IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Mlcrowave ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and effklent operatlon. However, as with
any appliance, there are special installatkn and safety precautions whkh must be iollowed to
ensure safe and satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the mkrowave oven, follow basic precautions,
including the foiiowlng:
l
Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
l
Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS
TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found
on page 4.
l
This appliance must be grounded. Connect
only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 26.
l
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions found on page 25.
l
Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers-for example, dosed glass
jars-may explode and should not be heated in
this oven.
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,
cook, or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
l
As with any appliance, dose supervision is
necessary when used by children.
l
Do not operate this appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped. Electrical shock, fire or other
hazards may resutt.
l
This appliance should be serviced only by
qualified service personnel. Call an authorized
Whirlpoola service company for examination,
repair or adjustment.
l
Do not cover or block any opening on the

like.
. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
Electrical shock may resutt.
l
Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
Electrical shock may result.
* Do not let cord hang over edge of table or
counter. Electrical shock may result.
l
See door surface and interior cleaning instructions on page 27.
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 can char or burn, and
some plastics can mett if used when heating
foods.
-Do not deep fry in oven.
-Test dlnnerware or cookware before using.
See page 32. Some dishes (melamine,
Centura@, etc.) absorb microwave energy,
becoming too hot to handle and slowing
cooking times. Remove wire twist-ties from
paper or plastic bags before placing bag in
oven. 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.)
- tf materials inside the oven should ignite, keep
oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the

-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
Read and follow ‘Operating Safety Precautions”
starting on page 29.
l 1.

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 ii care is exercised in their use.
3. lf a long cord or extension cord is used, (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, and (c) the longer cord should be
arranged so that il will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over accidentally.

There are three parts in the control section:
-Display/Clock and Indicators
-Command Pads
-Number Pads
Instructions for each control are covered on the
following pages. Read them carefully.
When you first plug in the oven, a tone will
sound and the Display will show ‘12:Oooo”. The
dock will begin to run. The Display shows the
time in hours, minutes and seconds. Set the clock
to the correct time of day (page 11). lf your
electriciiy goes off for a while and comes back
on, the clock will return to ‘12:OV and begin to
run. Reset the dock.
Display/clock
When you are not using the microwave oven, this
is an accurate clock.
When you are using the microwave oven, it
displays time settings, cook power settings,

Touch Command Pads to tell the microwave
oven what to do and in what order. A few
examples:
- CLOCK SET tells the oven you are going to
set the clock
- START tells the oven to start. (See page 11

Audible signals
Audible signals are available to guide you when
setting and using your oven. A programming tone
will sound each time you touch a pad. Two tones
will sound between cydes. Three tones signal the
end of a Cook or Defrost cycle. ff you do not hear
a tone, it is because of incorrectly entered
instructions.
Setting the clock
When the oven is first plugged in, a tone sounds
and the Display shows ‘12:Oooo”. lf the electric
power ever goes off, the Display will again show
‘12:oo” when the power comes back on.

Cooking in your microwave oven
Although a new rating method* rates these ovens
at 750 watts, you may use a reliable cookbook
with recipes developed for GO-watt microwave
ovens.
Important thlngs to remember to get the best
cooklng results:
l
ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recom-
mended cooking time. lf necessary, add time in
one or two minute periods, then check for
doneness to avoid overcooking the food.
l
Stir, turn over or rearrange the food being
cooked about halfway through the a>oking time
for most even doneness with all recipes.
l
ff 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.
l
ALWAYS cook food with glass tray in place.
