or tamper with the safety interlocks.
Do not place any object between the
microwave oven front face and the
door or allow soil or cleaner residue
to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
Do not operate the microwave oven
if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage
to the: door (bent), hinges and
latches (broken or loosened) or door
seals and sealing surfaces.
The microwave oven should not be
adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualified service
personnel.
Read all instructions before using
this appliance to reduce the risk
of burns, electric shock, fire,
injury to persons or exposure to
excessive microwave energy.

Read and follow the specific
“PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCES-
SIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY” on
page 3.
This appliance must be grounded.

LIQUIDS
Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea
are able to be overheated beyond the
boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling
when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always
present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING
OVER WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER
UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury
to persons:
Do not overheat the liquid.
Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
Do not use straight-sided
containers with narrow necks.
Use a wide-mouthed container.
After heating, allow the container
to stand in the microwave oven at
least for 20 seconds before
removing the container.
Use extreme care when inserting
a spoon or other utensil into the
container.
BUILT-IN
If the oven is installed as a built-in,
observe the following instructions:
Do not mount over a sink.
Do not store anything directly on
top of the appliance surface when
the appliance is in operation.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN
THE OVEN CAVITY:
Do not overcook food. Carefully
attend appliance when paper, plastic
or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate
cooking.
Remove wire twist-ties from paper
or plastic bags before placing bag
in oven.
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.
Do not use the cavity for storage
purposes. Do not leave paper
products, cooking utensils or food
in the cavity when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
AND PRECAUTIONS
CHILDREN
Children below the age of 7 should
use the microwave oven with a
supervising person very near to
them. Children between the ages of
7 and 12 should have a supervising
person in the same room.
The child must be able to reach the
oven comfortably; if not, they
should stand on a sturdy stool.
At no time should anyone be
allowed to lean or swing on the
oven door.
Children should be taught all safety
precautions: use potholders, remove
coverings carefully, pay special
attention to packages that crisp food
because they may be extra hot.
Don’t assume that because a child
has mastered one cooking skill they
can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the
microwave oven is not a toy. See
page 18 for Child Lock feature.
FOOD
Puncture egg yolks before cooking
to prevent “explosion”. Don’t cook
eggs in shells.
Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,
squash, hot dogs and sausages so
that steam escapes.
Use specially bagged popcorn for
the microwave oven. Listen while
popping corn for the popping to
slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special
Popcorn pad.
Check foods to see that they
are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture’s
recommended temperatures.
To test for doneness, insert a meat
thermometer in a thick or dense area
away from fat or bone. Never leave
the thermometer in the food during
cooking, unless it is approved for
microwave oven use.
Don’t heat baby food in original jars.
Transfer baby food to a small dish
and heat carefully, stirring often.
Check temperature before serving.
Don’t heat bottles with nipples on.
Put nipples on bottles after heating
and shake thoroughly. “Wrist”
test before feeding. Don’t heat
disposable bottles.
After heating baked goods with
fillings, pierce outside of food to
release steam and avoid burns.
Don’t heat or cook in closed glass
jars or air tight containers.
Don’t preserve foods by canning
using the microwave oven, as
harmful bacteria may not be
destroyed.

GENERAL SAFETY
ALWAYS use potholders to prevent
burns when handling utensils that
are in contact with hot food. Enough
heat from the food can transfer
through utensils to cause skin burns.
Avoid steam burns by directing
steam away from the face and
hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge
of a dish’s covering and carefully
open popcorn and oven cooking
bags away from the face.
Stay near the oven while it’s in use
and check cooking progress
frequently so that there is no chance
of overcooking food.
NEVER use the cavity for storing
cookbooks or other items.
Select, store and handle food
carefully to preserve its high quality
and minimize the spread of
foodborne bacteria.
Keep waveguide cover clean. Food
residue can cause arcing and fires.
Use care when removing items from
the oven so that the utensil, your
clothes or accessories do not touch
the safety door latches.
If the oven light fails, consult a
Wolf Authorized service center.
NEVER use the oven without the
turntable and support nor turn the
turntable over so that a large dish
could be placed in the oven. The
turntable will turn both clockwise
and counterclockwise.
ALWAYS have food in the oven
when it is on to absorb the
microwave energy.
When using the oven at power
levels below 100%, you may hear
the magnetron cycling on and off. It
is normal for the exterior of the oven
to be warm to the touch when
cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of
microwave cooking. Room humidity
and the moisture in food will influ-
ence the amount of moisture that
condenses in the oven. Generally,
covered foods will not cause as
much condensation as uncovered
ones. Vents on the oven back must
not be blocked.
The oven is for food preparation
only. It should not be used to dry
clothes or newspapers.
Your oven is rated 1200 watts by
using the IEC Test Procedure. In
using recipes or package directions,
check food a minute or two before
the minimum time and add time
accordingly.

UNPACKING YOUR MICROWAVE
Remove all packing materials from inside
the oven cavity; however, Do not remove
the waveguide cover,
which is located on
the right cavity wall, see illustration below.
Read enclosures and save this Use and
Care Information for future reference.
Remove the feature sticker (if there is one),
from the outside of the door.
Check the oven for any damage, such as
misaligned or bent door, damaged door
seals and sealing surfaces, broken or loose
door hinges and latches and dents inside
the cavity or on the door. If there is any
damage, do not operate the oven and
contact your dealer or Wolf authorized
service center.
WOLF MICROWAVE OVEN INSTALLATION
CHOOSING A LOCATION
FREE-STANDING
You will use the oven frequently so plan its
location for ease of use. It’s wise, if possible,
to have counter space on at least one side of
the oven. Allow at least two inches on the
sides, top and at the rear of the oven for air
circulation.
BUILT-IN
Your microwave oven can be built into a
cabinet or wall by itself or above a Wolf 30"
(762) wall oven. Refer to the installation
instructions in both the wall oven and Wolf’s
Microwave Trim Kit. The trim kit includes finish
trim strips, ducts, installation instructions and
information on the location of the power
supply. To request the trim kit, contact your
dealer. Be sure to check the local building
code, as it may require the opening be
enclosed with sides, ceiling and rear partition.
The proper functioning of the oven does not
require the enclosure.
