WARNING TO SERVICE PERSONNEL

Microwave ovens contain circuitry capable of pro- ducing very high voltage and current, contact with following parts may result in a severe, possibly fatal, electrical shock.

(Example)

High Voltage Capacitor, High Voltage Power Transformer, Magnetron, High Voltage Rectifier Assembly, High Voltage Harness etc..

Read the Service Manual carefully and follow all instructions.

Don't Touch !

Danger High Voltage

Before Servicing

1.Disconnect the power supply cord , and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCHARGE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE CAPACITOR BEFORE SERVICING.

The high-voltage capacitor remains charged about 60 seconds after the oven has been switched off. Wait for 60 seconds and then short-circuit the connection of the high-voltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the high-voltage rectifier) against the chassis with the use of an insulated screwdriver.

Whenever troubleshooting is performed the power supply must be disconnected. It may, in some cases, be necessary to connect the power supply after the outer case has been removed, in this event:

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.Disconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.

5.Ensure that the leads remain isolated from other components and oven chassis by using insulation tape.

6.After that procedure, reconnect the power supply cord.

When the testing is completed,

1.Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove outer case.

2.Open the door and block it open.

3.Discharge high voltage capacitor.

4.Reconnect the leads to the primary of the power transformer.

5.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

6.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

7.Run the oven and check all functions.

After repairing

1.Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

2.Reinstall the outer case (cabinet).

3.Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

4.Run the oven and check all functions.

Microwave ovens should not be operated empty. To test for the presence of microwave energy within a cavity, place a cup of cold water on the oven turntable, close the door and set the power to HIGH and set the microwave timer for two

(2)minutes. When the two minutes has elapsed (timer at zero) carefully check that the water is now hot. If the water remains cold carry out Before Servicing procedure and re- examine the connections to the component being tested.

When all service work is completed and the oven is fully assembled, the microwave power output should be checked and a microwave leakage test should be carried out.

R-520LK, R-520LW specifications

The Sharp R-520LW and R-520LK are innovative microwave ovens that combine advanced technology with user-friendly features to enhance cooking experiences. Designed with modern kitchens in mind, these models embody efficiency, precision, and versatility.

One of the defining characteristics of both the R-520LW and R-520LK is their powerful 900-watt output, which allows for speedy cooking and reheating. This high wattage ensures that food is cooked evenly and retains its moisture, preventing the common issue of dry or unevenly heated meals. Furthermore, the inclusion of multiple cooking power levels provides users with flexibility, making it easy to select the ideal setting for various types of food.

Both models feature Sharp's signature Inverter Technology. Unlike traditional microwaves that use a turn-on and turn-off cycling method, inverter technology delivers a steady stream of cooking power. This results in more consistent heating, allowing delicate foods such as fish or custards to be cooked perfectly without overcooking the edges. This technology not only enhances the quality of cooked food but also improves the overall efficiency of the microwave.

The R-520LW and R-520LK come equipped with a variety of auto-cook settings that cater to different culinary needs. From popcorn to frozen vegetables, these pre-programmed settings allow users to prepare meals with just a touch of a button, making cooking uncomplicated for all skill levels. The large, user-friendly control panel features intuitive buttons and a digital display, ensuring effortless operation and visibility.

In terms of design, the R-520LW boasts a sleek white finish, while the R-520LK offers a modern black aesthetic. Both models are compact yet spacious, with a generous interior capacity that can accommodate a range of dish sizes. The turntable feature further enhances cooking efficiency by ensuring even cooking all around.

Cleaning and maintaining the R-520LW and R-520LK is a breeze, thanks to their easy-to-wipe surfaces and the interior's cavity that can be easily accessed. The durable construction of these microwaves means they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use.

In summary, the Sharp R-520LW and R-520LK microwave ovens stand out with their advanced features, such as inverter technology and pre-programmed cooking settings, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to streamline their kitchen tasks. Their stylish designs and user-friendly interfaces further enhance their appeal, making them valuable additions to any modern home.
