CHECKING THE MICROWAVE POWER OUTPUT

Use the following procedure to checkout the operation of the microwave oven.

1.Fill a 1-cup (260 ml) glass measuring cup with warm water (between 90˚F/32˚C and 100˚F/38˚C).

2.Open the oven door, place the container of water into the oven, and close the door.

3.Press the COOK keypad, and set the cooking time for 4-minutes.

4.Press the START/ENTER keypad. The oven cavity light should come on, the cooking cycle should begin, and the timer should count down in “seconds” from 4:00.

5.After approximately 2-1/2to 3-minutes, the water should start to boil. If more than 3-minutes is required, it could mean that the operating voltage is low, (below 110- volts), or it is not functioning properly and may need to be checked by a qualified technician.
