Whirlpool MH7115XB Microwave Oven User Manual


 
To reduce the risk of fire in the oven
cavity (continued):
-Test dinnerware or cookware
before
using.
To test a dish for
safe use, put it into the oven with a
cup of water beside it. Cook at
100% Cook Power for one minute.
If the dish gets hot and water
stays cool, do not use it. Some
dishes (melamine, some ceramic
dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave
energy, becoming too hot to handle
and slowing cooking times. Cooking
in metal containers not designed for
microwave use could damage the
oven, as could containers with
hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining,
staples, metallic glaze or trim).
-Remove wire twist-ties from paper
or plastic bags before placing bag
in oven.
-If materials inside the oven shoukl
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.
l
Because of the automatic exhaust fan
feature, the following cautions must be
observed:
- Do not leave the area when using your
cooktop at a high setting. Accidental
fires from boilovers or spattering on the
surface unit could spread, especially if
the exhaust fan is operating.
- Do not allow grease and soil to build up
in the grease filter. Exhaust fan effi-
ciency will decrease and fire could
resuft. Clean often following the filter
cleaning instructions on page 45.
- Do not change the cooktop or oven
lights without turning the power off at
the main power supply (see pages 46
and 47). Electrical shock could result.
- Do not flame foods on a cooktop
surface below this unit. The fan, if
operating, could spread the flame and
cause personal injury or property
damage.
l
Use care when cleaning the vent hood
filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as
lye-based oven cleaners, could damage
filter.
l
Read and follow “Operating safety
precautions” starting on page 6.
