SOME DO’S, DON’T&
AND
HINTS
DO:
l Plug the microwave oven into a separate 15 ampere circuit. Use only
an electrically grounded 3-pronged wall outlet.
l Remove metal ties from plastic bags before placing them in the oven
to avoid arcing and possible oven damage. Check carryout food
containers for metal before reheating foods in them.
l Use your microwave oven only for cooking, reheating and defrosting.
l Slice whole eggs before reheating to avoid a steam buildup and
possible bursting.
l For cooking times longer than four minutes, avoid using paper
containers and be careful of the plastics you use. (Some plastics may
get hot and melt.)
l Follow recipe instructions to stir, turn or add foods between cooking
cycles to avoid possible damage to the utensil or oven.
DON’TS:
l Your microwave oven uses 1450 watts at full power. It can’t share an
outlet with another operating appliance.
l Be careful that food or utensils do not push against the plastic mode
mixer cover. Don’t remove the cover.
l Harsh abrasives may scratch the oven finish.
l Don’t use dishes or utensils with metal trim, staples, closures or
liners.
Metals should not be used in the oven unless especially directed in the
MICRO MENUS* Cookbook.
l Always have food in the microwave oven before operating it to avoid
possible damage to the oven.
l Store nothing in the microwave oven.
l Scorched or burned foods are overcooked. Continued cooking can
only burn them further and may cause them to flame.. especially
potatoes, corn-on-thecob, and snacks.
l Do not hold START button in after oven is started or try to operate oven
by continuously pressing the START button.
HINTS:
1. Most of the oven’s weight is on one side (the side with the controls)
and it may be awkward to move.
2. INDICATORS may flicker when the microwave oven is on. This is
normal.
3. If your line voltage is low (less than 120 volts), heating and cooking
times may have to be longer.
4. When using recipes other than those from the MICRO MENUS*
Cookbook, you may have to experiment with cooking times and power
level settings. Cook foods according to the times and quantities given
in the Whirlpool cookbook. As in conventional cooking, over-cooking
can burn food and it may flame. Shorten cooking time for smaller
quantities.
