When the testing is completed,

1. Disconnect the power supply cord, and then remove covers.

2. Open the drawer and keep it open.

3. Discharge high voltage capacitor.

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

5. Reinstall the covers.

6. Reconnect the power supply cord.

7. Run the unit and check all functions.

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 highvoltage capacitor (that is the connecting lead of the highvoltage 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 neccessary covers.

2. Open the drawer and keep 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.

After repairing

1. Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

2. Reinstall the covers.

3. Reconnect the power supply cord.

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 tray, close the drawer 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.

MICROWAVE MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

A. Requirements:

1) Microwave leakage limit (Power density limit): The power density of microwave radiation emitted by a microwave oven should not exceed 1mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven, measured prior to acquisition by a purchaser, and thereafter (through the useful life of the oven), 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

2) Safety interlock switches: Primary interlock relay switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of the requirement as above mentioned. Secondary interlock relay and door sensing switch shall prevent microwave radiation emission in excess of 5 mW/cm2 at any point 5cm or more from the external surface of the oven.

B. Preparation for testing: Before beginning the actual measurement of leakage, proceed as follows:

1) Make sure that the actual instrument is operating normally as specified in its instruction booklet.

Important: Survey instruments that comply with the requirement for instrumentation as prescribed by the performance standard for microwave ovens, 21 CFR 1030.10(c)(3)(i), must be used for testing.

2) Place the load of 275±15 ml (9.8 oz) of tap water initially at 20±5 The water container shall be a low form of 600 ml (20 oz) beaker with an inside diameter of approx. 8.5 cm (3-1/2 in.) and made of an electrically nonconductive material such as glass or plastic. The placing of this standard load in the oven is important not only to protect the oven, but also to insure that any leakage is measured accurately.

3) Set the cooking control on Full Power Cooking Mode.

4) Close the drawer and select a cook cycle of several minutes. If the water begins to boil before the survey is completed, replace it with 275 ml of cool water.

C (68OF) in the center of the oven cavity.

C. Leakage test:

Closed-drawer leakage test (microwave measurement):

1) Grasp the probe of the survey instrument and hold it perpendicular to the gap between the drawer and the body of the oven.

2) Move the probe slowly, not faster than 1 in./sec. (2.5 cm/sec.) along the gap, watching for the maximum indication on the meter.

3) Check for leakage at the drawer screen, sheet metal seams and other accessible positions where the continuity of the metal has been breached (eg., around the switches, indicator, and vents). While testing for leakage around the drawer, pull the drawer away from the front of the oven as far as is permitted by the closed latch assembly.

4) Measure carefully at the point of highest leakage and make sure that the highest leakage is no greater than 4mW/cm2, and that the primary interlock switch/secondary interlock relay does turn the oven OFF before any door movement.

NOTE: After servicing, record data on service invoice and microwave leakage report.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This oven is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

Electrical Requirements The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp. fused electrical supply. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided. When installing this appliance, observe all applicable codes and ordinances.

Where a two-pronged wall-receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contacta qualified electrician and have it replaced with a properly grounded three-pronged wall receptacle or have a grounding adapter properly grounded and polarized. If the extension cord must be used, it should be a 3-wire, 15 amp. or higher rated cord. Do not drape over a countertop or table where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.

CAUTION: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE ROUND GROUNDING PRONG FROM

THIS PLUG.

OPERATION

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE

The following is a description of component functions during oven operation.

OFF CONDITION

Closing the drawer activates the door sensing switch and secondary interlock switch. (In this condition, the monitor switch contacts are opened.) When oven is plugged in, 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the control unit. (Page 8).

1. The display will show flashing "Enjoy Your Drawer Touch Clear and Touch Clock". To set any program or set the clock, you must first touch the STOP/CLEAR pad. The display will clear, and " : " will appear.

COOKING CONDITION

Program desired cooking time by touching the NUMBER pads. Program the power level by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and then a Number pad. When the START pad is touched, the following operations occur:

1. The contacts of relays are closed and components connected to the relays are turned on as follows. (For details, refer to Page 8)

the secondary interlock switch and secondary interlock relay and is mechanically associated with the drawer so that it will function in the following sequence.

