0 a1 l x1 }. [# RThe appliance was placed in a test corner consisting of dull black painted fir plywood not less than 3/8 in. thick, having such width and height that the walls extended not less than 2 ft beyond the physical limits of the appliance. The vertical walls met at a right angle. A 12 inch deep simulated cabinet bottom, consisting of the same material as the walls, was placed 15 in. above the counter top. The supporting surface consisted of softwood covered by two layers of white tissue paper. The appliance was located as close to the walls as the construction would permit. A 60 Hz source of supply was connected to the unit with an input equal to the largest value recorded during the Power Input Test performed previously. A 3 A fuse was connected between dead metal parts of the unit and earth ground. % N, a1 ?# s4 G. p4 ]4 n! I6 X* q! x8 n+ R; J& M
