6.12 MICROWAVE/WATER HEATER
120-volt electric power is required to operate the
microwave and can be selected to power the water
heater. A selector switch located in the kitchen
allows the user to direct the available electric
power to the microwave oven or the water heater.
There is not normally sufficient electrical power
available to operate both at the same time.
Normally the power is directed to the water heater
except for when the microwave is being used.
Since the water heater element is only on for part
of the time, directing the power to the microwave
only simulates an element off cycle. Always
switch back to water heater when the microwave
use is over.
When the power is directed to the water heater, the
power monitor light comes on. When the circuit
breaker trips, it will have to be reset and the reset
button pushed for the water heater to function
again. Determine the cause of the tripping prob-
lem and correct it before starting the heater ele-
ment again.
