I'm not finding it in the owner's manual, but there is a tag inside the cavity which should tell you either how many amps it requires or how many input watts it consumes.
If it gives you power in watts, just divide: #watts / 120V = current in amps.
If that tag doesn't tell you, maybe one on the back of the unit will.
It will probably be 13-18 amps, depending on whether its power output is 950 watts or 1200 watts.
There
should be a "mini-manual" (tech sheet) hidden inside the unit
behind the
control panel or hidden on the left side behind the grille, which is
very helpful when troubleshooting, testing, and locating
components.
At
our Web site, we have a video
available showing how to remove a typical
over the range control panel assembly in under 5 minutes.
On that mini-manual, there should be a troubleshooting flowchart, and it will have a few different current measurement values on it. You should be able to decipher the normal draw from that.
If you're just trying to figure out how many amps the breaker should be on the microwave's power line, figure 15A for an oven rated at less than about 1000 watts output power, and 20A for an oven rated at over 1000W.
