SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is
removed from the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER IS
DISTURBED OR A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS
INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
– Do not overheat the liquid.
– Stir the liquid both before and halfway through heating it.
– Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow necks.
– After heating, allow the container to stand in the
microwave oven for a short time before removing the
container.
– Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil
into the container.
■ Do not store the microwave oven outdoors. Do not use this
product near water - for example, near a kitchen sink, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
■ See door surface cleaning instructions in the “Oven Care”
section.
■ To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity:
– Do not overcook food. Carefully attend the microwave
oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are
placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
– Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before
placing bags in oven.
– If materials inside the oven should ignite, keep oven door
closed, turn oven off, and disconnect the power cord, or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
– Do not use the cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave
paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use.
When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons, or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
■ Read all instructions before using the microwave oven.
■ Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID
POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE
ENERGY” found in this section.
■ The microwave oven must be grounded. Connect only to
properly grounded outlet. See “GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS” found in this section.
■ Install or locate the microwave oven only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
■ Some products such as whole eggs in the shell and sealed
containers – for example, closed glass jars – may explode
and should not be heated in the microwave oven.
■ Use the microwave oven only for its intended use as
described in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals
or vapors in the microwave oven. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat, cook, or dry food. It is not
designed for industrial or laboratory use.

MICROWAVE OVEN CONTROL
MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reflect off the metal floor, 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.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not lean on or
allow children to swing on the microwave oven door.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not operate
microwave oven when it is empty.
■ Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in
microwave oven.
■ Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including
brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in
microwave oven.
■ Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave oven because it
does not absorb microwaves.
■ Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from
microwave oven.
■ Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended
cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes
stand for 5 minutes. They will finish cooking while standing.
■ Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam
buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring
significant cleanup of microwave oven cavity. Cover poached
eggs and allow a standing time.
Food Characteristics
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting
temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking
results.
Amount of Food
The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed.
Check for doneness and add small increments of time if
necessary.
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 is
not 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 in
a 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 to
allow steam to vent.
Shielding
Use small, flat pieces of aluminum foil to shield the thin pieces of
irregularly shaped foods, bones and foods such as chicken
wings, leg tips and fish tail. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.
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.
Cookware and Dinnerware
Cookware and dinnerware must fit 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.
To Test Cookware or Dinnerware for Microwave Use:
1. Place cookware or dinnerware in microwave oven with
1 cup (250 mL) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute.
Do not use cookware or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the
water stays cool.
Aluminum Foil and Metal
Always use oven mitts or pot holders when removing dishes from
the microwave oven.
Aluminum foil and some metal can be used in the microwave
oven. If not used properly, arcing (a blue flash of light) can occur
and cause damage to the microwave oven.
OK for Use
Racks and bakeware supplied with the microwave oven (on some
models), aluminum foil for shielding, and approved meat
thermometers may be used with the following guidelines:
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
aluminum foil or metal to touch the inside cavity walls,
ceiling or floor.
■ Always use the turntable.
■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not allow
contact with another metal object during microwave cooking.
Do Not Use
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, name or number. For example,
70%=7=Medium-High.
Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested
cooking power of specific foods.
MATERIAL RECOMMENDATIONS

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
Lors de l’utilisation d’appareils électroménagers, il convient d’observer certaines précautions élémentaires dont les suivantes :
IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour réduire le risque de
brûlures, de choc électrique, d’incendie, de blessures aux
personnes et l’exposition excessive à l’énergie des
micro-ondes :
■ Lire toutes les instructions avant d’utiliser le four à
micro-ondes.
■ Lire et observer les instructions spécifiques de
“PRÉCAUTIONS CONTRE LE RISQUE D’EXPOSITION
EXCESSIVE À L’ÉNERGIE DES MICRO-ONDES”
présentées dans cette section.
■ Le four à micro-ondes doit être relié à la terre. Brancher
l’appareil uniquement sur une prise de courant
convenablement reliée à la terre. Voir les “INSTRUCTIONS
DE MISE À LA TERRE” présentées dans cette section.
