CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Carefully review all of these specifications and warnings BEFORE operating your microwave oven. Failure to do so may cause damage, injury, or bodily harm including permanent disability and/or death.
1. As with most cooking appliances, closely supervise use to reduce the risk of a fire in the oven.
2. To reduce the risk of fire while cooking, be sure to take the following additional precautions:
3. Do not overcook food. Carefully monitor the appliance when paper, plastic, or other com­bustible materials are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
4. Remove wire twist-ties and metal handles from paper or plastic containers/bags before plac­ing them in the oven.
5. If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed. Turn the oven o, and unplug the appliance. Disconnect the power cord, shut o power at the fuse or circuit breaker pan­el.
6. Do not use the oven cavity for storage purposes. Do not leave paper products, cooking uten­sils, or food in the oven when not in use.
7. This oven must be grounded with a properly grounded outlet. See the section “ELECTRICAL
GROUNDING"
8. Install or place this oven in strict accordance with the installation instructions provided.
9. Some products, such as whole eggs, and sealed containers such as a glass jars, are able to explode and should not be heated in the oven.
10. Use this appliance only for its intended uses as described in this manual. Do not use cor­rosive chemicals or vapors in or near the appliance. This oven is specifically designed to heat or cook or dry food in a home consumer setting. It is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
11. As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children.
12. Do not operate this oven if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged.
13. This appliance should only be serviced by qualified service technicians. Contact technical support for information regarding your closest authorized service center for further examina­tion, repair, or adjustment to your appliance.
14. Do not cover or block any openings on the oven.

IMPORTANT: ELECTRICAL GROUNDING
DANGER: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Touching the internal components of this oven can cause serious personal injury or even death. Do not disassemble this appliance.
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in electric shock. Do not plug the oven into an out­let unless the outlet is properly installed and grounded.
THREE-PRONGED (GROUNDING) PLUG
FRANÇAIS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a grounding-wire cord with the third, round grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the appliance. The marked rating of the extension cord shall be equal to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance.
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer cord sets or extension cords are available and may be used if done so with great care.
3. If a long cord set or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
Operation of the microwave oven may cause interference to your radio, TV or similar equipment. When there is interference, it may be reduced or eliminated by taking the following measures:
• Clean door and sealing surface of the oven
• Reorient the receiving antenna of radio or television.
• Relocate the microwave oven with respect to the receiver.
• Move the microwave oven away from the receiver.
• Plug the microwave oven into a dierent outlet so that microwave oven and receiver are on dierent branch circuits.
6
INSTALLING YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN
Before installation and operation:
• Remove all packing materials and accessories.
• Examine the oven for any damage such as dents or a broken door. If the unit is damaged, do not install. Contact technical support or the place of purchase.
• Remove any protective film found on the microwave oven cabinet surface.
Warning: Do not remove the light brown Mica cover that is attached to the oven cavity to protect the magnetron.
INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
1. Select a level and stable surface that provides enough open space for the intake and/or out­let vents. Blocking the intake and/or outlet openings can damage the oven. Do not place the oven where heat, moisture, or high humidity are generated.
• A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.5cm) is required between the oven and the adjacent walls. One side must be open for proper ven­tilation and heat dispersal.
• Leave a minimum clearance of 12 inches (30cm) above the oven.
• Place the oven as far away from radios and TVs as possible.

