18、oven at the same temperature with its ports closed. The test isconducted at 100C and at the maximum temperature at whichthe oven is used.6.1.2 Seal all openings into the oven, including, but notnecessarily limited to, the vent ports, door, thermometer ports,and the space around the blower shaft (if

19、the blower motor ismounted externally).6.1.3 Install a watt-hour meter, as described in 5.5,intheoven electrical supply line.6.1.4 Install a temperature sensor, such as a thermometer, 2m to 3 m away from the oven, at least 1 m away from any solidobject, and approximately level with the oven air inta

When thetemperature of the oven has stabilized, measure the consump-tion of power over a measured period of 30 to 40 min. Beginand end the measuring period at correspo
