Safety

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Microwave ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as

with any appliance, there are special installation and safety precautions which must be

followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electrical shock, injury to

persons, exposure to excessive microwave energy, or dam-

age when using the microwave oven, follow basic precau-

tions, including the following:

*Read all instructions before using the

microwave oven.

*Read and follow the specifii ‘PRECAU-

TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPO-

SURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE

ENERGY” found on page 5.

l

This appliance must be grounded.

Connect only to properly grounded

outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUC-

TIONS” found in the Installation Instruc-

tions.

l Install or locate this appliance only in

accordance with the provided Installa-

tion Instructions.

*Some products such as whole eggs in

the shell and sealed containers - for

example, closed glass jars - could

explode and should not be heated in

this oven.

.Do not heat, store, or use flammable

materials in or near the oven. Fumes

could create a fire hazard or explosion.

l Use this appliance only for its intended

use as described in this manual. Do not

use corrosive chemicals or vapors in

this appliance. This type of oven is

specifically designed to heat or cook

food. It is not designed for industrial or

laboratory use.

*As with any appliance, close supetvi-

sion is necessary when used by

children.

l Do not operate this appliance if it is not

working properly, or if it has been

damaged. Electrical shock, fire, or other

hazards could resutt.

l This appliance should be serviced only by

qualified service personnel. Call an

authorized Whirlpool service company for

examination, repair, or adjustment.

l Do not cover or block any opening on the

appliance. Fire could result.

l Do not store this appliance outdoors. Do

not use this product near water - for

example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet

basement, or near a swimming pool, and

the like.

l Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

l Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

l Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

counter.

l This appliance is suitable for use above

both gas and electric cooking equipment

36 inches or less wide.

l See door surface and interior cleaning

instructions on page 44.

l To reduce the risk of fire in the oven

cavity:

-Do not overcook food. Carefully attend

appliance if paper, plastic, or other

combustible materials are placed inside

the oven to facilitate cooking. Paper

could char or burn, and some plastics

could melt if used when heating foods.

-Do not deep fry in oven. Microwavable

utensils are not suitable and it is difficult

to maintain appropriate deep frying

temperatures.

continued on next page

3

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven

cavity (continued):

-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 could damage the

oven, as could 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 oven.

-If materials inside the oven shoukl

ignite, keep oven door closed, turn

oven off, and disconnect the power

cord or shut off power at the fuse or

circuit breaker panel.

-Do not use the cavity for storage

purposes. Do not leave paper products,

cooking utensils, or food in the cavity

when not in use.

l

Because of the automatic exhaust fan

feature, the following cautions must be

observed:

- Do not leave the area when using your

cooktop at a high setting. Accidental

fires from boilovers or spattering on the

surface unit could spread, especially if

the exhaust fan is operating.

- Do not allow grease and soil to build up

in the grease filter. Exhaust fan effi-

ciency will decrease and fire could

resuft. Clean often following the filter

cleaning instructions on page 45.

- Do not change the cooktop or oven

lights without turning the power off at

the main power supply (see pages 46

and 47). Electrical shock could result.

- Do not flame foods on a cooktop

surface below this unit. The fan, if

operating, could spread the flame and

cause personal injury or property

damage.

l

Use care when cleaning the vent hood

filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as

lye-based oven cleaners, could damage

filter.

l

Read and follow “Operating safety

precautions” starting on page 6.

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 appliance, (b) the

extension cord must be a grounding-

type, 3-wire cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle

that will accept the plug on the appli-

ance, and (c) the longer cord should be

arranged so that it will not drape over

the countertop or tabletop where it can

be pulled on by children or tripped over

accidentally.

4. A qualiii electrictin must install a

property grounded and polarized

3-prong receptacle near the appliance.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID

POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY...

Do

not

attempt to operate this oven with

the door open since open-door operation

can result in harmful exposure to micro-

wave energy. It is important not to defeat

or tamper with the safety interlocks.

Do not place

any object between the oven

front face and the door or allow soil or

cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing

surfaces.

Do not

operate the oven if it is damaged. lt

is particularly important that the oven door

close properly and that there is no damage

to the:

(1) Door (bwt),

(2) Hinges and latches (broken or

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not

operate the microwave oven if the

door window is broken.

The microwave oven shoukf be checked

for microwave leakage by qualified service

personnel after a repair is made.

The oven should not be adjusted or

repaired by anyone except properly

qualified service personnel.

Do not

operate the microwave oven with

the outer cabinet removed.

5

Operating safety precautions

To reduce the risk of bums, fire,

electrical 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 inslde

the shell.

Steam buildup in whole eggs may

cause them to burst

and

bum 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.

Stlr 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 should 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.

It is normal for the inside of the oven door

to look wavy after the oven has been

running for a while.

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.

General information

Fuse box

If your electrical power line or outlet

voltage

is less than 110 volts, cooking times

may be longer. Have

a

qualified electrician

check your electrical system.

How microwave cooking works

Mkrowave ovens are safe.

Microwave

energy *s 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

A magnetron

in the microwave oven

produces microwaves. The microwaves

move into the area under the oven floor.

There they bounce off the mixing antenna

into the oven where they contact the food.

8

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.

Radio interference

Operation of the microwave oven may cause

interference to your radio, TV, or similar

equipment. When there is interference, it

may be reduced or eliminated by taking the

following measures:

l

Clean door and sealing surfaces of the

oven.

l

Adjust

the receiving antenna of radio or

television.

l Move

the receiver away from the micro-

wave oven.

l

Plug

the microwave oven into a different

outlet so that the microwave oven and

receiver are on different branch circuits.

Microwaves

may not reach the center of a

roast. The heat spreads to the center from

the outer, cooked areas just as in regular

oven 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.

Getting the best cooking results

l

Although a new rating method*

rates this

oven at 850 watts, you may use a reliable

cookfxxk and recipes developed for

microwave ovens previously rated at

700-800

watts.

l

ALWAYS cook

food for the minimum

recommended cooking time. If necessary,

touch ADD MINUTE while the oven is

operating or after it has completed the

cooking cycle (see page 42 for more

information). Then check for doneness to

avoid overcooking the food.

l

Stir, turn over, or rearrange

food being

cooked about halfway through the cook

time for most even doneness with all

recipes.

l

If a glass cover is not available, use wax

paper, paper towels, or microwave-

approved plastic wrap.

Turn back

a corner

to vent steam during cooking.
