GENERAL SAFETY

ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

Stay near the oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

Select, store and handle food care- fully to preserve its high quality and

minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

Keep waveguide cover clean. Food

residue can cause arcing and fires.

Use care when removing items from

the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

Keep aluminum foil used for

shielding at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) away from walls, ceiling and door of microwave oven. (See page 13 for details.)

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support

nor turn the turntable over so that a large dish can be placed in the oven. The turntable will turn both clock- wise and counterclockwise.

If the oven light fails, consult a Wolf

authorized service center.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to

absorb the microwave energy.

When using the microwave oven at

power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of

microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influ- ence the amount of moisture that condenses in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Vents on the oven back must not be blocked.

After using convection, automatic

mix or broil, you will hear the sound of the cooling fan. The fan may continue to operate as long as

5 minutes, depending on the oven temperature.

Unlike microwave-only ovens,

convection microwave ovens may become hot during convection, automatic mix and broil cooking.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be

used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your microwave oven is rated 900 watts by using the IEC Test

Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
