By the name I would think that it is a 1000 watt Microwave. Wattage as in cooking power is what you wanted? Running wattage, a 15 amp circuit will work fine. A 120 volt, 1000 watt microwave will use 13.4 amps (1,600 watts) of electricity in a full power cooking cycle. I think that covers everything! ..:)
There's little to be found on the internet for this model oven now. There should be a name plate / manufacturer's sticker either inside the door - on the jamb; or on the rear near the power cord. If you see a rating given as "120VAC / 1200W" this would indicate INPUT wattage, which would be higher than the amount used for cooking. A typical 1200W rated microwave might have 800 - 1000 Watts of cooking power. If there are 2 ratings for wattage like 120V / 1200W / 850W; the 850 Watts is the amount of cooking power. The cooking power - or wattage - is always lower than the total wattage. If you see a rating somewhere that indicates 900W cooking power, then that would be the cooking power of the oven.
If you're not satisfied or unsure about the information you're finding on the oven - or it is missing - you might want to contact Magic Chef Customer Service Department at (888) 775-0202. They should be able to help you - or pint you in the right direction.
Start out with just a few seconds if you are heating something and increase it if it isn't heated through, Sounds like the wattage is high on your unit or you are using too much time. Don't over do it. Just use a few seconds or a few minutes. Don't use the pre-sets if they are burning your food. Just punch in the seconds or minutes yourself until you learn how much time you need for the food you are cooking or heating.
check to make sure there isn't any food at the top of the microwave, also, if your microwave allows maybe try turning down the wattage when you cook such as cook on medium or Low wattage.
Always use an oven bag is used to promote even cooking. Microwave on MEDIUM (50% power) for 7 to 9 minutes per pound rotating
dish every 15 minutes. Not recommended for turkey over 12 pounds
Use an instant-read thermometer after cooking. Turkey is done when
thermometer reads 180 degrees to 185 degrees F for whole turkey or 170
degrees to 175 degrees F for turkey breast. Insert thermometer through
**** in oven bag into inner thigh for whole turkey or into thickest
part of breast for turkey breast.
For easy slicing, let stand 10 minutes after removing from microwave
oven. To open, carefully cut or **** top of oven bag. NOTE Microwave
directions were tested in 600 to 700-watt microwaves. Higher or lower
wattage ovens may need adjustment in cooking times.
I've never heard of a microwave that lets you change the cooking power output. The magnetron tube that produces the microwaves only has off or on modes. No "low wattage" mode.
The "percentage cooking power" adjustments you can make on the control panel only cycle the microwaves on and off to reduce the amount of time the oven is actually cooking.
If this information was useful, please select YES to the first two rating questions. Good Luck and thank you!
