A Note to You Thank you for buying a WHIRLPOOL@ appliance. Because your life is getting busier and more complicated, WHIRLPOOL microwave ovens are easy to use, save time, and help you manage your home better. To ensure that you enjoy years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care Guide. It contains valuable information about how to operate and maintain your microwave oven properly and safely. Please read it carefully.
Microwave IMPORTANT Oven Safety SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Microwave ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any appliance, there are special installation and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure safe and satisfactory operation and prevent damage to the unit.
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity (continued): -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.
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. ~ 3.
Operating safety precautions To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, burns, injury to persons, or damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions on pages 6-7. Never lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open. Injury could result. 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.
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 inside of the oven door to look wavy after the oven has been running for a while. 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. General information I Do not use newspaper or other printed paper in the oven. Fire could result.

Caring for Your MicrowaveConvection Hood Combination To make sure your microwave oven looks good and works well for a long time, you should maintain it properly. For proper care, please follow these instructions carefully. Cleaning the microwave oven NOTE: Abrasive cleansers, steel-wool pads, gritty wash cloths, some paper towels, etc., can damage the control panel and the interior and exterior oven surfaces. C3Z;ning l For interior surfaces: Wipe often with warm, sudsy water and a sponge or soft cloth.
Caring for the filters The grease filters should be removed and cleaned often, at least once a month. NOTE: If your microwave hood combination is installed to recirculate air, the charcoal filter (Part No. 4358792) should be replaced every 6-12 months. The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. Rinse well and shake to dry. Do not use ammonia or place in a dishwasher. The aluminum will darken. 4. To replace grease filters, slide filter in the frame slot on one side of the opening.
10. Turn the power back on at the main power supply. 8. Slide a new charcoal filter into place. The filter should rest at the angle shown. 11. Do not operate the hood without the filters in place. 9. Slide the bottom of the vent cover into place. Push the top until it snaps into place. Replace the mounting screws. Replacing the cooktop Fire Hazard Use only candelabra-base bulbs, 30-watt maximum. Turn off power at main power supply before replacing the light bulb.
The oven light 1. Turn off power at the main power supply. 5. Lift up the bulb holder. 6. We recommend replacing the bulb with a candelabra-base 30-watt bulb available from your authorized Whirlpool service company (Part No. 4158432). 7. Replace the bulb holder and mounting screw. 2. Remove the vent cover mounting screws. 3. Tip the cover forward, then lift out to remove. 8. Slide the top of the vent cover into place. Push the bottom until it snaps into place.

Microwave Amount l l of food temperature l Stirring, l Releasing l l l Smaller pieces of food will cook faster than larger pieces and same-shaped pieces of food cook more evenly than irregularly shaped foods. With unevenly shaped foods, the thinner parts will cook faster than the thicker areas. Place the thinner parts of chicken wings and legs in the center of the dish.
Arranging food For best results, distribute food evenly on the plate. You can do this in several ways: l If you are cooking several items of the same food, such as baked potatoes, place them in a ring pattern for uniform cooking. l When cooking foods of uneven shapes or thickness, place the smaller or thinner area of the food towards the center of the dish where it will be heated last. l Arrange uneven foods, such as fish, in the oven with the tails to the center.
Oven utensils guide You can use a variety of utensils and materials in your microwave-convection oven. For your safety and to prevent damage to utensils and your oven, choose appropriate utensils and materials for each cooking method. The list below is a general guide to help you select the correct utensils and materials.
QUESTIONS ANSWERS Can I use a rack in my microwave oven so that I may reheat or cook on two levels at a time? You can use a rack only if rack is supplied with your microwave oven. Use of any rack not supplied with the microwave oven can result in poor cooking performance and/or arcing.
