Microwave Cooking Principles; Grounding Instructions; Before You Call For Service - Whirlpool MWX 201BL Owner's Manual

MICROWAVE COOKING PRINCIPLES

1. Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas
towards outside of dish.
2. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest
amount of time indicated and add more as
needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or
ignite.
3. Cover foods while cooking. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
This appliance must be grounded. This oven is
equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be provided.
Using a high voltage is dangerous and may result in a
fire or other accident causing oven damage.
WARNING Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock.

BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE

If the oven fails to operate:
1. Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds, and plug it in again
securely.
2. Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped main
circuit breaker. If these seem to be operating
properly, test the outlet with another appliance.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

4. Turn foods over once during microwave cooking
to speed cooking of foods such as chicken and
hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be
turned over at least once.
5. Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway
through cooking both from top to bottom and
from the center of the dish to the outside.
Note:
1. If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions,
electrician or service person.
2. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer can
accept any liability for damage to the oven or
personal injury resulting from failure to observe
the electrical connection procedures.
The wires in this cable main are colored in accordance
with the following code:
Green and Yellow = EARTH
Blue = NEUTRAL
Brown = LIVE
3. Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
4. Check to ensure that the door is securely closed
engaging the door safety lock system. Otherwise,
the microwave energy will not flow into the
oven.
