SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Use of Microwave Upper Oven

Microwave ovens have been used successfully in homes for a number of years. They are 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.

1.

Read all instructions before using appliance.

2. Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE EN-

ERGY” found on page 4.

3. This appliance must be installed and properly grounded in accordance with the separately provided In- stallation Instructions.

4. Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers - for example, closed glass jars - may explode and should not be heated in this oven.

5. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

6. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.

7. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

Electric shock, fire or other hazards may result.

8. This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call a

Whirlpool authorized TECH-

CARE@ Service Company for examination, repair or adjustment.

9. Do not cover or block any opening in the appliance, because fire may result.

10.

Do not use outdoors because damage to the oven or electric shock may result.

11.

See door surface cleaning instructions on page 37. continued on next page.

12. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. Do not overcook food.

Carefully attend appliance if paper, plastic, or other com- bustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. Paper can char or burn, and some plastics can melt if used when heating foods. b. Test dinnerware or cook- ware before using. See page

40. Some dishes (melamine,

Centura? etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven. Cooking in metal containers can damage the oven.

So can containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, sta- ples, metallic glaze or trim.) c. If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker c baneI.

13. Read and follow “OPERAT-

ING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” starting on page 39.

Cooking in Your Microwave Oven

Be sure to read the MICRO MENUS Cookbook packed with the microwave oven It contains information about: l l l l l

What microwave energy is.

9 How food is cooked by microwave energy.

What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness.

Safety tips.

Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven.

Cooking times for different foods.

Important things to remember to get the best cooking results. l l l

ALWAYS cook food for the minimum recommended cooking time. If necessary, add time in one or two minute periods, then check for doneness to avoid overcooking the food.

Stir, turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking time for most even doneness with all recipes

If a glass cover is not available, use wax paper, paper towels or microwave approved plastic wrap. Turn back a corner to vent steam during cooking.

Using AUTO SENSOR

The Auto Sensor Control allows you to cook food in the oven without comput- ing time or power level. All foods give off moisture, aroma and other vapors as they cook When the oven senses the right amount of vapor from the food, it will automatically determine the remaining time and power needed to finish cooking the food. You only need to touch COOK/REHEAT or COOK FROZEN and a number pad (for a food setting), then START. If you like Your food less done than average you may decrease the cooking time by touching the LESS

(Number 1) Pad after selectrng the category [before touching START). If You like Your food more done than average, touch the MORE (Number91 Pad after selecting the category (before touching STARI) to extend the time. You may add ingredients, star, turn or rotate during the timed portion of the Auto

Sensor cycles. However, “Err” WIII show on the Display if the door is opened during the first [automatic) part of either cycle. If this happens, open the door and touch CANCEL To finish cooking, estimate the remaining time and reset the oven using Cook 1 cycle. Do not reset the Auto Sensor. See the Auto

Sensor Chart included with Your oven and the Auto Sensor Guide on the inner door panel for examples of food to cook at each setting.

Hints for Using the Temperature Probe l l l l l

DO... use hot pads when removing probe from food or food from oven. stir foods during cooking when recommended. stir soups, casseroles and drinks before serving. cover roasts with foil and let stand a few minutes after cooking. Remove foil if you decide to cook it longer. remove the probe from the oven when not cooking by temperature. l l l l l l

DON’T... let probe or probe cable touch any part of the oven interior. let probe touch foil (if used). Foil can be kept away from probe with wooden toothpicks. Remove foil if arcing occurs. use paper, plastic wrap or plastic containers. They will be in the oven too long and might distort. use probe in regular oven. force probe into frozen food. use probe for foods that need to simmer.

28

NOTE: Some foods are started using a timed (COOK) cycle and finished by using the temperature (PROBE TEMP) cycle. You can set PROBE TEMP to follow COOK 1 or COOK 2 to avoid the need to reset the oven halfway through the cycle. PROBE TEMP can be programmed with the Temperature

Probe out. The oven will pause between COOK 1 or COOK 2 and PROBE

TEMP. “PROB” will show on the Display to remind you to plug in the probe.

Changing the Temperature Setting l

When using the Temperature Probe, PROBE TEMP settings can be changed before or during operation:

-Touch PROBE TEMl?

-Touch number for new temperature.

The oven will continue cooking to the new temperature.

If the new temperature is lower than the temperature of the food, the oven will shut off.

Caring for your microwave oven

Cleaning the Microwave Oven

Wipe often with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.

For stubborn soil, boil a cup of water in the oven for 2 or 3 minutes.

Steam will soften the soil.

CAUTION: Abraslve cleansers, steel wool pads, gritty wash cloths, etc., can damage the control panel, and the lnterlor and exterlor oven surfaces. Use a soft cloth or a sponge with a mild detergent or spray glass cleaner.

