3.7
set to off mode
action where the product is switched off using appliance controls or switches that are
accessible and intended for operation by the user during normal use to attain the lowest
power consumption that may persist for an indefinite time while connected to a main power
source and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
NOTE 1 All actions required to set to off mode like for example empty the water tank, remove food, close the
door, etc. have to be taken.
NOTE 2 See 3.5 of IEC 62301:2011 for the definition of "off mode".
3.8
set to standby mode
action where the product is switched to standby using appliance controls or switches that are
accessible and intended for operation by the user during normal use to attain the lowest
power consumption that may persist for an indefinite time while connected to a main power
source and used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
NOTE See 3.6 of IEC 62301:2011 for the definition of "standby mode".
3.9
cooling down period
unstable condition persisting after completion of the active mode and the appliance is set to
off mode where the power consumption may change without any intervention by the user
3.10
food support
horizontal support in the cavity on which the load is placed
NOTE If the appliance is fitted with a turntable, the turntable is the food support. The food support can also be
a shelf or a reciprocating tray. If recommended by manufacturer’s instruction also the cavity bottom can be the
food support.
4.1 According to type
Add, after the second dashed item, before the sentence “The type of oven shall be stated in
the report” the following new paragraphs and new note:
The manufacturers shall define the primary cooking function of the appliance, microwave
function or thermal heat. The primary cooking function has to be measured with an existing
method according to energy consumption.
If the primary cooking function is declared as a microwave function IEC 60705 shall be
applied for energy consumption measurement. If the primary cooking function is declared as a
thermal heat IEC 60350-1 shall be applied for energy consumption measurement.
NOTE There is currently no measurement method for the energy consumption for grilling and steam functions.
4.2 According to characteristics
Replace the existing second dashed item by the following new dashed items:
– Dimensions of shelves
– Moved food support, e.g. reciprocating tray, turntable
– Possible thermal heating modes (grilling, hot air, steam function etc.).
5 List of measurements

Except for the tests of 11.1, these tests are also applicable to combination microwave ovens when operated
in the microwave only mode.
Add, under Table 1, the following new paragraph:
The methods described in Clauses 8 and 14 are only applicable for appliances with
microwave function. If a combination microwave oven does not provide a microwave
function the tests are not applicable. The energy consumption measurement cannot be
carried out with combined microwave function.
6.1 General
Replace the existing second paragraph by the following:
When a metal food support is provided and used for the measurements, the load position
and the corresponding shape of the metal food support shall be reported.
