lnstalla tion Instructions
First: Take everything out of the oven. Wipe out the inside with a damp
cloth.
Second: Put the microwave oven on a counter, cart, table or shelf
which has enough strength to hold it. For ventilation, leave two inches
between the back of the oven and the wall. Do not block the vents on
top. They are needed for air flow and even cooking.
This oven can be built into a wall or cabinet. Kits RCK703 and RCK707
are available from your dealer for recessed installation. It can also be
installed, with those kits, above Whirlpool RDE, REE and RGE series
single ovens, or Hardwick 7200 single gas ovens. Follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The RCK710, RCK711 and RCK713 kits
can be used for surface mounting on a wall. The MICRO SHELF’Hood,
Model RJH 3330, is available for mounting the microwave oven above a
range or cooktop.
Third: For your safety, this oven must be grounded. Its cord has the
3-prong grounding plug. DO NOT CUT THE ROUND GROUNDING
PRONG FROM THE PLUG. If the wall receptacle doesn’t have the right
plug-in, or if the plug-in isn’t grounded according to the National
Electrical Code and local codes or ordinances, you must have a
qualrfied electrician put in the right outlet.
Fourth: The outlet must supply 120 volts, 60 Hz., A.C. The microwave
oven will use about 1450 watts when it is operating, so no other major
household appliance should share the circuit.
Fifth: Fill a glass container with about one cup (250 mL) of cold water
and put it in the oven. Turn the oven on full power for 1 to 1% minutes
(see page 7). When the time is up, the water should be heated.
Sixth: If the microwave oven has been stored in a cool room, the fan
may run slower than usual until the oven warms up to room
temperature.

How a Microwave Oven Works
Microwaves are like radio waves or radar waves. They will pass
through glass, plastic, paper and most other types of containers that
are not metal. Microwaves bounce off metal and are absorbed by food.
ON When food absorbs microwaves, heat is created because water
molecules in the food are disturbed and bounce around colliding with
each other. Heat is created by this bouncing and colliding like when
you warm your hands by rubbing them together.
When all safety systems are secure (door shut completely and the
START button pushed), electric current is allowed to reach the
magnetron tube. The magnetron tube uses electricity to create
microwaves. They pass through a metal tunnel called the waveguide,
past the wavetuner, into the oven cavity.
Just at the point where the microwaves are about to go into the oven
cavity, Whirlpool Microwave Ovens use a mode mixer (a slow-moving
metal fan) to scatter them. If all the microwaves went in the same
direction, they’d all bounce in the same direction, like water from a
hose. Some parts of the food wouldn’t be touched. The mode mixer
works like a sprinkler to spread microwaves all around.

How a Microwave Oven Works (cont’d)
The walls, top and bottom of the oven cavity are metal. Mrcrowaves will
bounce around inside the oven until they are absorbed by food.
The food container rests on a sealed-in shelf above the metal bottom of
the oven cavity. Because the food is above the metal bottom, s
microwaves can get under it, through the shelf, to bounce up from the b
bottom into the food.
The screen in the door is designed to keep microwaves in the oven, yet
allow you to see inside.
There are three safety interlock switches designed to make sure that
the microwave oven will not operate unless the door is closed and g
microwaves are sealed inside. Do not tamper with any of these g
interlock switches.
