A Note to You

Thank you for buying a WHIRLPOOL@ appliance.

Because your life is getting busier and more complicated, WHIRLPOOL microwave ovens are easy to use, save time, and help you manage your home better. To ensure that you enjoy years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care Guide. It contains valuable information about how to operate and maintain your microwave oven properly and safely. Please read it carefully.

Also, please complete and mail in the Ownership Registration Card provided with your appliance. The card helps us notify you about any new information on your appliance.

Your safety is important to us.

This guide contains warning symbols and statements. Please pay special attention to this symbol and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of the warning symbol.

This symbol will help alert you to such dangers as fire, electrical shock, burns, and personal injury.

Our Consumer Assistance Center number, 1-800-253-l 301, is toll-free 24 hours a day.

If you ever have a question concerning your appliance’s operation, or if you need service, first see “IfYou Need Assistance or Service” on page 72. If you need further help, feel free to call our Consumer Assistance Center. When calling, you will need to know your appliance’s complete model number and serial number.
