Microwave Power Test
(TRADITIONAL TEST METHOD)
Test Equipment Needed:
• Amana power test kit R0157397, Fahrenheit or
• Menumaster power test kit M95D5, Centigrade.
1. Place one rack in the oven using lowest rack position.
2. Fill the plastic container to the bottom of the 1000 ml. lines with cool tap water.
3. Using the thermometer; Fahrenheit or Centigrade, stir the water, measure and record the water temperature.
IMPORTANT: Initial water temperature should be approximately 20°C (60°F).
4. Place the container on the center of the oven rack and heat the water for 62 seconds.
a. Close the door.
b. Press Hidden Pad, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.
c. Press 3 to activate microwave mode.
d. Display counts up to 62 seconds, and unit shuts off.
e. Open the door.
5. Stir the water, measure and record the temperature of the water after heating time is completed.
6. Subtract the starting water temperature (Step 3) from the ending water temperature (Step 5) to obtain the
temperature rise.
7. Refer to the Temperature Chart.
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 100 watts per magnetron for the
unit being tested.
Example:
900
watts output using the traditional power test for model ACE530
+ 100
watts (100 watts X each magnetron)
1000
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
power tests should be made if temperature rise appears marginal.
•
Low line voltage will cause lower temperature rise.
