W O L F M I C R OWAV E OV E N T H A N K YO U Your purchase of a Wolf microwave oven attests to the importance you place upon the quality and performance of your cooking equipment. We understand this importance and have designed and built your microwave oven with quality materials and workmanship to give you years of dependable service. We know you are eager to start cooking, but before you do, please take some time to read this Use & Care Information.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N S T RU C T I O N S A N D P R E C AU T I O N S READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following: As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE IN THE OVEN CAVITY: Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance when paper, plastic or other combustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking. 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.
I M P O RTA N T S A F E T Y I N S T RU C T I O N S A N D P R E C AU T I O N S FOOD Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”. Don’t cook eggs in shells. Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave oven. Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Popcorn pad.
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.
W O L F M I C R O W A V E O V E N F E AT U R E S M I C R OWAV E OV E N F E A T U R E S WOLF WA R R A N T Y Wolf products are covered by a two and five year residential warranty (exclusions apply). See warranty details at the end of this guide.
W O L F M I C R O W A V E O V E N I N S TA L L AT I O N U N PAC K I N G Y O U R M I C R O W A V E C H O O S I N G A L O C AT I O N Remove all packing materials from inside the oven cavity; however, Do not remove the waveguide cover, which is located on the right cavity wall, see illustration below. Read enclosures and save this Use and Care Information for future reference. Remove the feature sticker (if there is one), from the outside of the door.
W O L F M I C R O W A V E O V E N I N S TA L L AT I O N ELECTRICAL R E Q U I R E M E N T S The Wolf microwave oven requires a separate, grounded 110/120 VAC, 60 Hz power supply. The service should have its own 15 amp circuit breaker, and a grounded 3-prong receptacle should be located within reach of the power cord. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
W O L F M I C R O W A V E O V E N O P E R AT I O N ABOUT M I C RO WAV E C O O K I N G Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish. SIGNS OF DONENESS Food steams throughout, not just at edge. Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Severely overcooked food can smoke or ignite. Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid.
W O L F M I C R O W A V E O V E N O P E R AT I O N C O O K WA R E S U G G E S T I O N S It is not necessary to buy all new cookware.

For further reference about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.
