ENERGY
•
Do not attempt to operate this microwave oven with
the drawer open since open-drawer operation can
result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is
important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
•
Do not place any object between the microwave
oven front face and the drawer or allow soil or
cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
•
Do not operate the microwave oven if it is damaged.
It is particularly important that the oven drawer close
properly and that there is no damage to the: drawer
(bent), drawer guides and latches (broken or loose),
drawer seals and sealing surfaces.

The microwave oven should not be adjusted or
repaired by anyone except properly qualified service
personnel.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Refer to the installation guide provided with the drawer
microwave oven for electrical requirements.

wolfappliance.com
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN:
•
Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
•
Remove wire twist ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in oven.
•
If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven drawer
closed, turn oven off and disconnect the power cord,
or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
•
Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the
cavity when not in use.
LIQUIDS
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
•
Do not overheat the liquid.
•
Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
•
Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
•
After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven at least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
•
Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.

Safety Instructions and Precautions 6
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY
•
Always use pot holders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
•
Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the
face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a
dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven
cooking bags away from the face.
•
Stay near the microwave oven while it is in use and
check cooking progress frequently so that there is
no chance of overcooking food.
•
Never use the oven cavity for storing cookbooks or
other items.
•
Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer
guides when the appliance is opened or closed.
They could be caught in the guides when the appliance is closed.
•
Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to
prevent boilovers.
•
Be sure that the food and container are shorter than
the drawer before closing it. You can refer to the
height of the side walls of the drawer.
•
When using the microwave oven at power levels
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to
be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
•
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
•
Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can
cause arcing and fires. Refer to page 24.
•
Use care when removing items from the oven so that
the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.
•
Keep aluminum foil, used for shielding, at least 1"
(25)
away from any interior surface of the microwave
oven. Refer to page 23.
•
Always have food in the microwave oven when it is
on to absorb the microwave energy.
•
If the oven light fails, consult Wolf factory certified
service.
•
Condensation is a normal part of microwave
cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food
will influence the amount of moisture that condenses
in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause
as much condensation as uncovered ones.
•
The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It
should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
•
Your microwave oven is rated 950 watts by using the
IEC test procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, check food a minute or two before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
•
When opening or closing the drawer microwave
quickly, food in the drawer microwave may be
spilled. To clean, refer to cleaning and care on
page 24.
Safety Instructions and Precautions 7

FOOD
•
Check foods to see that they are cooked to USDA
recommended temperatures.
160°F
(70°C)
—Fresh pork, ground meat, boneless
white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen
prepared food.
165°F
(75°C)

and deli and carry-out fresh food.
170°F
(75°C)
—White meat of poultry.
180°F
(80°C)
—Dark meat of poultry.
•
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never
leave the thermometer in the food during cooking,
unless it is approved for microwave oven use.
•
Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
explosion. Do not cook eggs in shells or reheat
whole eggs.
•
Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs
and sausages so that steam escapes.
•
Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave
oven. Listen while popping corn for the popping to
slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use the special POPCORN
touch pad. Do not exceed the maximum time on
popcorn package.
•
Do not heat baby food in original jars. Transfer baby
food to a small dish and heat carefully, stirring often.
Check temperature before serving.
•
Do not heat bottles with nipples on. Put nipples on
bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. Wrist-test
before feeding. Do not heat disposable bottles.
After heating baked goods with fillings, pierce
•
outside of food to release steam and avoid burns.
•
Do not heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight
containers.
•
Do not preserve foods by canning using the
microwave oven, as harmful bacteria may not be
destroyed.
CHILDREN
•
Children below the age of seven should use the
microwave oven with a supervising person very
near to them. Children ages 7–12 should have a
supervising person in the same room.
•
The child must be able to reach the microwave oven
comfortably; if not, they should stand on a sturdy
stool.
•
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean on the
oven drawer.
•
Children should be taught all safety precautions: use
pot holders, remove coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.
•
Do not assume that because a child has mastered
one cooking skill they can cook everything.
•
Children need to learn that the microwave oven is
not a toy. Refer to page 9 for the control lock feature.
