Whirlpool Q Microwave Oven User Manual


 
-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 ft.
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 can
damage the oven,
as
can 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.

for storage
pur-
poses. Do not leave paper products,
cooking utensils,
or food
in the cavity
when not in use.

a
sink.
-Do not store anything directly on top of
the appliance when appliance is in
operation.

cord or shut off power at the fuse or
circuit breaker panel.

are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

temporarily, (a) the marked electrical
rating of the cord set or extension cord
should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, (b)
the extension cord must be a ground-
ing-type, 3-wire cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slol receptacle
that will accept the plug on the appli-
ance, and (c) the longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over
the countertop or tabletop where it can