(1) When the drawer opens from the closed position, the

secondary interlock relay (RY2) and secondary interlock switch open their contacts. And contacts of the relay (RY1) remains closed. Then the monitor switch contacts close.

(2) When the drawer is closed from the open position, the

monitor switch contacts open first. Then the contacts of the secondary interlock switch and door sensing switch

close. And contacts of the relay (RY1) open. If the secondary interlock switch and secondary interlock relay (RY2) fail with the contacts closed when the drawer is opened, the closing of the monitor switch contacts will form a short circuit through the fuse, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and secondary interlock relay (RY2), causing the fuse to blow.

POWER LEVEL P-0 TO P-90 COOKING

When Variable Cooking Power is programmed, the 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the power transformer intermittently through the contacts of relay (RY-2) which is operated by the control unit within a 32 second time base. Microwave power operation is as follows:

RELAY CONNECTED COMPONENTS

RY-1 oven lamp/stir fan motor/fan motor

RY-2 power transformer

2. 120 volts A.C. is supplied to the primary winding of the power transformer and is converted to about 3.3 volts A.C. output on the filament winding, and approximately 2370 volts A.C. on the high voltage winding.

3. The filament winding voltage heats the magnetron filament and the H.V. winding voltage is sent to a voltage doubler circuit.

4. The microwave energy produced by the magnetron is channelled through the waveguide into the cavity feedbox, and then into the cavity where the food is placed to be cooked.

5. Upon completion of the cooking time, the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off, and the generation of microwave energy is stopped. The oven will revert to the OFF condition.

6. When the drawer is opened during a cook cycle, the monitor switch, door sensing switch, secondary interlock switch, relay (RY1) and secondary interlock relay are activated with the following results. The circuits to the stir fan motor, the cooling fan motor, and the high voltage components are de-energized, the oven lamp remains on, and the digital read-out displays the time still remaining in the cook cycle when the door was opened.

7. The monitor switch electrically monitors the operation of

VARI-MODE ON TIME OFF TIME

Power 9(P-90) 30 sec. 2 sec. (approx. 90% power)

Power 8(P-80) 26 sec. 6 sec. (approx. 80% power)

Power 7(P-70) 24 sec. 8 sec. (approx. 70% power)

Power 6(P-60) 22 sec. 10 sec. (approx. 60% power)

Power 5(P-50) 18 sec. 14 sec. (approx. 50% power)

Power 4(P-40) 16 sec. 16 sec. (approx. 40% power)

Power 3(P-30) 12 sec. 20 sec. (approx. 30% power)

Power 2(P-20) 8 sec. 24 sec. (approx. 20% power)

Power 1(P-10) 6 sec. 26 sec. (approx. 10% power)

Power 0(P-0) 0 sec. 32 sec. (0% power)

Note: The ON/OFF time ratio does not correspond with the

percentage of microwave power, because approx. 2 seconds are needed for heating of the magnetron filament.

SENSOR COOKING CONDITION

Using the SENSOR function, food is cooked without figuring time, power level or quantity. When the oven senses enough steam from the food, it relays the information to its microprocessor which will calculate the remaining cooking time and power level needed for best results. When the food is cooked, water vapor is developed. the sensor "senses" the vapor and its resistance increase gradually. When the resistance reaches the value set according to the menu, supplementary cooking is started. The time of supplementary cooking is determined by experiment with each food category and inputted into the LSI. An example of how sensor works: (Potatoes)

1. Potatoes at room temperature. Vapor is emitted very slowly.

KB-6015KS KB-6015KK KB-6015KW

2. The coil of shut-off relay (RY-1) is energized, but the power transformer is not turned on.

3. After about 16 seconds, the cook relay (RY-2) is energized. The power transformer is turned on, microwave energy is produced and first stage is started. The 16 seconds is the cooling time required to remove any vapor from the oven cavity and sensor.

