Q: It’s funny, but can’t find start button. Where is it?

A: We had the same problem at first glance so do not feel bad - it is the sideways triangle that is pointing to the right located on the right side of the touch pad. It may say something like +30 under it. once you press this button the microwave starts and if you press again it adds 30 seconds. The dishwasher also uses this symbol for start. If this is made in America I am surprised it just does not just say start, but I guess that is too logical. This reminded us of the "start" button of a 1980's cassette player!

Q: Do you need outside venting for this unit

A: No, not necessary. Of course outside venting is best but has charcoal filter for indoor recycling.

Q: I don't see a handle typical to other microwaves. How does it open?

A: on the right hand side of the door you just pull it open from the side

Q: Can I toast bread, bagels in this microwave ????

A: Hello Luba! This model does not have a toast function. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.

Q: Are the convection baking and microwave cooking features separate? Can I cook with JUST convection bake and JUST microwave?

A: Baker75, you can ONLY use this as a microwave OR as an oven at any one moment. It does not use both types of heating simultaneously during a single cooking “start”, nor does ANY 120volt over-the-range microwave model. To really do fan and both microwave and convection at once, and well, any oven would need more power. At 120v (standard microwave outlet plug) the fan, mwave, and convection would need to cycle on and off anyway (which is what the Kitchrnaid does when it claims to “speed cook”. Not that speedy since it’s really cutting microwave on and off with low power.) We have preheated, then microwaved a half chicken for 3 minutes at 70% power, then finished by convection with this. Very pleased. Would buy again.

Q: How do I open the door , looked but didn’t see nothing. Thank you

A: My door doesn't lock. Just pull open from side with fingertip slot on side of door. It automatically stops running when pull it open. I believe there is an icon tab that will lock but I've never used it.

Q: Does the clock show brightly? Last Whirlpool microwave you could barely see it....

A: It shines bright enough to see across a lit room and at night is visible from a few rooms away. It shows as white numbers. You do need to be in direct line of site to see it. From angles, you cannot tell time, there is just a little glow.
