PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES RISQUES D’EXPO-
SITION À UN EXCES DE MICRO-ONDES
a. NE PAS essayer de faire fonctionner le four avec la
porte ouverte car cela peut entraîner une exposition dangereuse aux micro-ondes. Il est important de ne pas modifier les verrouillages de sécurité ni d’entraver leur fonctionnement.
b. NE PAS placer d’objet entre le cadre avant du four
et la porte ni laisser de saletés ou de résidus de produit nettoyant s’accumuler sur les surfaces formant joint.
c. NE PAS utiliser le four s’il est endommagé. Il est
particulièrement important que sa porte ferme correctement et que les éléments suivants ne soient pas endommagés : (1) porte (faussée), (2) charnières et dispositifs de verrouillage (cassés ou présentant du jeu), (3) joints de la porte et surfaces formant joint.
d. Ce four ne doit PAS être réglé ni réparé par une
personne autre qu’un technicien de service après­vente dûment qualifié.
MESURES DE SECURITE IMPORTANTES
ATTENTION
!
Pour éviter tous dégâts matériels ou blessures, observer les consignes suivantes :
1. Pour éviter toute ébullition ou éruption spontanée, remuer vigoureusement ou verser les liquides avant de les chauffer au four à micro-ondes. Ne pas trop chauffer. Si de l’air n’a pas été incorporé dans le liquide, celui-ci peut déborder dans le four ou après en avoir été retiré.
7. Ne pas utiliser de thermomètre de cuisson pour four traditionnel dans le four. La plupart des thermomètres de cuisson contiennent du mercure qui peut causer des arcs électriques ou le mauvais fonctionnement du four, ou encore endommager celui-ci.
2. Ne pas faire de friture dans le four. La graisse pourrait surchauffer et devenir dangereuse à manipuler.
3. Les oeufs ne doivent pas être chauffés ou réchauffés au four à micro-ondes dans leur coquille ou avec leur jaune intact ; cela pourrait provoquer une accumulation de pression et l’éclatement de l’oeuf. Percer le jaune avec une fourchette ou un couteau avant la cuisson.
4. Percer la peau des pommes de terre, tomates et aliments similaires avant de les cuire au four à micro-ondes. Lorsque la peau est percée, la vapeur peut s’échapper uniformément.
5. Ne pas faire fonctionner l’appareil sans nourriture à l’intérieur.
6. Pour faire du pop-corn, utiliser uniquement du maïs en paquet spécial micro-ondes (indiqué sur l’étiquette). Le temps nécessaire pour faire éclater le maïs varie en fonction de la puissance du four. Ne pas continuer à faire chauffer le maïs une fois qu’il a fini d’éclater, car il peut brûler ou s’enflammer. Ne pas laisser le four sans surveillance.
8. Ne pas faire chauffer de biberon au four.
9. Ne pas utiliser d’ustensiles métalliques dans le four.
10. Ne jamais utiliser de papier, de plastique ni autre matériau combustible non prévu pour la cuisson.
11. Si la cuisson utilise du papier, du plastique ou autre matériau combustible, suivre les recommandations du fabricant concernant son utilisation.
12. Ne pas utiliser de serviettes en papier contenant du nylon ou autres fibres synthétiques. Ces fibres pourraient fondre et faire enflammer le papier.
13. Ne pas faire chauffer de récipients ni de sacs en plastique hermétiquement fermés dans le four. La nourriture ou le liquide pourrait gonfler rapidement et faire éclater le récipient ou le sachet. Percer ou ouvrir celui-ci avant de le faire chauffer.
14. Pour éviter toute défaillance de stimulateur cardiaque, prière de se renseigner auprès du médecin ou du fabricant du stimulateur au sujet des effets de l’énergie micro-ondes sur ce dispositif.

The quantity or volume of a food can affect the amount of cooking time. As the volume of the food is increased, the time required to cook or heat the item increases almost proportionately. If twice the amount of food is placed in the oven, it will take almost twice as long to cook. To deter­mine the time for larger quantities, multiply the individual serving time by the increased amount, then reduce the total heating time by about 20%.
The density of foods can greatly affect the amount of cooking time. Porous foods, such as breads, cakes or pastries, will heat much more quickly than dense meats of the same size. Porous foods absorb microwaves quickly throughout. Meats absorb microwaves mostly at the exterior surface, and the interior is heated by conduc­tion, increasing the cooking time. Meats can be cooked in a sauce, if desired. Due to the moisture content, a sauce will heat rapidly. The heat will transfer to the meat, so the meat will heat faster due to heat by conduction as well as by microwaves.
The starting temperature of foods affects the amount of cooking time. Each temperature degree that the food item is to raise must be supplied with a definite amount of energy. Lower initial starting temperatures require more energy and more time to cook. Therefore, refrigerator temperature foods require a longer cooking time than room temperature foods. Foods already slightly warm will heat very quickly in the oven.
Manipulation of Foods
Sometimes recipes suggest manipulating or moving food during cooking. There are several forms of manipulation:
Stirring is required less often in microwave cooking than in conventional cooking. In conventional cooking, you use a spoon to move food up from the bottom of a pan to evenly distribute the heat. In microwave cooking, you still stir to redistribute the heat within some foods, but you need to stir from the outside of a dish toward the inside or center. If a recipe states to stir once or twice during cooking, stir at approximately even intervals. For ex­ample, in a 12-minute cooking period, if a recipe states to stir twice, stir after 4 minutes of cooking and again, after 8 minutes of cooking. However, it is not necessary to be precise. Stir only when necessary. When using lower power levels or settings, less stirring is required. Some examples of foods which may require stirring are pud­dings, some casseroles, some sauces, some soups, and some egg dishes. Some foods can’t be stirred. These foods are rearranged or turned.
Some foods can’t be stirred and should be repositioned or rearranged during cooking. Some examples include baked potatoes, cupcakes (in custard cups), and chicken pieces. Rearranging allows for more even cooking of foods. Foods which are cooked, covered or which are cooked using lower power levels, usually require little rearranging.
The moisture content of foods affects the amount of cooking time. The higher the moisture content is in a food the longer the amount of cooking time.
The fat and sugar content of foods affects the amount of cooking time. Foods containing high fat and sugar levels heat very quickly and may reach much higher tempera­tures than foods having low fat and sugar levels. Foods having lower fat and sugar levels require longer cooking times.
The arrangement of food within a microwave oven cavity affects the way in which the food cooks. A “round” arrangement is best. Use round utensils whenever possible. Also, arrange foods such as baked potatoes in a circle, rather than in rows, for cooking. When only one food item is being cooked, place it in the center of the oven glass shelf for cooking.
Turning foods over: Turning foods over is done to distribute heat. Meat and poultry are two types of foods which are sometimes “turned over.” Examples include roasts, turkeys and whole chickens. Small meat items such as poultry pieces may need to be turned over when in casseroles, or when in a browning skillet.
