MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reect off the metal oor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the
turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are
attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules
in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat
which cooks the food.
nTo avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
nTo avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
nBaby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
nClothes, owers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, and paper,
including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be
dried in the microwave oven.
nParafn wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
nUse oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers
from microwave oven.
nDo not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly rm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will nish cooking while standing.
nDo not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring
signicant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover
poachedeggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape,
startingtemperature, composition, and density of the food
affectcookingresults.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time
needed.Check for doneness and add small increments
oftimeifnecessary.
Size and Shape
Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces,
and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly
shaped food.
Starting Temperature
Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods,
and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.
Composition and Density
Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature and
will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as
meat and potatoes, require a longer cook time than the same
size of a light, porous food, such as cake.
Cooking Guidelines
Covering
Covering food helps retain moisture, shorten cook time, and
reduce spattering. Use the lid supplied with cookware. If a
lid isnot available, wax paper, paper towels, or plastic wrap
approved for microwave ovens may be used. Plastic wrap
should be turned back at one corner to provide an opening to
vent steam. Condensation on the door and cavity surfaces is
normal during heavy cooking.
Stirring and Turning
Stirring and turning redistribute heat evenly to avoid overcooking
the outer edges of food. Stir from outside to center. If possible,
turn food over from bottom to top.
Arranging
If heating irregularly shaped or different-sized foods, arrange
the thinner parts and smaller-sized items toward the center. If
cooking several items of the same size and shape, place them
ina ring pattern, leaving the center of the ring empty.
Piercing
Before heating, use a fork or small knife to pierce or prick foods
that have a skin or membrane, such as potatoes, egg yolks,
chicken livers, hot dogs, and sausage. Prick in several places
toallow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, at pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces
of irregularly shaped foods, bones, and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips, and sh tail. See the “Aluminum Foil and Metal”
section rst.
Standing Time
Food will continue to cook by the natural conduction of heat,
even after the microwave cooking cycle ends. The length of
standing time depends on the volume and density of the food.
8
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must t on the turntable. Always
use oven mitts or pot holders when handling because any dish
may become hot from heat transferred from the food. Do not
use cookware and dinnerware with gold or silver trim. Use the
following chart as a guide, then test before using.
Material Recommendations

Metal cookware and bakeware, gold, silver, pewter, non-approved
meat thermometers, skewers, twist ties, foil liners, such as
sandwich wrappers, staples, and objects with gold or silver trim,
or a metallic glaze should not be used in the microwave oven.
Microwave Cooking Power
Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking
power to use by percent or name. For example,
PL7 = 70% = Medium-High.

Installer ou placer le four à micro-ondes uniquement selon
les instructions d’installation fournies.
Certains produits, comme les oeufs entiers dans leur
coquille et les récipients fermés - par exemple les bocaux
en verre fermés - peuvent exploser et on ne doit pas les
faire chauffer dans le four à micro-ondes.
Utiliser le four à micro-ondes uniquement pour les
applications auxquelles il est destiné, telles qu’elles sont
décrites dans ce manuel. Ne pas utiliser de vapeurs ou de
produits chimiques corrosifs dans le four à micro-ondes.
Ce type de four est spécifiquement conçu pour chauffer,
cuire ou sécher des aliments. Il n’est pas conçu pour des
applications industrielles ou de laboratoire.
Comme pour tout appareil ménager, les enfants ne
devraient utiliser ce four que sous une supervision
adéquate.
Ne pas faire fonctionner le four à micro-ondes si le cordon
d’alimentation ou la fiche de branchement est endommagé,
s’il ne fonctionne pas correctement, s’il a subi des
dommages ou s’il est tombé.
Tous les travaux de service doivent être exécutés
exclusivement par un personnel d’entretien qualifié.
Contacter un centre de service autorisé pour les opérations
d’inspection, de réparation ou de réglage.
Ne pas couvrir ni obstruer toute ouverture sur le four à
micro-ondes.
Ne pas remiser ce four à micro-ondes à l’extérieur. Ne pas
utiliser le four à micro-ondes à proximité d’eau - par

IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
Les liquides tels que l’eau, le café ou le thé peuvent
trop chauffer - au-delà du point d’ébullition - sans
sembler bouillir. Il n’y a pas toujours des bulles ou une
ébullition lorsqu’on retire le récipient du four à
micro-ondes. À CAUSE DE CECI, DES LIQUIDES
TRÈS CHAUDS POURRAIENT DÉBORDER
LORSQU’ON BOUGE LE RÉCIPIENT OU QUE L’ON
UTILISE UNE CUILLÈRE OU UN AUTRE USTENSILE
POUR LE REMUER.
Pour réduire le risque de blessures corporelles :
– Ne pas trop faire chauffer le liquide.
– Remuer le liquide avant et pendant le chauffage.

