Preparing the Oven
Do not attempt to operate a microwave oven
with:
 Any object caught in the door.
 A door that does not close properly
 A damaged door, hinge, latch or
sealing surface.
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. Make sure the oven 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 the oven timer for approximately three minutes. If your test takes
longer than this, the water may boil. If the water boils, pour it out and
refill using 275 mL of cool tap water.
If the timer is set longer than three minutes, the
water may boil. If the water does boil, carefully
remove the beaker and pour out the water.
Once the beaker has cooled, refill with 275 mL
of cool tap water.
