There is a method described in this article that can be used even if you can't find a manual.

Quoting: "To find an approximation of your machine's wattage, fill a microwave-safe liquid measuring cup with 1 cup cold water. Microwave on High and keep an eye on it, noting how long it takes for the water to come to a boil:

• 1 1/2 minutes: 1,200 watts
• 2 minutes: 1,000 watts
• 2 1/2 minutes: 800 watts
• 3 minutes: 700 watts
• 4 minutes: 600 watts

There are 2 different wattage's on a microwave oven.

1 The wattage a microwave oven uses from your wallsocket that is in a range from 1500 watt to 2500 watt. you can read this on the typeshield on the back of the oven.

2 The wattage the oven put in you food. ( that is also the wattage that a foodpackage or recepy mentions. it is normal in the range from 600 to 1200 watt. you have too lookup this in the manual or manufacturers website.

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! ..:)

That microwave appears to 910 W

http://www.sharpusa.com doesn't have your manual. But you can find it yourself on the
back of the unit - the wattage should be listed.

If only the amperage is given (you know the voltage is 120 VAC RMS), so using Ohm's Law, you can calculate wattage:

Watts = 120 Volts X Amps

i just checked my R-3A36 manual to find out the wattage. it's 800 watts. i make pralines in my microwave. i am always asked for the recipe. so i needed to be able to tell people the wattage of my oven so they can adjust the recipe to their oven.
garry, metairie,la.

WATTAGE AND CU.FT IS UP TO YOU. JUST MAKE SURE WHAT YOU GET FITS LIKE THE OLD ONE DID DIMENSIONS WISE. THE HIGHER THE WATTAGE THE FASTER THEY COOK AND HEAT FOOD UP.

I still have a orginal lable on my microwave, it is a 800 watt oven.

Look on the back for the power requirements, them muliply the number of amps drawn times 100 . example 10 amps times 100 = approx 1000 watts, that will give you an approx. wattage. hope this helps

The output power for model MA-780 was 700 watts, so I'd bet yours is either 600 or 700 watts.
