GETTING READY

Introduction

There are certain things that should be taken care of

before testing your microwave oven. It is a good practice

to follow these guidelines when using and testing any

microwave oven:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE A MICROWAVE OVEN

WITH:

1.

Any object caught in the door.

2.

A door that does not close properly.

3.

A damaged door, hinge, latch, or sealing

surface.

Preparing the Oven

1.

Make sure that the oven is clean and that there is

no buildup of dirt around the door seal area.

2.

Inspect the door and sealing surfaces, the hinge,

and the latch for damage or a loose fit.

3.

If the oven has a variable power control or a defrost

setting, make sure it is set for full power.

4.

In order to make an accurate leakage measurement

you must use the specified water load. Fill the

beaker to a level of 275 mL with cool tap water and

place it in the center of the oven.

5.

Set your oven timer for approximately three (3)

minutes. If your test takes longer than this, the

water may boil. If it does, pour out the water and

refill using 275 mL of cool tap water.
