (Step 4) to obtain the

temperature rise (∆T).6. See the Traditional Power Test Temperature Chart below.NOTES: •The IEC-705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment. It is not practical to perform

the IEC test in the field. To convert the traditional power test results to the approximate IEC-705 rating,take the traditional power test results and add 150 watts per magnetron for the unit being tested.Example: 1400 watts output using the traditional power test for model RC17S

+ 300 watts (2 magnetrons X 150 watts)1700 Approximate IEC-705 results

•Always perform power test three times for accuracy, changing the water after each test is performed.•Variation or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise. Additional powertests should be made if temperature rise appears marginal.

•Low line voltage will cause lower temperature rise.

Measurement With the Outer CaseRemoved

DANGER!To avoid risk of personal injury or death avoidcontacting any high voltage components.

Whenever you replace the magnetron, measure forradiation leakage before the outer case is installed andafter all necessary components are replaced oradjusted. Special care should be taken in measuringaround the magnetron.

Measurement With a Fully Assembled OvenAfter all components, including the outer panel are fullyassembled, measure for radiation leakage around thedoor periphery, the door viewing window, the exhaustopening, and air inlet openings.

Record Keeping and Notification AfterMeasurement1. After any adjustment or repair to a microwave oven,

a leakage reading must be taken. Record thisleakage reading on the repair ticket even if it is zero.

2. A copy of the repair ticket and the microwaveleakage reading should be kept by the repair facility.

Microwave Leakage Test

WARNING!Check for radiation leakage after servicing. Should theleakage be more than 4mW/cm2 inform Amanaimmediately. After repairing or replacing any radiationsafety device, keep a written record for futurereference, as required by D.H.H.S. and HEWregulations. This requirement must be strictlyobserved. In addition, the leakage reading must berecorded on the service repair ticket while at thecustomer’s location.

Equipment• Electromagnetic radiation monitor• 600 cc glass beaker

Procedure For Measuring RadiationLeakageNote before measuring -

• Do not exceed meter full scale deflection. Leakmonitor should initially be set to the highest scale.

• To prevent false readings the test probe should beheld by the grip portion of the handle only.

• The scan speed is equal to one inch per antennarevolution or one inch per second if antenna speed isunknown.

• Areas to be checked are all door seal areas and anyventing parts.

• Leakage with the outer panel removed, 4mW/cm2 orless.

• Leakage for fully assembled oven with door normallyclosed, 4mW/cm2 or less.

• Leakage for a fully assembly oven (before the latchswitch (primary) is interrupted) while pulling the door,4mW/cm2 or less.

1. Open the oven door and verify that there is only onerack in place on the bottom rack hooks.

2 . Pour 275 ± 15 cc (9 oz ± 1/2 oz) of 20 ± 5°C. (68±9°F.) water in a glass beaker which is graduated to600 cc and place the beaker in the center of rack.

3. Set the radiation monitor to 2450 MHz and use itfollowing the manufacturer’s recommended testprocedure to assure correct results.

4. While measuring the leakage, always use the twoinch (5 cm) spacer supplied with the probe.

5. Press the start pad or turn on the timer and with themagnetron oscillating, measure the leakage byholding the probe perpendicular to the surface beingmeasured.

Equipment Set-Up and Close Procedures

IntroductionThis Amana oven uses microwave technology to restore heat that is lostduring the assembly of menu items. This unit may also be used inpreparation of specific ingredients or components of a menu item.

Each unit is equipped with pre-programmed control panel allowing the crewperson to begin the heating process based on menu item and quantity.

Hazard Communication Standard—The procedure(s) in this chapter mayinclude the use of chemical products. These chemical products will behighlighted with bold face letters followed by abbreviation (HCS). SeeHazard Communication Standard (HCS) Manual for appropriate MaterialSafety Data Sheets (MSDS).

Do Not Operate the Unit When EmptyWhen operating oven, be sure there is absorbing material (food, water)inside oven. Insufficient or improper food loads may cause magnetron(s) tooverheat. Using metal containers may also cause the magnetron to overheat.When magnetrons do overheat, the thermal switch will turn the oven off toallow the magnetron to cool. Several minutes will elapse before the switchresets and allows the oven to operate.

Do Not Put Excessive Weight on DoorThe oven door is NOT designed to hold excessive weight. Additional weightplaced on door can cause it to become misaligned. This will result inimproper oven operation.

WARNING!To avoid risk of electrical shock,severe personal injury or death,do not remove outer case at anytime. Only authorized servicershould remove outer case.

Open1. Verify all units are plugged into properly grounded and polarized outlets.2. Open and close door to unit. Blower fan will start and control panel will

display active menu item. Press menu pad until M1 displays, indicatingthe breakfast category.

TransitionAt transition, be certain to change menu category by pressing desired menupad. Units will remain in this category until CLOSE.

Close1. With clean sanitized towel dipped in McD Sanitizer (HCS), thoroughly

wipe inside walls, floor, door and splatter shield at top of oven. Be sureto “wring” sponge or cloth to remove excess water before wiping outunit. Water pressure type cleaning systems should not be used toclean oven interior or exterior. If stubborn splatters exist on walls, onecup of tap water can be boiled in the oven for 1 - 2 minutes. Use yourAmana wattage beaker for this procedure. Steam from boiling water willhelp loosen splatters.

2. Wipe exterior with clean sanitized towel soaked in McD Sanitizer(HCS). Allow oven to air dry.

3. Close door after cleaning, and press appropriate menu pad forbreakfast category. Unit is ready for OPEN.

CAUTION!To avoid risk of propertydamage, do not use abrasivecleaners or cleaners containintammonia. They might damagethe finish. Never pour water intothe bottom of oven.
