Q: QuestionDoes this microwave have a beverage setting?

Asked 4 years ago by Mixer.

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave Hood Combination - Stainless Steel

• A:Answer No, but the 30sec quick button does the trick. Push once to reheat, push twice for more heat. I use this button always! You don’t even need the keyboard. Most items are cooked at 100% power so just push the 30sec button until you reach your time. 4 pushes for Hot! Liquid. 2 mins for ramen.

Q: QuestionI have read the installation instructions. Do you "have" to vent this microwave outside? The instructions give only two options for venting and they are both to the outside. My current micro-hood had the option of just recirculating into the kitchen.

Q: QuestionDoes this have to be plugged into an outlet or is it hardwired?

Asked 5 years ago by Jack.

• A:Answer The unit comes in the box with a three pronged wall plug attached, so of course it can be plugged into a wall socket. However, the Installation Manual that comes with it indicates that the unit can be hardwired to a suitable source and it is connected with proper grounding etc. So, it can be installed either way, depending upon your needs.
