THIRTY THREE SECONDS run time chart for units more than 1550 watts cooking power.
Test equipment required is Amana power test kit R0157397 (Fahrenheit), or
Menumaster power test kit M95D5 (Celsius).
1. Fill the plastic container to the bottom of the 1000 ml. line with cool tap water.
2. Using the thermometer; Fahrenheit or Celsius, stir the water, measure and record the water temperature.
Initial water temperature should be approximately 60
°
F (20
°
C).
3. Place container on the center of the oven shelf and heat the water for 33 seconds for units more than 1550
Watts cooking power or 63 seconds for units less than 1550 Watts cooking power.
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 tem-
perature rise.
6. See the Temperature Chart provided below.
NOTE:
Always perform power test three times for accuracy, changing the water after each test is performed.
NOTE:
Variation or errors in the test procedure will cause a variance in the temperature rise indication. Additional
power tests should be made if temperature rise appears marginal.
NOTE:
Low line voltage may cause lower power output (temperature rise).
