This document describes the Whirlpool WMC50522 Microwave Oven, a countertop appliance designed for heating, cooking, and drying food. It emphasizes safety, proper installation, and effective use and care to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
The Whirlpool WMC50522 Microwave Oven utilizes a magnetron to produce microwaves that reflect off the metal interior surfaces and pass through the turntable and cookware to the food. These microwaves are absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules within the food, causing them to move, generate friction, and produce heat for cooking. The oven is specifically designed for heating, cooking, or drying food and is not intended for industrial or laboratory use.
The microwave oven features a control panel with various functions to facilitate cooking. It includes a standard 12-hour clock, a timer that counts down up to 99 minutes and 99 seconds, and a language setting that can be switched between English and French. The control panel also features a "Control Lock" function to disable keypads and prevent unintended use.
Cooking functions include:
The microwave oven also provides audible tones to indicate various events, such as valid entries, control lock activation/deactivation, end of cooking stages, end of timer countdown, and end of cooking cycles. A reminder tone sounds each minute after the end-of-cycle tones.
For optimal cooking results, the manual provides guidelines on food characteristics and preparation:
The manual also includes a comprehensive chart for cookware and dinnerware, indicating acceptable materials for microwave use and those to avoid (e.g., metal cookware, gold/silver trim). It provides a test method to determine if cookware is microwave-safe.
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the microwave oven's performance and safety. The manual outlines cleaning procedures for various parts:
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues, such as the oven not operating, making humming noises, the turntable not rotating, or display messages. It advises contacting Whirlpool Customer Experience Center for service, replacement parts, or assistance with features and installation. Built-in trim kits are available for integrating the countertop microwave into a wall or cabinet.
