DO NOT do canning of foods in
the oven. Closed glass jars may
explode resulting in damage to
the oven or possible personal
injury.
DO NOT use the oven to steri-
lize objects (baby bottles, etc.).
It is difficult to maintain the high
temperature required for safe
sterilization.
USE HOT PADS.
Microwave energy does not heat
containers, but the hot food
does.
It is normal for the inside of the
oven door to look wavy after the
oven has been running for a
while.
DO NOT heat, store or use flam-
mable materials in or near the
oven. Fumes can create a fire
hazard or explosion.
DO NOT deep fry in the oven.
Microwavable utensils are not
suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep fry-
ing temperatures.
Additional Precautions
l
Do not operate the microwave oven unless the glass tray is securely in place. Cooking efficiency will be
reduced. Also, arcing (sparking and crackling) can occur, causing black marks in the oven cavity.
l
Make sure glass tray is correct-side up in oven. Carefully place cookware on glass tray to avoid possible
breakage.
l
Handle glass tray with care when removing from oven to avoid possible breakage. If glass tray cracks
or breaks, contact your Whirlpool dealer for a replacement.
l
When a browning dish is used, the browning dish bottom must be at least 3i;6 inch above glass tray. If
your browning dish is not elevated on feet, set it on a microwave-safe plate before using. Follow direc-
tions supplied with browning
dish.
