Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful ex- posure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the oven if it is 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.
The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified personnel.

Installation Instructions
B. Check microwave for damage
Remove all packing material from the oven cavity.
When unpacking the unit, check for damage such as misaligned door, damaged gaskets around the door, or dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there is any damage, please do not operate the unit until it has been checked by an authorized Whirlpool trained ser- vice technician.
C. Electrical requirements
IMPORTANT:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR’S USE
A. This appliance must be connected to the proper electrical voltage and frequency as specified on nameplate. Models rated at 15 KW on 240 volts (11.25
KW on 208V) or more require a separate 50 amp cir- cuit. Models rated less than 15KW on 240 volts (11.25
KW on 208V) require a separate 40 ampere circuit.
Fuse both sides of the line. DO NOT fuse the neutral.
A time delay fuse or circuit breaker is recommended.
Wire sizes must conform to the requirements of the Na- tional Electrical Code and/or local codes and or- dinances for the kilowatt rating of the range. The nameplate is located on the front frame behind the microwave oven door.
NOTE: Wire sizes and connections must conform with the fuse size and rating of the appliance in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and or- dinances. Do not use an extension cord.
B. The appliance should be connected to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) box through flexible ar- mored or non-metallic sheathed cable. The flexible ar- mored cable extending from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box. The junction box should be located as shown in Figure 1 on page 2 so that as much slack as possible remains in the cable between the box and the appliance so that it can be moved if servicing is necessary.
C. A suitable strain relief must be provided to attach the flexible armored cable to the junction box. nao Ray SE dot grease emmeaietaas tp, sae ES nO oe ae EMT PP Pon CE RoE

. Put a nail (6/32” or smaller) or equivalent in the hole in each of the hinges. Close the oven door until the pins touch the oven front. See View B.
. The oven door can now be lifted off.
. Reinstall oven door the same as on non-self clean- ing models. (See page 5)

Pull straight with the angle of part-open door.
Push down evenly.
Removing the oven door: (For installing and cleaning)
Removing the oven door may make it easier to clean the oven. To remove the door, first open it to the first stop (about 4 inches or 10 cm). Take hold of both sides of the door near the top; then lift it at the same angle it is in.
With the door off, you will notice how the ends of hinges slide into slots at the bottom corners of the door. To put the door back on, fit both corners of the door over the ends of the hinges. Push the door down evenly, so neither corner gets ahead of the other. When it reaches the bottom, you can close the door. A safety latch will hold the door open until it is on correctly.

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.
This appliance is equipped with copper lead wires.
If connection is made to aluminum house wiring, use only special connectors which are approved for join- ing copper and aluminum wires in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and or- dinances. This appliance is manufactured with a white neutral power supply wire and a frame connected green ground wire twisted together.
If local codes permit connection of the frame grounding conductor to the neutral (white) wire, con- nect the green and white wire from the supply cable of the appliance together and the neutral (white) wire in the junction box. Connect the remaining wires from the supply cable to the wires in the junction box. See
Figure 3.
If local codes DO NOT permit frame grounding to the neutral, separate the white and green wires that extend out of the end of the supply cable of the appliance. See
Figure 5. Connect the white wire from the supply cable to the neutral wire in the junction box. Connect the black and red wires from the supply cable, to the cor- responding wires in the junction box. The green wire must now be used to ground the appliance in accord- ance with local electrical codes. Connect the green colored copper ground wire to a grounded cold water pipe“ (see Figure 4) or to the grounded lead in the ser- vice panel.
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electric power supply until appliance is permanent- ly grounded. Connect the ground wire before turning on the power. (See Figure 4.)
CAUTION — If connecting to a four-wire electrical system (MOBILE HOME) the appliance frame
MUST NOT be connected to the neutral wire of the four-wire electrical system. Separate the white and green wires that extend out of the supply cable of the appliance. Connect the white, red and black wires from the supply cable to the cor- responding wires in the junction box. Connect the green wire from the supply cable to the ground wire in the junction box. (See Figure 5.)
“Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and should not be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating connec- tors (including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper wire at those connectors.
