ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY

For one year from the original date of purchase, when this microwave is installed, operated and maintained according to instructions 
attached to or furnished with the product, Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP (hereafter “Whirlpool”) will, at its sole option, 
either pay for factory specified parts and repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship or replace the product. If replaced, 
the unit will be covered by the remaining one-year limited warranty of the original unit. See service instructions below.
YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE PRODUCT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AT

service or replacement under this limited warranty.
