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 thai
the oven door close
properly and that there is
no damage to the
[I) Door [bent),
(2) Hinges and latches
(broken or loosened],
(3) Door seals and sealing
surfaces.

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.
WARNING -- To reduce the risk of burns,
electric ShocK. fire, injury to persons or ex-
posure to excessive microwave energy.
1. Rea,; all Ir)structlons before using
appliarce
2. Reaa and follow the specific “PRECAU-
TIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” found
on page 3
3. This appliance must be grounded. Con-
nect only to properly grounded outlet. See
“GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 26.
4. Install or locate this appliance only In
accordance wrth the provided “IN-
STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 25.
5. Some products such as whole eggs and
sealed containers - for example, closed
glass jars - may explode and should not
be heated in this oven.
6. Use this appliance only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
7. As wtth any appliance, close supervi-
sion is necessary when used by children.
8. 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 haz-
ards may result.
9. This appliance should be serviced only
by qualified service personnel. Call a
Whirlpool authorized TECH-CARE’ Service
Company for examination, repair or
adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any opening on
the appliance, for fire may result.
11. Do not use outdoors for damage to the
oven or electric shock may result.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water
for electric shock may result.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces

on page28.
16. To reduce the risk of fire or 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. Testdinnerware or cookware before
using. See page 24. Some dishes (mela-
mine, Centura,” etc.) absorb microwave en-
ergy, 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, staples, 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 panel.
17. Read and follow “OPERATING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS” starting on page 23.

Standing time or cooking automatically after defrosting
For best results, allow the food to stand for a while after defrosting. This
helps equalize the temperature of the food to provide more even defrosting.
When COOK 1follows QUICK DEFROST,the oven automatically provides a standing
time equal to the time touched in for QUICK DEFROST.COOK 1will begin afterthe

About the “QUICK DEFROST” Cycle
The microwave oven automatically divides the time set for the QUICK DEFROST
Cycle into three equal parts:
-First part 80% of full Cook Power;
-Second part 50% of full Cook Power;
-Third part 20% of full Cook Power;
This automatic step-down in Cook Power helps defrost food quickly and
completely.
Changing or adding defrost time
You can change the defrosting time any time before or after touching START.
-Touch QUICK DEFROST.
-Touch numbers for new time.
- Touch START.
Any new time setting made while QUICK DEFROST is operating will continue
the defrosting at only 20% of full power.
The best time to change the setting is near the end of the QUICK DEFROST Cycle.
- Open the door
- Check the food with long-tined fork, if center area IShard frozen, set additional
time. Remember that standing time is necessary to cbmplete the
defrosting.
- Close the door and touch STARTto continue the cycle II no additional time IS
needed.

You can program the cooking cycles in any order. However, when the
microwave oven is started, it will automatically go through the cycles in
order-COOK l-COOK2 (orQUlCKDEFROST-HOLD-COOK I-COOK2.)
If you want the oven to stop between cycles so that you can check food,
add ingredients or additional food items, stir, turn, etc., open the door. The
oven will continue cooking where it left off when the door is closed.