NOTE: During this first stage, do not open the drawer or

touch STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the display switches over to the remaining cooking time and the timer counts down to zero. At this time, the drawer may be opened to stir, turn or season food.

5. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds. The shut-off relay and cook relay are de-energized and the power transformer, oven lamp, etc. are turned off.

6. Opening the drawer or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad, the time of the day will reappear on the display and the oven will revert to an OFF condition. When the timer reaches zero, an audible signal sounds.

E PROCEDURES TO BE TAKEN WHEN THE FUSE ON THE PRINTED WIRING BOARD (PWB) IS

OPEN.

To protect the electronic circuits, this model is provided with a fuse added to the primary on the PWB.

1. Fuse check and repairs.

1) Disconnect the power supply cord.

2) Remove the outer case cabinet.

3) Open the door and block it open.

4) Discharge high voltage capacitor.

5) If the Fuse is blown, replace power unit.

6) Make a visual inspection of the varistor. Check for burned damage. If the varistor has been burned, replace the power unit.

7) Examine the touch control transformer with a tester for the presence of layer short-circuit (check the primary coil resistance which is approximately 151.6Ω ± 10%). If any abnormal condition is detected, replace the touch control transformer.

8) Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing.

9) Re-install the outer case (cabinet).

10) Reconnect the power supply cord after the outer case is installed.

F AH SENSOR TEST

Checking the initial sensor cooking condition WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.

(1) The oven should be plugged in at least two minutes before sensor cooking. (2) Room temperature should not exceed 95οF (35οC). (3) The unit should not be installed in any area where heat and steam are generated. The unit should not be

installed, for example, next to a conventional surface unit. Refer to the “INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” of the operation manual.

(4) Exhaust vents are provided on the back of the unit for proper cooling and air flow in the cavity. To permit

adequate ventilation, be sure to install so as not to block these vents. There should be some space for air circulation.

(5) Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture

with a dry cloth or paper towel.

(6) The Sensor works with food at normal storage temperature. For example, chicken pieces would be at

refrigerator temperature and canned soup at room temperature.

(7) Avoid using aerosol sprays or cleaning solvents near the oven while using Sensor settings. The sensor

will detect the vapor given of by the spray and turn off before food is properly cooked.

(8) If the sensor has not detected the vapor of the food, ERROR will appear and the oven will shut off.

COMPONENT TEST

Water load cooking test WARNING : The oven should be fully assembled before following procedure.

Make sure the oven has been plugged in at least two minutes before checking sensor cook operation. The cabinet should be installed and screws tightened. (1) Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup. (2) Place the container on the center of tray in the oven cavity. (3) Close the drawer. (4) Touch the TIMER/CLOCK pad once, the POWER LEVEL pad twice and the START pad once. And touch

the number pads 1 once and the number pad 4 once. Now, the oven is in the sensor cooking condition,

and "AH20" and "ON" will appear in the display. (5) The oven will operate for the first 16 seconds, without generating microwave energy. NOTE: ERROR will appear if the door is opened or STOP/CLEAR pad is touched during first stage of sensor

cooking. (6) After approximately 16 seconds, microwave energy is produced. If ERROR is displayed or the oven does not turn off, replace the AH sensor or check the control unit, refer to explanation below. If the oven stops after 5 minutes and no ERROR code is displayed, then the AH sensor is normal. Check other parts except the AH sensor.

TESTING METHOD FOR AH SENSOR AND/OR CONTROL UNIT

To determine if the sensor is defective, the simplest method is to replace it with a new replacement sensor.

(1) Disconnect the power supply cord, and

then disassemble as per "MICROWAVE DRAWER

DISASSEMBLY" page 25.

(2) Open the drawer and block it open. (3) Discharge high voltage capacitor. (4) Remove the AH sensor. (5) Install the new AH sensor. (6) Reconnect all leads removed from components during testing. (7) Re-install the covers. (8) Reconnect the power supply cord after the covers are installed. (9) Reconnect the oven to the power supply and check the sensor cook operation as follows:

9-1. Fill approximately 200 milliliters (7.2 oz) of tap water in a 1000 milliliter measuring cup.
