    Installation instructions Positioning the Oven In order to maintain adequate ventilation for air intake and exhaust, and to allow access for cleaning filters, you must allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the sides and rear of the oven, and at least 150mm above. Air intake temperature should not exceed 35°C. Excessive temperature will lead to reduced operating duty cycle or premature ageing of internal components.

    Procedure A - Power Output Test In accordance with BS EN 60335-2-90 This test is given in the BSI test standard for microwave ovens. It is reproduced below - not so that you can follow it, but to show you why it is impractical in normal conditions. A simplified procedure, which gives a good approximation to the BSI power output, is given in Procedure B which follows.
  • Page 13: Power Output Testing

    Procedure B - Simplified Power Output Test You will need: A thermometer capable of reading to ±0.1°C. A Polypropylene tray approximately 200 mm x 200 mm. A measuring jug. A calculator. Water which is at a temperature of 10°C ± 2°C. Measure 1 litre of cold water into the tray using the measuring jug.
  • Page 14: High Voltage Capacitor Test

    Procedure D - High Voltage Capacitor Test You will need: A Digital Multi-meter (D.M.M.) A Megger or similar resistance meter using 500V d.c. WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the High Voltage Capacitor. It is very dangerous to work near this part when the oven is on. NEVER make any voltage measurements at the High Voltage circuits, including the magnetron filament .
