Whirlpool MW8550XS Microwave Oven User Manual


 
Operating safety precautions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the microwave oven, follow the precautions
on pages 20-21.
NEVER COOK OR
REHEAT A WHOLE EGG.
Steam build-up in whole
eggs may cause them to
burst and burn you, and
possibly damage the oven.
Slice hard boiled eggs be-
fore heating. In rare in-
stances, poached eggs have
been known to explode.
Cover poached eggs and
allow a standing time of one
minute before cutting into
them.
Liquids heated in certain
containers (especially
cylindrical-shaped containers)
may become overheated. The
liquid may splash out with a
loud noise during or after
heating or when adding
ingredients [coffee, etc.)
resulting in harm to the oven
and possible personal injury.
For best results stir any
liquid several times before
heating or reheating.
USE HOT PADS.
Microwave
energy does not heat contain-
ers, but the hot food does.
DO NOT
heat, store or use
flammable, inflammable or
corrosive materials in or near
the oven. Fumes can create
a fire hazard or explosion.
NEVER
lean on the door or
allow a child to swing on it
when the door is open. Injury
could result.
DO NOT
can foods in the
oven. Closed glass jars may
explode resulting in damage
to the oven or possible per-
sonal injury.
DO NOT
use the oven to ster-
ilize objects (baby bottles,
etc.). It is difficult to maintain
the high temperature required
for safe sterilization.
DO NOT
deep fry in the oven.
Microwavable utensils are not
suitable and it is difficult to
maintain appropriate deep
frying temperatures.
