Microwave Oven Safety

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains safety statements

under warning symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation

of the use of the symbol.

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

burns, Injury to persons,.exposure to microwave energy, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:

Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.

Read and follow the specific “PRE-

CAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE

EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICRO-

WAVE ENERGY” found on page 6.

*This appliance must be grounded.

Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on page 10.

Install or locate this appliance only in

accordance with the provided Installation

Instructions found on page 9.

*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.

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.

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as fire electrical shock burns

1 and personal injury.

and prevent damage to the unit.

e the risk of 1

.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.

- If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

- 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.

- Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products,

cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use.

- Do not operate any heating or cooking

appliance beneath this appliance.

- Do not mount unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking appliance.

- Do not mount over a sink.

- Do not store anything directly on top of

the appliance when appliance is in

operation.

Read and follow “Operating safety precautions” starting on page 7.

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.

continued on next page

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 appliance,

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 qualified electrician must install a properly grounded and polarized 3-prong receptacle near the appliance.

- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -

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 microwave energy. It is important not to defeat Dr 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. It is particularly important that the oven door close properly and that there is no damage to the:

(1) Door (bent), (2) Hinges and latches (broken or

loosened),

(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces. Do not operate the microwave oven if the

door window is broken.

The microwave oven should 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.

Operating

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, burns, injury to persons, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions on pages 7-8.

Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside the shell. Steam buildup 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.

safety precautions

Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result.

Stlr before heatlng

For best results, stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating. Liquids heated in certain containers (especially cylindrical containers) may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients (coffee granules, tea bags, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury.

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.

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 operate in the microwave mode unless the glass turntable is securely 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 removing 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

%S inch above the turntable. Follow directions supplied with browning dish.

General information

Circuit breaker

or fuse box

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.

If your electric power line or outlet voltage is less than 110 volts, cooking times may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
