Whirlpool MH9115XB warranty To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity continued

To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity (continued):

-Test dinnerware or cookware before using. To test a dish for safe use, put it into the oven with a cup of water beside it. Cook at 100% Cook Power for one minute. If the dish gets hot and water stays cool, do not use it. Some dishes (melamine, some ceramic dinnerware, etc.) absorb microwave energy, becoming too hot to handle and slowing cooking times. Cooking in metal containers not designed for microwave use could damage the oven, as can containers with hidden metal (twist-ties, foil lining, staples, metallic glaze or trim).

-Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in oven.

-If materials inside the oven should 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.

Because of the automatic exhaust fan feature, the following cautions must be observed:

-Do not leave the area when using your cooktop at a high setting. Accidental fires from boilovers or spattering on the surface unit could spread, especially if the exhaust fan is operating.

-Do not allow grease and soil to build up in the grease filter. Exhaust fan efficiency will decrease and fire could result. Clean often following the filter cleaning instructions on page 63.

-Do not change the cooktop or oven lights without turning the power off at the main power supply (see pages 64 and 65). Electrical shock could result.

-Do not flame foods on a cooktop surface below this unit. The fan, if operating, could spread the flame and cause personal injury or property damage.

Use care when cleaning the vent hood filter. Corrosive cleaning agents, such as lye-based oven cleaners, could damage filter.

Read and follow “Operating safety precautions” starting on page 6.
