How do I know how many watts my microwave is?

1.45 kw is the same as 1450 watts and is the rated maximum cooking power for the unit

1200 watt input and 700 output makes it 700 watt machine.
sounds like tThe touch pad is finicky . Yes , you are stuck with it unless you wish to replace the touckh pad.

They claim to have parts for Mezzo:

please read your owner manual or download from www.retrevo.com or www.manualslib.com
God bless you

Cooking meat is not a good idea especially chicken, few microwaves have a higher enough temperature to properly cook it, you are using a 700 watt microwave, the core temperature is simply not high enough to properly cook the meat. I strongly recommend the regular oven for proper cooking and safety, plus it will taste better.

The JVM1740 line of microwaves give a maximum output of 1000W.

I hope this helps.

Hope that helps.

Is thisa the 39 Pound special?

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.

The output power is 1000W and that's near the high end for a consumer microwave. Hope this helps.

Please write back with more details if you need further help.

You will need a step-down transformer of the appropriate power (wattage) and the proper adapter plug for the country you'll be in. You need to look on the back of the microwave and see how many watts it CONSUMES, not how many watts of cooking power it produces. Usually the power consumption requirement should be in the ballpark of twice the power output. For a 700W (cooking power) oven, I would suspect it has about a 1400W power consumption requirement, so your step-down transformer must be rated at least 1500W. That may be cutting it close, so for lower heat and longer transformer life, I would choose a 2000 watt model. You need to be sure it comes with an adapter plug that's made for receptacles in the country you'll go to. One site I found has them for about $60. but I would read up on the subject to see if you need one of an EVEN HIGHER rating since microwave ovens do surge when they start cooking. You may need to use one rated at 3000W or more. More info: http://www.dvdoverseas.com/store/index.html?loadfile=itemthg2000.html
