PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY...

(a) 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 or tamper with the safety interlocks.

(b) Do not place any object between the

oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

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.

(d) The oven should not be adjusted or

repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

Installation Instructions

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

1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such as a door that isn’t lined up correctly, damage around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, do not operate the oven until an authorized Whirlpool service technician has checked it and made any needed repairs.

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 side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when handling the oven.) The weight of the oven

is about 40 Ibs (18kg). The microwave

oven should be at a temperature above

50°F (10%) for proper operation.

Fire Hazard

Do not install the oven next to or over a heat source.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or rear air intake openings. Allow a few inches of space at the back of the oven where the

intake openings are located. Blocking the air intake openings and exhaust vents could

cause damage to the oven and poor cooking

results. Make sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure proper airflow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven off. The oven will not work until it has cooled enough.

Electrical requirements

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp fused electrical supply is required. (A time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided.

Electrical Shock Hazard Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions

can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,

grounding reduces the risk of electric shock

by providing an escape wire for the electric

current. The microwave oven is equipped

with a cord having a grounding wire with a

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged

into an outlet that is properly installed

and grounded.

WARNING:

grounding can result in a risk of

electric shock.

Consult a qualified electrician or service-

man if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly

grounded.

Improper use of the

Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven.

For a permanently connected appliance: This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-

ment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.

Getting to Know Your

Microwave Oven

This section discusses the concepts behind microwave cooking. It also shows you the basics you need to know to operate your microwave oven. Please read this information before you

use your oven.

Explosion Hazard

Do not store flammable materials such as gasoline near the microwave oven.

Doing so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

How your microwave oven 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.

A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves. The microwaves move into the oven where they contact food as it turns on the turntable.

Magnetron

Oven cavity

The glass turntable of your microwave oven lets microwaves pass through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the glass turntable, and are absorbed by the food.

Microwaves pass through most glass, paper, and plastics without heating them so food absorbs the energy. Microwaves bounce off metal containers so food does not absorb the energy.

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.

Glass turntable

Metal

- floor

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Microwavable cookware is not suitable and it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep frying temperatures.

For the best cooking results

l Always cook food for the shortest cooking

time recommended. Check to see how the food is cooking. If needed, touch the ADD

MINUTE pad while the oven is operating or after the cooking cycle is over (see the “Using ADD MINUTE” section).

l Stir, turn over, or rearrange the food

being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for all recipes. This will help make sure the food is evenly cooked.

l If you do not have a cover for a dish, use

wax paper, or microwave-approved paper towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn

back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent

steam during cooking.

Radio interference

Using your microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV, or similar equipment. When there is interference, you can reduce it or remove it by:

l Cleaning the door and sealing surfaces

of the oven.

l Adjusting the receiving antenna of the

radio or television.

l Moving the receiver away from the

microwave oven.

l Plugging the microwave oven into a

different outlet so that the microwave oven and receiver are on different branch circuits.

Testing your microwave oven

To test the oven put about 1 cup of cold

water in a glass container in the oven. Close the door.

Make sure it latches. Follow

the directions in the “Cooking

cl to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.

at high cook power” section

Testing your dinnerware or cookware

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).

Operating safety precautions

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 cases, poached

eggs have been known to explode. Cover

poached eggs and allow a standing time of

one minute before cutting into them.

T!iiisk

!I, ’

For best results, stir any liquid several

times before heating or reheating. Liquids

heated in certain containers (especially

containers shaped like cylinders) 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.). This can harm the oven and

possibly injure someone.

Never lean on the door or allow a child to

swing on it when the door is open. Injury

could result.

Stir before heating

Use hot pads. Microwave energy does not heat containers, but heat from the food can make the container hot.

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.

It is normal for 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 operate the microwave oven 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 the oven. Carefully place the cookware on your turntable to avoid possibly breaking it.

Handle your turntable with care when removing it from the oven to avoid possibly breaking it. If your 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 (5mm) above the turntable. Follow the directions supplied with the browning dish.

Electrical connection

If your electric power line or outlet

voltage is less than 110 volts, cookinq times

may be longer. Have a qualified electrician check your electrical system.
