A:AnswerI recommend that you contact the manufacturer to find the maximum shell temperature of the oven, then find the maximum safe temperature for the MDF cabinets.
A:AnswerYou can start/stop the hood fan and turn the hood light on/off.
My experience so far: When asking Alexa to start the microwave it asks for how long and it sends the command to the microwave. You can see the time on the screen but you have to physically press the button to start it.
A:AnswerI have been using mine on the countertop temporarily until I can get someone to help me install it. It works great and I really like it. Keep in mind the light and vent are underneath so it will not sit completely level like a countertop model. Yes it will tilt when opening the door, just be very careful. I do not know if there is a countertop model.
A:AnswerThe rack that hangs from the hooks on the inside of the unit is for microwaving ONLY. The round wire rack is to be used when convection cooking. It should be placed on the turntable (either turning or not turning is okay) so air can be passed beneath the cooking vessel.
A:AnswerHi PamelaM, yes, this Whirlpool - 1.9 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Sensor Cooking does have voice control with a compatible voice-enabled device.
A:AnswerYou can use the rectangular rack that is provided. The circular one will provide a more even heat to whatever you are cooking with convention heat. Pizza for example should be done on the circular rack. The heating element is in the left side of the microwave and not on the bottom like a conventional oven. This is why the circular rack is advised.
A:AnswerNo, not a good idea. The bottom has a light and vents for the exhaust fan. Also it may not sit flat, slightly.
Power cord comes out the top - kinda silly for a countertop unit.
A:AnswerThe charcoal filter is behind the vent grille at
the top front of the microwave oven. The charcoal filter cannot
be cleaned and should be replaced about every 6 months or as
prompted by Filter Status indicator. Remove two screws on the
vent grille, tilt the grille forward, lift it out, and remove filter. To
reinstall, place the filter into its slotted area—wire mesh-side up—
replace vent grille, and secure with screws.
A:AnswerJen, metal bakeware may be used only during convection (bake) cycles. Use ovenproof, microwave- safe cookware for all other convection and combination cycles. Per page 22 of the User Guide.
Hopefully, this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Whirlpool
appliances!
A:AnswerFor bi-level cooking. Can be used for microwave cooking or convection. Do not use during microwaving without having an item on it to prevent it accidentally touching the sides and damaging the microwave. This is a great microwave/convection oven. Highly recommend!