■ 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 un four à micro-ondes.
■ Utiliser cet appareil uniquement pour les usages auxquels il
est destiné, tels qu’ils sont décrits 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 usage industriel ou de laboratoire.
■ Des aliments et des ustensiles de cuisson en métal de taille
excessive ne doivent pas être placés dans le four à
micro-ondes car ils peuvent créer un incendie ou un risque
de choc électrique.
■ Ne pas nettoyer avec un tampon à récurer en métal. Des
parties se détachant du tampon peuvent toucher des
pièces électriques, causant un risque de choc électrique.
■ Ne pas remiser dans le four non utilisé des articles autres
que les accessoires recommandés par le fabricant.
■ 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 sur le plancher.
■ Ne pas frire dans le four. Les ustensiles allant au four à
micro-ondes ne conviennent pas et il est difficile de
maintenir des températures de friture appropriées.
■ Ne pas utiliser des produits en papier lorsque l’appareil
fonctionne au mode “PAN BROWN” (brunissement).
■ Ne pas couvrir les grilles ou toute autre partie du four avec
du papier métallique. Un surchauffage du four surviendra.
■ Comme pour tout appareil ménager, les enfants ne
devraient utiliser ce four que sous une supervision
adéquate.
■ 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 ou obstruer une ouverture quelconque du
four à micro-ondes.
18
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANTES INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ
■ 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.
– Ne pas utiliser de récipients à parois droites avec des
ouvertures étroites.
– Une fois chaud, laisser le récipient dans le four à
micro-ondes un moment avant de le retirer.
– Faire très attention lorsqu’on utilise une cuillère ou un
autre ustensile dans le récipient.
■ Ne pas remiser le four à micro-ondes à l’extérieur. Ne pas
utiliser cet appareil près de l’eau, comme par exemple près
d’un évier de cuisine, un sous-sol mouillé ou près d’une
piscine ou autres endroits semblables.
■ Voir les instructions de nettoyage de la surface de la porte
à la section “Entretien du four à micro-ondes”.
■ Pour réduire le risque d’incendie dans la cavité du four :
– Ne pas faire cuire les aliments excessivement. Surveiller
attentivement le four à micro-ondes après y avoir placé
des produits en papier, en plastique ou autres matériaux
combustibles pour faciliter la cuisson des aliments.
– Enlever les attaches métalliques des sachets en papier
ou en plastique avant de placer les sachets dans le four.
– En cas d’inflammation de matériaux placés à l’intérieur
du four, maintenir la porte du four fermée, arrêter le four
et débrancher le cordon de courant électrique, ou
interrompre l’alimentation électrique au niveau du tableau
de distribution (fusible ou disjoncteur).
– Ne pas utiliser la cavité du four comme espace de
rangement. Ne pas laisser dans le four des produits en
papier, ustensiles de cuisine ou produits alimentaires,
lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé.
PRÉCAUTIONS CONTRE LE RISQUE D’EXPOSITION
EXCESSIVE À L’ÉNERGIE DES MICRO-ONDES
(a) Ne pas tenter de faire fonctionner ce four lorsque la porte
est ouverte, car ceci pourrait susciter une exposition
dangereuse à l’énergie des micro-ondes. Il est important
de ne pas entraver le fonctionnement correct du dispositif
de verrouillage de sécurité.
(b) Ne pas placer d’objet entre la surface avant du four et la
porte, et ne jamais laisser des souillures ou résidus de
produits de nettoyage s’accumuler sur les surfaces
d’étanchéité.
(c) Ne pas faire fonctionner le four lorsqu’il est endommagé. Il
est particulièrement important que la porte du four ferme
convenablement et que les composants suivants ne soient
pas endommagés :
(1) Porte (déformation),
(2) Charnières et dispositif de verrouillage (brisés ou
desserrés),
(3) Joints de porte et surfaces d’étanchéité.

