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.
l
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.
l
Do not heat, store, or use flammable
materials in or near the oven. Fumes
could create a fire hazard or explosion.
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.
- 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.
l
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
5
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,
I
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.

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.
