PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY
A. DO NOT attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open door operation can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
B. DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door too allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
C. DO NOT operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and
that there is no damage to the:
1. door (bent)
2. hinges and latches (broken or loosened)
3. door seals and sealing surfaces.

Performance Testing Procedures
! WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury or death, disconnect power to oven and discharge capacitor
before servicing, unless testing requires it.

All Amana and Menumaster microwave oven power outputs are rated using the IEC705 standards. Using the
IEC705 test method requires precision measurements and equipment that is not practical to be performed in the
field. Using the test shown below will indicate if the oven performance is satisfactory.

Test equipment required:

1000 ml test container and thermometer.
Digital watch / watch with a second hand for use on ovens with electromechanical timers.
Important Notes:
Low line voltage will cause low temperature rise / power output.
Ovens must be on a dedicated circuit, properly grounded, and polarized. Other equipment on the same
circuit may cause a low temperature rise / power output.
This test and results are not a true IEC705 test procedures and are only intended to provide servicers with
an easy means of determining if the microwave oven cooking output is correct.
Procedure
1. Fill the test container to the 1000 ml line with cool tap water.
NOTE: Water temperature should be approximately 60!F / 16!C
2. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds; measure, and record the temperature (T1).
3. Place test container of water in the center of oven cavity and close door.
4. Heat the water for a 33-second full power cycle.
NOTE: Use a digital watch or a watch with a second hand for ovens with electromechanical timers.
5. At end of the cycle, remove test container. Using the thermometer, stir water for five to ten seconds and record
temperature (T2).
6. Subtract the starting water temperature (T1), from the ending water temperature (T2) to obtain the temperature
rise ( T).
7. If the temperature rise ( T) meets or exceeds the minimum, the test is complete. If the temperature rise ( T)
fails to meet the minimum temperature rise, test the line voltage to verify it is correct. Then repeat steps 1 - 6
making sure to change the water. If the temperature rise ( T) fails to meet the minimum temperature rise again
the oven will require service.

Opens at 160ºC (320ºF)
Diode Discharge Capacitor Infinite resistance should be
measured in one direction and 50K Ω
Remove diode lead from capacitor and or more in the opposite direction.
connect ohmmeter.
NOTE: Ohmmeter must contain a
Reverse leads for second test. battery of 6 volts minimum.
Capacitor Discharge Capacitor

Remove wires from capacitor terminals Between Terminals: Meter should

and connect ohmmeter, set on highest momentarily deflect towards zero
resistance scale to terminals. then return to over 5 M Ω . If no
deflection occurs, or if continuous
deflection occurs, replace capacitor.
Also check between each terminal and
capacitor case. Terminal to Case: Infinite resistance
Magnetron Discharge Capacitor Between Terminals: Less than 1 Ω

Remove wires from magnetron and Each terminal to ground measures

connect ohmmeter to terminals. Also Infinite resistance.
check between each terminal and Note: This test is not conclusive. If
ground. oven does not heat and all other
components test good replace the
magnetron and retest.
Blower motor Remove all wires from motor.

Measure resistance across coil........................... Approximately 160 Ω

Stirrer motor Remove all wires from motor.

Measure resistance across terminals................ Approximately 14.7K Ω

Transformer Discharge Capacitor

Secondary Remove all wires from terminals.
