SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS W10545080A IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as described in the manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children. Do not operate the microwave oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. The microwave oven should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Call an authorized service company for examination, repair, or adjustment. Do not cover or block any openings on the microwave oven. Do not store this microwave oven outdoors. Do not use the microwave oven near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, or similar locations. Do not immerse cord or plug in water. Keep cord away from heated surfaces. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter. See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Microwave Oven Care” section. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: – Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave oven when paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. – Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bags in oven. – If materials inside the oven ignite, keep oven door closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. – Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when not in use. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: – Do not overheat the liquid. – Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it. – Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks. – After heating, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for a short time before removing the container. – Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container. Do not mount over a sink. Do not store anything directly on top of the microwave oven when the microwave oven is in operation.

For all cord connected appliances: The microwave oven must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the microwave oven is properly grounded. Do not remove ground prong. Do not use an adapter. Do not use an extension cord. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock. Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install an outlet near the microwave oven. Observe all governing codes and ordinances. Required: ■ A 120 volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp electrical supply with a fuse or circuit breaker. Recommended: ■ A time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker. ■ A separate circuit serving only this microwave oven. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. 3 OPERATING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN Settings For information on setting the clock, timer, child lock, vent fan and cooktop light, and to view the list of options on the Settings & Info or Hints & Settings menu (depending on your model), see the Quick Reference Guide. Features Turntable Progress Bar Turntable may be turned off (on some models) for manual cooking only. This is helpful when cooking with plates that are bigger than the turntable, or when cooking with plates that are side by side. Turntable cannot be turned off during preset or sensor (on some models) functions. The progress bar is a visual picture of the estimated running time of sensor functions. It appears under “Sensing” in the display. 6th SENSE™ System A sensor in the microwave oven detects moisture released from food as it heats, and adjusts the cooking time accordingly. Convection Element and Fan (on some models) ACCUWAVE® Technology (on some models) The convection element and fan are embedded in the wall of the microwave oven cavity, behind the metal screen. This microwave system delivers a constant stream of the selected microwave power, whereas typical microwave systems deliver only intervals of 100% and 0% power Cooking Rack (on some models) Use only for 2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven, always remove rack after 2-level cooking. To avoid damage to the microwave oven due to soil buildup, clean rack supports often. Interactive Touch Display The LCD interactive touch display is designed to be easily navigable, guiding you through the menus, offering multiple selections, accepting your input and executing your commands. It also shows instructions, tips and graphics. Grill Element (on some models) The grill element has a 1,000-watt halogen bulb and a 500-watt quartz bulb. The halogen bulb glows very brightly, but the quartz bulb has a very faint glow that might not be visible. TRUCAPTURE® Ventilation System (on some models) The vent fan comes on automatically during convection and grill cooking (on some models), and it also comes on if the cooktop below gets too hot. Accessories Pan (on some models) Grill Rack (on some models) Use the provided pan for pan-frying (browning). The pan may be used to catch drippings during grill (on some models) and convection (on some models) functions. Use the grill rack for grilling. Place food directly on the grill rack.

For optimal performance, wait at least 30 minutes after convection cooking or grilling (on some models) before sensor cooking. Popcorn is a sensor function. The sensor determines appropriate cooking times for commercially packaged popcorn. Warm Hold WARNING Stage Cooking If programming stage cooking, follow the screen prompts on the display to add additional stages, and set time, power and/or temperature (on some models) for each stage. Up to 4 stages may be programmed. Food Poisoning Hazard Do not let food sit in oven more than one hour before or after cooking. Doneness Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Add or subtract time from most automatic cook functions by touching “Doneness” on the touch screen during programing, and following the prompts. Doneness is remembered for specific programs. Some meat, poultry and/or fish functions may not give you the option to lessen doneness. Hot cooked food can be kept warm in the microwave oven. The Warm Hold function uses 10% cook power. Warm Hold can be used by itself or can be programmed to follow a cooking cycle. Opening the door during Warm Hold will cancel the function. 5 MICROWAVE OVEN CARE General Cleaning ■ Pan: mild soap, water and washcloth or dishwasher. IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products.

If you experience Recommended Solutions Microwave oven will not operate Check the following: ■ Household fuse or circuit breaker - If a household fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has tripped, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues, call an electrician. ■ ■ ■ ■ Arcing in the microwave oven Household inverter power supply - The power source for this microwave oven is an inverter, and is incompatible with household inverter power supplies. Magnetron - Try to heat 1 cup (250 mL) of cold water for 2 minutes at 100% cooking power. If water does not heat, try the steps in the bullets below. If microwave oven still does not operate, call for service. Door - Firmly close door. On some models, if a packaging spacer is attached to inside of the door, remove it, then firmly close door. If a message about the door appears in the display, the door has been closed for 5 minutes or more without the microwave oven being started. This occurs to avoid unintended starting of the microwave oven. Open and close the door, then start the cycle. Control - Make sure control is set properly. Make sure Control Lock is off. Make sure Demo Mode (on some models) is off. Check the following: ■ Soil buildup - Soil buildup on cavity walls, microwave inlet cover, cooking rack supports, and area where the door touches the frame can cause arcing. See “General Cleaning” in “Microwave Oven Care” section. Turntable alternates rotation directions ■ This is normal and depends on motor rotation at the beginning of the cycle. Odor and smoke coming from microwave oven during convection cooking (on some models) ■ This is normal for the first few convection cycles. The odor will dissipate with repeated use. Quartz bulb (on some models) does not appear to be on ■ This is not unusual. See “Grill Element” in the “Features” section. ■ Is the element still working properly? Place 2 slices of bread on the tall grill rack, place the rack on the turntable and close the door. Program the microwave oven using manual grill – without microwaves – for 4 minutes. The bread should toast dark brown. If it does not toast, call for service. Fan running during cooktop usage ■ This is normal. The microwave oven’s cooling fan (on some models), which is separate from the vent fan, automatically comes on during microwave oven operation to cool the microwave oven. It may also automatically come on and cycle on and off to cool the microwave oven’s controls while the cooktop below is being used. ■ This is normal for convection and grill use. The fan may run for up to 10 minutes to cool the microwave oven. Fan running after cooking is finished Radio, TV or cordless phone interference Check the following: ■ Proximity - Move the receiver away from the microwave oven, or adjust the radio or TV antenna. ■ Soil - Make sure the microwave oven door and sealing surfaces are clean. ■ Frequency - Some 2.4 GHz-based cordless phones and home wireless networks may experience static or noise while microwave oven is on. Use a corded phone, a different frequency cordless phone or avoid using these items during microwave oven operation. 7 WARRANTY WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION MAJOR APPLIANCE WARRANTY LIMITED WARRANTY For one year from the date of purchase, when this major appliance is operated and maintained according to instructions attached to or furnished with the product, Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP (hereafter “Whirlpool”) will pay for Factory Specified Parts and repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship.
