-Test dinnerware or cookware before

using.

To test a dish for safe use, put

it into the oven with a cup of water

beside it. Cook at 100% Cook Power

for one minute.

If the dish gets hot

and water stays cool, do not use It.

Some dishes (melamine, some

ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb

microwave energy, becoming too hot

to handle and slowing cooking times.

Cooking in metal containers not

designed for microwave use can

damage the oven, as can containers

with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,

staples, metallic glaze or trim).

-Remove wire twist-ties from paper or

plastic bags before placing bag in

1. A short power-supply cord is provided

to reduce the risks resulting from

becoming entangled in or tripping

over a longer cord.

2. Longer cord sets or extension cords

are available and may be used if care

is exercised in their use.

3. If a long cord or extension cord is

used temporarily, (a) the marked

electrical rating of the cord set or

extension cord should be at least as

great as the electrical rating of the

Operating safety precautions

To reduce the risk of burns, fire,

electriial shock, injury to persons, or

damage when using the microwave oven,

follow the precautions on pages 6-7.

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside

the shell.

Steam build-up in whole eggs

may cause them to burst and burn you, and

possibly damage the oven. Slice hard-boiled

eggs before heating. In rare instances,

poached eggs have been known to explode.

Cover

poached eggs and

allow

a standing

time of one minute before cutting into them.

Stir before heating

For best results, stir any liquid several

times before heating or reheating.

Liquids

heated in certain containers (especially

cylindrical containers) may become over-

heated. The liquid may splash out with a

loud noise during or after heating or when

adding ingredients (coffee, etc.) resulting in

harm to the oven and possible personal

injury.

Never

lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open. Injury

could result.

Use hot pads.

Microwave energy does not

heat containers, but the hot food does.

Do not overcook potatoes.

Fire could

result. At the end of the recommended

cooking time, potatoes shouM be slightly

firm because they will continue cooking

during standing time.

After microwaving,

wrap

potatoes in foil

and set aside

for

5 minutes. They will finish cooking while

standing.

6

Do not

start a microwave oven when it is

empty. Product life may be shortened.

If you practice programming the oven,

put

a container of water in the oven.

Do not

use newspaper or other printed

paper in the oven. Fire could result.

Do not

dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood,

paper, gourds or clothes in the oven. Fire

could result.

Do not

try to melt paraffin wax in the oven.

Paraffin wax will not melt in

a

microwave

oven because it allows microwaves to

pass through it.

Do not

operate in the microwave mode

unless the ceramic glass turntable is se-

curely in place and can rotate freely. The

turntable can rotate in either direction.

Make sure

the turntable is correct-side

up in oven.

Carefully place

cookware on

turntable to avoid possible breakage.

Handle turntable with care

when remov-

ing from oven to avoid possible breakage.

If turntable cracks or breaks, contact your

Whirlpool dealer for a replacement.

When you use a browning dish, the

browning dish bottom must be at least

% inch above the turntable. Follow direc-

tions supplied with browning dish.

General information

Fuse box

If your electric power line or outlet

voltage

is less than 110 volts, cooking

times may be longer. Have a qualified

electriiian check your electrical system.

Installation Instructions

Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.

Installing your microwave oven

1. Empty

the microwave oven and

clean

inside it with a soft, damp cloth.

Check

for

damage such as misaligned door, dam-

age around the door, or dents inside the

oven or on the exterior. If there is any

damage, do not operate the unit until it

has been checked by an authorized

Whirlpoor service technician and any

repairs made.

2.

Put

the oven on a cart, counter, table, or

shelf that is strong enough to hold the

oven and the food and utensils you put in

it. (The control slde of the unit is the

heavy side. Use care when handling.)

The weight of the oven is approximately

58 Ibs (26.10 kg). The microwave oven

should be at a temperature above 50°F

(10°C) for proper operation.

Exhaust vents

Fire, Electrical Shock, Excessive Expo-

sure To Microwave Energy, Personal

Injury and Product Damage Hazard

l

Do not block the exhaust vents or rear

air intake openings. Allow a few inches

of space at back of oven where intake

openings are located. Blocking the air

intake openings and exhaust vents can

cause damage to the oven and poor

cooking results. Make sure the micro-

wave oven legs are in place to ensure

proper airflow.

l

Do not install the oven next to or over a

heat source (for example,

a

cooktop or

range) without a UL approved trim kit or

without being in a UL approved built-in

configuration. Also, do not install oven

in any area where excessive heat and

steam are generated. This could cause

a fire, electrical shock, excessive

exposure to microwave energy, other

personal injury or damage to the

outside of the cabinet.

Built-in kits

You can build your microwave-convection

oven into a wall or cabinet by using one of

the trim kits listed on page 15.

These kits are available from your Whirlpool

Dealer. If your dealer does not stock the kii,

it can be ordered, by kit part number, by

writing to:

How microwave cooking works

Microwave ovens are safe.

Microwave

energy is not hot. It causes food to make its

own heat, and it’s this heat that cooks the

food.

Microwaves are like TV waves or light

waves. You cannot see them, but you can

see what they do.

Magnetron

Oven

cavity

A magnetron

in the microwave oven

produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the oven where they contact food

as it turns on the turntable.

10

Glass turntable

Met

ai

floor

The ceramic glass turntable

of your

microwave oven lets microwaves pass

through. Then they bounce off a metal floor,

back through the ceramic glass turntable,

and are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves

may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center from

the outer, cooked areas just as in conven-

tional cooking. This is one of the reasons for

letting some foods (for example, roasts or

baked potatoes) stand for a while after

cooking, or for stirring some foods during the

cooking time.

The microwaves disturb water molecules

in the food. As the molecules bounce around

bumping into each other, heat is made, like

rubbing your hands together. This is the

heat that does the cooking.

Microwaves

pass through most glass,

paper and plastics without heating them so

food absorbs the energy. Microwaves

bounce off metal pans so food does not

absorb the energy.
