Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read
the following instructions.
Installing your microwave oven
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it
with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage such
as misaligned door, damage around the door or
dents inside the oven or on the exterior. If there
is any damage, do not operate the unit until it has
been checked by an authorized WhirlpoolSM
service technician and any repairs made.
2. Put the oven on a can, counter, table or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the oven and the
food and utensils you put in it. (The control side
of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when
handling.) The weight of the oven is approxi-
mately 47 Ibs (21 .15 kg). The microwave oven
should be at a temperature above 50°F (10°C)
for proper operation.
Fire, Electrical Shock, Excessive Exposure
To Microwave Energy, Personal Injury and
Product Damage Hazard
l
Do not block the rear air intake openings or
exhaust vents. Allow a few inches of space
at back of oven where intake openings and
exhaust vents are located. Blocking the air
intake openings and exhaust vents can
cause damage to the oven and poor cooking
results. Make sure the microwave oven legs
are in place to ensure proper airflow.
l
Do not install the oven next to or over a heat
source (for example, a cooktop or range)
without a UL-approved trim kit or without
being in a U.L.-approved built-in configura-
tion. Also, do not install oven in any area
where excessive heat and steam are
generated. This could cause a fire, electrical
shock, excessive exposure to microwave
energy, other personal injury or damage to
the outside of the cabinet.
