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 han-

dling 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.

GROUNDINGINSTRUCTIONS

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:

Improper use of the

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.

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 con-

ductor 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 Magnetron

produces microwaves. The microwaves I

move into the oven where they contact

food as it turns on the turntable.

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.

NOTE: Do not deep fry in the oven. Micro-

wavable cookware is not suitable and

it is difficult to maintain appropriate deep

frying temperatures.

Glass turntable

Metal

- floor

For the best cooking results

l Always cook food for the shortest cooking l If you do not have a cover for a dish, use

time recommended. Check to see how the wax paper, or microwave-approved paper

food is cooking. If needed, touch the ADD towels or plastic wrap. Remember to turn

MINUTE pad while the oven is operating or back a corner of the plastic wrap to vent

after the cooking cycle is over (see the steam during cooking.

“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.

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.

1 Make sure it latches. Follow

the directions in the “Cooking

at high cook power” section

to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When

the time is up, the water should be heated.
