MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat which cooks the food.To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate microwave oven when it is empty.The turntable must be in place and correct side up when microwave oven is in use. Do not use if turntable is chipped or broken. See the “Accessories” section to reorder.Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave oven.Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in the microwave oven.Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it does not absorb microwaves.Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave oven.Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst. Cover poached eggs and allow a standing time.Food CharacteristicsWhen microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition, and density of the food affect cooking results.
Stirring and TurningStirring and turning redistributes heat evenly to avoid overcooking the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible, turn food over from bottom to top.ArrangingIf heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange the thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them in a ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.PiercingBefore heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks, chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places to allow steam to vent.ShieldingUse small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.Standing TimeFood will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat, even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.
Cookware and DinnerwareCookware and dinnerware must fit on the turntable. Always use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the following chart as a guide, then test before using.
MaterialAluminum Foil, Metal
Recommendations See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal” section.
Amount of Food The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.Cooking GuidelinesCovering Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a lid is not available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is normal during heavy cooking.Styrofoam® is a registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company.10

To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.
Aluminum Foil and MetalAlways use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from the microwave oven.Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur and cause damage to the microwave oven.
OK for UseRacks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls, ceiling, or floor.Always use the turntable.To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.Do Not UseMetal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners, such as sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim or a metallic glaze, should not be used in the microwave oven.

TROUBLESHOOTINGFirst try the solutions suggested here. If you need further assistance or more recommendations that may help you avoid a service call, refer to the warranty page in this manual, or visit http://www.whirlpool.com/product_help.Contact us by mail with any questions or concerns at the address below:In the U.S.A.:Whirlpool Brand Home Appliances Customer eXperience Center 553 Benson Road Benton Harbor, MI 49022-2692
Please include a daytime phone number in your correspondence.
If you experienceMicrowave oven will not operate
Recommended SolutionsCheck the following:Household fuse or circuit breaker: If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician.Magnetron: Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service.Door: Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle.Control: Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo mode (on some models) is off.
Arcing in the microwave oven
Check the following:Soil buildup: Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in the “Microwave Oven Care” section.
Turntable alternates rotation directions
This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle.
Display shows messages
“Enter clock” with flashing digits means there has been a power failure. Reset the clock. A letter followed by a number is an error indicator. Call for assistance.
Fan running during cooktop usage
This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan, which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used.
Radio, TV, or cordless Check the following:
phone interference
Proximity: Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna.
Soil: Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean.
Frequency: Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone, or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation.
