Installation
Instructions
Before you begin operating the oven, carefully read the following instructions.
1. Empty the microwave oven and clean
inside it with a soft, damp cloth. Check for
damage such as misaligned door, dam-
age around the door, or dents inside the
oven or on the exterior. If there is any
damage, do not operate the unit until it
has been checked by an authorized
Whirlpool service technician and any
repairs made.
2. Put the oven on acart, counter, table, or
shelf that is strong enough to hold the
oven and the food and utensils you put in
it. (The control side of the unit is the
heavy side. Use care when handling.)
The weight of the oven is about 34 Ibs.
The microwave oven should be at a
temperature above 50°F (10°C) for proper
operation.

vents
NOTE: Do not block the exhaust vents or
rear air intake openings. Allow a few inches
of space at back of oven where intake
openings are located. Blocking the air intake
openings and exhaust vents could cause
damage to the oven and poor cooking
results. Make sure the microwave oven legs
are in place to ensure proper airflow. If vents
are blocked, a sensitive thermal safety
device automatically turns the oven off. The
oven will not work until it has cooled enough.
Fire Hazard
Do not install the oven next to or over a
heat source (for example, a cooktop or
range). Also, do not install oven in any
area where excessive heat and steam
are generated.
Failure to follow the above could result
in fire, electrical shock, other personal
injury, excessive exposure to microwave
energy, or damage to the outside of the
cabinet.
