The microwave oven provides 1200 Watts of
cooking power. The grill provides 1500 watts
of grilling power. The grill assembly consists
of three elements (shown below), but only
two are noticeable from inside the oven cav-
ity. These two elements consist of a 1000 watt
halogen, and a 500 watt quartz heater. Both
bulbs operate to provide the 1500 Watts of
cooking power for the grill.

120 Volt, 500 Watt Quartz Heater Element
The third element is a 60 volt, 600 watt Soft-
Start quartz element. This element is not used
for grilling heat. It is in the circuit with the other
elements to control inrush current during grill-
ing. Once the current stabilizes in the circuit,
a relay on the microcomputer board opens,
and eliminates power to the element.
