[6] OVEN TEMPERATURE FUSE

The temperature fuse, located on the top of the oven cavity, is
designed to prevent damage to the oven by fire.If the food load is over-
cooked, by either error in cook time or defect in the control unit, the
temperature fuse will open.Under normal operation, the temperature
fuse remains closed. However, when abnormally high temperatures
are reached within the oven cavity, the temperature fuse will open at
150°C, causing the oven to shut down.

[7] TURNTABLE MOTOR

The turntable motor drives the turntable roller assembly to rotate the
turntable.

[8] FAN MOTOR

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

[9] NOISE FILTER

The noise filter prevents the radio frequency interference that might
flow back in the power circuit.
