Whirlpool M-ME 08XW Microwave Oven User Manual


 
C. CIRCUITS
Observe all governing codes and ordinances. A 120 Volt, 60Hz, AC only, 15 or 20 amp fused
electrical supply is required. (Time-delay fuse is recommended.) It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only this appliance be provided
D. VOLTAGE WARNING
The voltage used at the wall receptacle must be the same as specificed on the oven serial plate
located on the back or on the side of the control panel of the oven. Use of a higher voltage is
dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accidet causing oven damage. Low voltage will
cause slow cooking. In case your microwave oven does not perform normal operations in accor-
dance with AC power source and voltage, remove the power cord and then insert it again.
E. LOCATION OF THE OVEN
Your microwave oven can easily be placed in your kitchen, family room or any other room in your
home. Place the oven on a flat surface such as a kitchen counter top or a specially-designed
microwave oven cart. (The control side of the unit is the heavy side. Use care when handing.)
The weight of the oven is approximately 30.9 Ibs. (14 kg). Do not place oven above a gas or electric
range. Free air flow around the oven is important.
F. DO NOT BLOCK VENTS
All air vents should be kept clear during cooking. If air vents are covered during oven operation,
the oven may overheat. In this case a sensitive thermal safety device automatically turns the oven
off. The oven will be inoperable until it has cooled sufficiently. Make sure the microwave oven legs
are in place to ensure proper air flow.
G. TEST THE OVEN
To test the oven, plug it into the proper electrical outlet. Put about one cup (250mL) of cold water
in a glass container in the oven. Close the door. Make sure it latches. Follow the directions on page
10 to set the oven to cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, the water should be heated.
H. USE OVEN PROPERLY
This microwave oven is designed for use in the household only and must not be used for
commercial purposes.
Do not remove the door, control panel or cabinet at any time. The unit is equipped with high
voltage and should not be serviced unless by an authorized service technician.