-

Be sure to clean the areas where the door and oven frame touch when closed. When cleaning surfaces of door and oven that come together on closing the door, use only mild, non-abrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse well.

Replacing the Light Bulb

The microwave oven light should come on whenever the door is opened or the oven is operating.

To replace:

Light Bulb Mode Mixer Cover

2. Open the oven door.

3. Remove the 3 screws from the front of the cover.

4. Pull down the front portion of the cover. (It is creased across its width to form a hinge.)

5. Remove and replace the 25- watt candelabra-base bulb

How your microwave oven works

Microwave ovens are safe. Microwave energy is not hot. make its own heat, and its this heat that cooks the food.

It causes food to

Magnetron Mode Mixer Ceramic Bottom

Oven Cavitv

Microwaves are like TV A magnetron in the waves or light waves. microwave oven pro-

You can’t see them, but duces microwaves. you can see what The microwaves they do. move into the oven where they are scat- tered or stirred by a mode mixer (like a fan). Microwaves bounce off metal oven walls and are absorbed by food.

Metdl Floor

The ceramic bottom of your microwave oven lets microwaves through. Then they bounce off a metal floor, back through the ceramic bottom and are absorbed by the food.

\\

‘I z.

Microwaves pass through glass, paper and plastic without heating them so food absorbs the energy

Microwaves bounce off metal pans so food does not absorb the energy.

Microwaves may not reach the center of a roast. The heat around the outside is what cooks the roast all the way through. This is one of the reasons for letting some foods

(roasts, baked potatoes] stand for a while after cooking, or for stirring some foods during the cooking time.

~

The microwaves dis- turb 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 cooks.

38

Operating safety precautions

NEVER COOK OR

REHEAT A WHOLE

EGG. Steam build-up in whole eggs may cause them to burst and burn you, and possibly damage the oven. Slice hard boiled eggs before heating. In rare instances, poached eggs have been known to explode.

Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time of one minute before cutting into them.

Liquids heated in certain containers (especially cylindrical-shaped containers] may become overheated. The liquid may splash out with a loud noise during or after heating or when adding ingredients

(coffee, etc.) resulting in harm to the oven and possible personal injury.

For best results stir any liquid several times before heating or reheating.

NEVER lean on the door or allow a child to swing on it when the door is open.

Injury could result.

USE HOT PADS.

Microwave energy does not heat containers, but the hot food does.

DO NOT

heat, store or use flammable, inflam- mable or corrosive materials in or near the oven.

DO NOT can foods in the oven. Closed glass jars may explode resulting in damage to the oven or possible personal injury

DO NOT use the oven to sterilize objects (baby bottles, etc.). It is difficult to maintain the high temperature required for safe sterilization.

CAUTION: DO NOT use the oven until you have read and understand

ALL precautions to prevent damage to the oven.

DO NOT use the oven for storage. Do not leave paper products, books or cooking utensils in the oven when not in use. Fire may result if someone accidentally starts the oven.

Don’t let anything touch the top of the oven.

DO NOT OVERCOOK

POTATOES. Fire could result. At the end of the recommended cooking time they should be slightly firm.

Wrap in foil and set aside for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing. l l

If a fire should start in the oven cavity: keep door closed turn oven off l disconnect the power supply at the cord, fuse box or circuit breaker.

DO NOT pop popcorn, except in a microwave- approved popcorn popper or commercial package designed especially for microwave ovens. Results are the manufacturers responsibility.

NEVER try to pop corn in a paper bag. Over- cooking may result in smoke and fire.

Starting a microwave oven when it’s empty is not recommended.

If you experiment, put a container of water in the oven.

DO NOT use news- paper or other printed paper in the oven. Fire could result.

DO NOT dry flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, paper, gourds or clothes in the oven. Fire or other hazards may result.

General

Are you allowing for more time when cooking more food at one time? l l l

If the Display shows a time counting down but the oven is not cooking:

Is the Minute Timer in use?

Is the oven door closed completely?

Is the oven in standing time and

COOK CYCLE 1 (See page 23.) l l

If you do not hear a programmlng tone (page 8):

Is the command correct?

Has the tone been cancelled? l

If the fan seems to be running slower than usual:

Has the oven been stored in a cold area? The fan will run slower until the oven warms up to normal room temperature.

If there has been a power interrup- tlon, the Display will show 88:88.

Reset the Clock (page 9). l l l l l l l

If the mlcrowave oven turns off too soon or not soon enough when using the Temperature Probe:

Is at least YJ of the probe in the food?

Is the probe tip in the center of the food?

Is the probe touching bone or fat?

Have you allowed roasts to stand for a few minutes after cooking?

Is the probe plugged tightly into its socket?

Is Cook Power set correctly?
