NE-C1153 / NE-C1153C 6 DESCRIPTION OF OPERATING SEQUENCE 6.1. Variable power cooking control (MICROWAVE) The coil of power relays are energized intermittently by the digital programmer circuit, when the oven is set at any power selection except for High power position. The digital programmer circuit controls the ON-OFF time of power relays contacts in order to vary the output power of the microwave oven.
