PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY...
DO NOT
attempt to oper-
ate this oven with the door
open since open-door op-
eration can result in harm-
ful exposure 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
(I) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches
[broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing
surfaces.
DO NOT
operate the
microwave oven if the
door window is broken.
The microwave oven
should be checked for
microwave leakage by
qualified service personnel
after a repair is made.
The oven should not be
adjustea or repaired by
anyone except properly
qualified service
personnel.
DO NOT
operate the
microwave oven with
the outer cabinet removed.
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.
1.
Read all instructions before using
appliance.
2. Read 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 21.
4. Install or locate this appliance only in
accordance with the provided “IN-
STALLATION INSTRUCTIONS” found on
page 20.
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 with 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
for electric shock may result.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table
or counter for electric shock may result.
15.
See door surface cleaning instructions
on page23.
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. Test dinnerware or cookware before
using. See page26. 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 25.

Cooking in your microwave oven
Be sure to read the MICRO MENUS” Cookbook packed with the microwave oven.
It contains information about:
l
What microwave energy is.
l
How food is cooked by microwave energy.
l
What affects cooking speed and cooking evenness.
l
Safety tips.
l
Utensils to use when cooking in a microwave oven.
l
Cooking times for different foods.
Important things to remember to get the best cooking results.
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,
l
Stir,turn or rearrange the food being cooked about halfway through the cooking
time
for most even doneness with all recipes.
l
If a glass cover is not available, use waxpaper, 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 computing 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 AUTO
SENSOR 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 selecting the category (before touching START).If you like your food more done
than average, touch the “MORE” (Number 9) Pad after selecting the category (before
touching START)to extend the time. You may add ingredients, stir, turn or rotate during
the timed portion of the Auto Sensor cycle. However, “Err” will show on the Display if the
door is opened during the first (automatic) part of the Auto Sensor cycle. Ifthis happens,
open the door and touch CANCEL. To finish cooking, estimate the remaining time and
reset the oven using the Cook 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.
DO THIS...
1.
Put food in the oven and
close the door.
2.
Touch AUTO SENSOR
3. Touch a Number Pad (l-9)
for the cooking category
you want. (See guide on
inner door panel and
separate AUTO SENSOR
chart.)
THIS HAPPENS...
The AUTO SENSOR Indicator Light
will come on and the Display will
show ‘AS-“.
The Display will show the AUTO
SENSOR setting you touched.
This example shows you selected
category 2.
4.
Touch START.
*EEPf&pBEEPBEEP
AUTO SENSOR operating hints
The oven automatically cooks
at a pre-set Cook Power for that
setting. The AUTO SENSOR
Indicator Light will stay on to show
that the oven is cooking the food.
Do not open the oven door
during this part of the cycle.
When you hear 2 beeps, the Display
will show and count down the
remaining cooking time. The oven
door can now be opened, if needed
When the cooking time ends, “End”
will show on the Display and 4
beeps will sound. (You can stop the
beeping by opening the door or by
touching CANCEL.) “End” will remain
on the Display and a reminder tone
will sound every 30 seconds until
the door is opened or CANCEL is
touched. The Display will then show
the time of day.
l
All AUTO SENSOR cooking categories have pre-set Cook Powers.
l
The COOK POWER Indicator Light does not come on during AUTO SENSOR.
l
No Cook or Temperature cycles can be used with AUTO SENSOR.
l
Auto Start may be used with AUTO SENSOR.
l
Quick Defrost and Keep Warm may be used with AUTO SENSOR.
l
“AS-#” will show on the Display until the oven calculates and counts down the remain-
ing cooking time, except ‘AS-I” which stops after the first part of the cooking cycle.
l
“Err” will show on the Display if the door is opened during the first part of AUTO SENSOR.
“Err” will also show on the Display if AUTO SENSOR malfunctions. Open the door and
touch CANCEL to clear the Display. Do not reset AUTO SENSOR. The food may over or
undercook. To finish cooking food, estimate the remaining cooking time. Reset the oven
using the COOK cycle and approximate Cook Power setting.
