OVEN PERFORMANCE TEST
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.