Spécifications électriques
Le four à micro-ondes est connecté du côté 110 volts du circuit
de 240 volts requis pour le four inférieur. Si la tension d’entrée au
four à micro-ondes est inférieure à 110 volts, les temps de
cuisson risquent de s'allonger. Demander à un électricien qualifié
de vérifier votre système électrique.
PIÈCES ET CARACTÉRISTIQUES
Ce manuel couvre différents modèles. Le four que vous avez acheté peut comporter tous les articles énumérés ou seulement certains
d'entre eux. L’emplacement et l’apparence des caractéristiques illustrées peuvent ne pas correspondre à ceux de votre modèle.
Pour un four à micro-ondes raccordé en
permanence :
Le four à micro-ondes doit être raccordé à un système
de câblage permanent en métal relié à la terre, ou le
câblage d'alimentation doit inclure un conducteur de
liaison à la terre connecté à la borne ou à un fil de
liaison à la terre sur le four à micro-ondes.

MODULE DE COMMANDE DU FOUR À MICRO-ONDES
UTILISATION DU FOUR À MICRO-ONDES
Un magnétron dans le four à micro-ondes produit des micro-
ondes qui rebondissent de la base, des parois et de la voûte en
métal et qui passent à travers le plateau rotatif et les ustensiles
de cuisson appropriés pour atteindre l’aliment. Les micro-ondes
sont attirées et absorbées par le gras, le sucre et les molécules
d’eau dans les aliments et font déplacer ces molécules, en
produisant une friction et une chaleur qui fait cuire les aliments.
■ Pour éviter d’endommager le four à micro-ondes, ne pas
s’appuyer ou laisser les enfants se balancer sur la porte du
four à micro-ondes.
■ Pour éviter d’endommager le four à micro-ondes, ne pas faire
fonctionner le four à micro-ondes à vide.
■ Les biberons et les petits pots d’aliments pour bébés ne
doivent pas être chauffés dans le four à micro-ondes.
■ Les vêtements, fleurs, fruits, herbes, gourdes, le bois, le
papier - y compris les sacs en papier brun et les journaux - ne
doivent pas être séchés dans le four à micro-ondes.
■ La paraffine ne fondra pas dans le four à micro-ondes car elle
n’absorbe pas les micro-ondes.
■ Utiliser des mitaines de four ou des maniques lors de
l’enlèvement de contenants du four à micro-ondes.
■ Ne pas faire cuire les pommes de terre excessivement. À la
fin de la durée de cuisson recommandée, les pommes de
terre devraient être légèrement fermes. Laisser les pommes
de terre reposer pendant 5 minutes. Elles achèveront de cuire
pendant cette période.
■ Ne pas faire cuire ou réchauffer des œufs entiers avec leur
coquille. La vapeur accumulée dans les œufs entiers pourrait
les faire éclater, ce qui exigerait le nettoyage significatif de la
cavité du four à micro-ondes. Recouvrir les œufs pochés et
les laisser reposer.
Caractéristiques des aliments
Lors de la cuisson au four à micro-ondes, la quantité, la taille, la
forme, la température de début, la composition et la densité de
l’aliment affectent les résultats de cuisson.
Quantité d’aliments
Les quantités plus grandes d’aliments nécessitent des durées de
cuisson plus longues.Vérifier le degré de cuisson et prolonger
légèrement la durée si nécessaire.
Taille et forme
Des morceaux plus petits d’aliments cuiront plus vite que les
gros morceaux, et les aliments uniformes cuiront plus également
que les aliments de forme irrégulière.
Température de début
Les aliments à température ambiante chaufferont plus vite que
les aliments réfrigérés, et les aliments réfrigérés chaufferont plus
vite que les aliments congelés.
Composition et densité
Les aliments à haute teneur en gras et en sucre atteindront une
température plus élevée et chaufferont plus vite que les autres.
Les aliments lourds et denses, tels que la viande et les pommes
de terre, nécessitent un temps de cuisson plus long qu’un
aliment de la même taille, léger et poreux tel que les gâteaux.
