Empty the microwave oven and clean inside it
with a soft, damp cloth. Check for damage
such as misaligned door, damage around the
door or dents inside the oven or on the
exterior. If there is any damage, please do not
operate the unit until it has been checked by
an authorized Whirlpool” service technician
and any repairs have been made.
Put the oven on a cart, 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 Models
MS1650XW and MS1651XW are approxi-
mately 23.2 Ibs (10.5 kg). The weight of Model
MS1451XW is approximately 23.1 Ibs (10.4 kg).
Do not block the rear air intake openings
and air vents on side and back of
microwave oven. Allow a few inches of air
circulation on side and back of oven where
vents and intake openings are located.
Blocking the air intake openings and air vents
can cause damage to the oven and poor
cooking results. Make sure the microwave
oven legs are in place to ensure proper
airflow.
Do not install the oven next to or over a
heat source (for example a cooktop or
range) or in any area where excessive heat
and steam are generated. This could
damage the outside of the cabinet.