Veiller à ne rien remiser directement sur le four lorsqu’il est en
service.
Les aliments trop volumineux ou des ustensiles en métal de
grande taille ne doivent pas être insérés dans le four à
micro-ondes car ils peuvent créer un incendie ou un risque de
choc électrique.
Ne pas nettoyer avec des tampons métalliques à récurer. Des
pièces peuvent se détacher du tampon en brûlant et venir en

nNe pas obstruer les conduits d’évacuation ou les ouvertures
de prise d’air. Laisser quelques centimètres à l’arrière du four
et sur le côté du micro-ondes à l’emplacement des conduits
d’évacuation. L’obstruction des conduits d’évacuation peut
entraîner des dommages au four à micro-ondes, de même
que de médiocres résultats de cuisson.
nVeiller à ce que les pieds du four à micro-ondes soient
bien en place pour assurer un ux d’air approprié. Si les
évents sont obstrués, un dispositif de sécurité thermique
sensible peut commander l’extinction automatique du four
à micro-ondes. Le four à micro-ondes devrait fonctionner
correctement une fois refroidi.
Spécicationsélectriques
Observer les dispositions de tous les codes et règlements en
vigueur.
Exigences:
nAlimentation de 120V, 60Hz, CA seulement, et protégée par
un fusible ou un disjoncteur temporisé de 15A ou 20A.
Recommandation:
nFusible ou disjoncteur temporisé
nCircuit distinct exclusif au four à micro-ondes
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque du poids excessif
Utiliser deux ou plus de personnes pour déplacer et
installer le four à micro-ondes.
Le non-respect de cette instruction peut causer
une blessure au dos ou d'autre blessure.
AVERTISSEMENT
Risque de choc électrique
Brancher sur une prise à 3 alvéoles reliée à la terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison à la terre.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge.
Le non-respect de ces instructions peut causer
un décès, un incendie ou un choc électrique.
INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON À LA TERRE
AVERTISSEMENT : L’utilisation incorrecte du
dispositif de liaison à la terre peut susciter un risque de choc
électrique. L’utilisateur qui ne comprend pas bien les
instructions de liaison à la terre, ou qui n’est pas certain que
le four à micro-ondes soit convenablement relié à la terre,
devrait consulter un électricien ou un technicien qualifié.
Ne pas utiliser un câble de rallonge. Si le cordon de
courant électrique est trop court, demander à un électricien
ou un technicien qualifié d’installer une prise de courant à
proximité du four à micro-ondes. Le cordon d'alimentation
fourni est court pour réduire le risque de s'empêtrer ou de
trébucher.
CONSERVEZ CES
INSTRUCTIONS
Pour tout appareil ménager connecté par un cordon
de courant électrique :
Il faut que le four à micro-ondes soit relié à la terre. En
cas de court-circuit électrique, la liaison à la terre réduit le
risque de choc électrique car le courant électrique
dispose d’un itinéraire direct d’acheminement à la terre.
Le four à micro-ondes est doté d’un cordon de courant
électrique qui comporte un fil de liaison à la terre, avec
broche de liaison à la terre. On doit brancher la fiche sur
une prise de courant convenablement installée et reliée à
la terre.

PIÈCES ET
CARACTÉRISTIQUES
Ce manuel peut couvrir plusieurs modèles différents. Le modèle
que vous avez acheté peut comporter certains (ou l’ensemble)
des éléments présentés dans ce document. L’apparence de
votre modèle peut différer légèrement des illustrations gurant
dans ce manuel.
Plateau rotatif
Le plateau rotatif peut tourner dans les deux sens pour
permettre une cuisson plus uniforme. Pour de meilleurs résultats,
ne pas faire fonctionner le four à micro-ondes lorsque le plateau
rotatif est enlevé. Voir la section «Assistance ou service» pour
commander de nouvelles pièces.
Installation:
1. Placer le support dans la cavité du bas du four à
micro-ondes.
2. Placer le plateau rotatif sur le support.
Insérer les protubérances arrondies au centre du dessous du
plateau rotatif entre les 3 rayons de l’axe. Les roulettes sur le
support devraient se loger à l’intérieur du pourtour cranté du
dessous du plateau rotatif.
COMMANDE DU FOUR À
MICRO-ONDES
Display (Afchage)
Lorsque l’alimentation électrique arrive au four à micro-ondes
pour la première fois, «0:00» clignote à l’afchage. Si «0:00»
apparaît à l’afchage en tout autre moment, cela signie qu’il
y a eu coupure de courant. Régler de nouveau l’horloge si
nécessaire. Voir la section «Horloge».
REMARQUE: La langue d’afchage peut être réglée sur le
français et le mode d’entrée du poids peut être réglé sur le
système métrique dans les 5 premières minutes de la mise sous
tension. Voir les sections «Langue» et «Mode d’entrée du
poids».

Icônes de fonctions
Les icônes s’allument sur l’afchage tandis que le programmage
de leurs fonctions respectives s’effectue. Alors que la fonction
programmée fonctionne, les icônes clignotent jusqu’à ce que le
programme soit terminé. Lorsque le tableau de commande est
verrouillé, l’icône de verrouillage du tableau de commande reste
allumée – elle ne clignote pas.
Lorsque le four à micro-ondes est en cours d’utilisation, l’écran
afche le temps de cuisson restant et les icônes de fonction
clignotent. Lorsque le four à micro-ondes n’est pas utilisé,
l’afchage indique l’heure (si l’horloge est réglée) ou le compte à
rebours de la minuterie (si la minuterie est réglée).
Start (Mise en marche)
La touche Start (mise en marche) met en marche n’importe
quelle fonction. Si la cuisson sans détection est interrompue par
l’ouverture de la porte, appuyer sur Start (mise en marche) pour
poursuivre le programme.
REMARQUE: Pour éviter l’utilisation involontaire du four à
micro-ondes, il est impossible de lancer une fonction de cuisson
si la porte du four à micro-ondes est restée fermée pendant
