Whirlpool Q Microwave Oven User Manual


 
Operating safety precautions
To reduce the risk of bums, fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage
when
using the microwave oven, follow
the precautions on pages 6-7.
1
Never cook or reheat a whole egg inside
the shell.
Steam build-up in whole eggs
may cause them to burst and bum you,
and possibly damage the oven. Slice
hard-boiled eggs before heating. In rare
instances, poached eggs have been known
to explode.
Cover
poached eggs and
allow
a
standing time of one minute before cutting
into them.
Stir before heating
For best
results, stir any liquid several
times before heating or reheating.
Liquids
heated in certain containers (especially
cylindrical containers) may become over-
heated. 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.
Never
lean on the door or allow a child to
swing on it when the door is open. injury
could result.
Use hot pads.
Microwave energy does not
heat containers, but the hot food does.
Do not overcook
potatoes. Fire could
result. At the end of the recommended
cooking time, potatoes should be slightly
firm because they will continue cooking
during standing time.
After microwaving,
wrap
potatoes in foil and
set aside
for
5 minutes. They will finish cooking while
standing.
