Letter to DOE on How Microwave Ovens Efficiency is Tested

CFA joined advocates urging DOE to

  • Clarify the instructions for testing standby power mode of a microwave oven but urge DOE to require that all microwave ovens be tested “as shipped.”
  • Investigate how to capture additional power use due to internet connected features
  • Establish an active mode test procedure for microwave ovens.