UTENSILS AND MATERIALS GUIDE
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.
1. Do not heat oil or fat for deep-frying. It is diicult to control the temperature of oil in micro­wave oven.
2. Pierce foods with heavy skins such as potatoes, whole squash, apples and chestnuts before cooking.
ENGLISH
3. The contents of feeding bottles and baby jars should be stirred or shaken and the tempera­ture should be checked before serving in order to avoid severe burns.
When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food aect cooking results. 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.
TESTING COOKWARE, UTENSILS, AND DINNERWARE FOR MICROWAVE USE
There may be certain non-metallic utensils, cookware, and dinnerware that are not safe to use for microwaving. If in doubt, you can test the utensil in question by following the procedure be­low.
1. Put cookware, utensils, or dinnerware in microwave oven with 1 cup (250 ml) of water beside it.
2. Cook at 100% cooking power for 1 minute. Note: When performing the test, do not exceed 1 minute cooking time.
3. Do not use cookware, utensils, or dinnerware if it becomes hot and the water stays cool.
RECOMMENDED MATERIALS
FRANÇAIS
• Microwave browning dish — Use to brown the exterior of small items such as steaks, chops, or pancakes. Follow the directions provided with your browning dish.
• Microwaveable plastic wrap — Use to retain steam. Leave a small opening for some steam to escape and avoid placing it directly on the food.
• Paper towels and napkins — Use for short-term heating and covering; these absorb excess moisture and prevent spattering. Do not use recycled paper towels, which may contain met­al and could ignite.
• Glass and glass-ceramic bowls and dishes — Use for heating or cooking.
• Paper plates and cups — Use for short-term heating at low temperatures. Do not use recy­cled paper, which may contain metal and could ignite.
• Wax paper — Use as a cover to prevent spattering.

ENGLISH
LIMITED USE
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.
• Aluminum foil — Use narrow strips of foil to prevent overcooking of exposed areas. Using
too much foil can damage your oven, so be careful. You should keep a distance of 1 inch (2.54cm) between aluminum foil and cavity.
• Ceramic, porcelain, and stoneware— Use these if they are labeled "Microwave Safe." If they are not labeled, test them to make sure they can be used safely.
FRANÇAIS
• Plastic — Use only if labeled "Microwave Safe." Other plastics can melt.
• Thermometers — Use only those labeled "Microwave Safe." and follow all directions. Check the food in several places. Conventional thermometers may be used on microwave food once the food has been removed from the oven.
NOT RECOMMENDED
• Glass jars and bottles — Regular glass is too thin to be used in a microwave. It can shatter and cause damage and injury.
• Paper bags — These are a fire hazard, except for popcorn bags that are designed for micro­wave use.
• Styrofoam plates and cups — These can melt and leave an unhealthy residue on food.
• Plastic storage and food containers — Containers such as margarine tubs can melt in the microwave.
• Metal utensils — These can damage your oven. Remove all metal before cooking.
• 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.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
Your microwave makes cooking easier than conventional cooking, provided you keep these con­siderations in mind:
STIRRING
Stir foods such as casseroles and vegetables while cooking to distribute heat evenly. Food at the outside of the dish absorbs more energy and heats more quickly, so stir from the outside to the center. The oven will turn o when you open the door to stir your food.
ARRANGEMENT
Arrange unevenly shaped foods, such as chicken pieces or chops, with the thicker, meatier parts toward the outside of the turntable where they receive more microwave energy. To prevent over­cooking, place delicate areas, such as asparagus tips, toward the center of the turntable.
SHIELDING
Shield food with narrow strips of aluminum foil to prevent overcooking. Areas that need shielding include poultry wing tips, the ends of poultry legs, and corners of square baking dishes. Use only small amounts of aluminum foil. Larger amounts can damage your oven.
ENGLISH
FRANÇAIS
TURNING
Turn foods over midway through cooking to expose all parts to microwave energy. This is espe­cially important with large foods such as roasts.
STANDING
Foods cooked in the microwave build up internal heat and continue to cook for a few minutes af­ter heating stops. Let foods stand to complete cooking, especially foods such as cakes and whole vegetables. Roasts need this time to complete cooking in the center without overcooking the outer areas. All liquids, such as soup or hot chocolate, should be shaken or stirred when cook­ing is complete. Let liquids stand a moment before serving. When heating baby food, stir well at removal and test the temperature before serving.
ADDING MOISTURE
Microwave energy is attracted to water molecules. Food that is uneven in moisture content should be covered or allowed to stand so that the heat disperses evenly. Add a small amount of water to dry food to help it cook.

ENGLISH
CLEANING AND CARE
• Turn o the oven and remove the power plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
• Keep the inside of the oven clean. When food splatters or spilled liquids adhere to oven
FRANÇAIS
walls, wipe with a damp cloth. Mild detergent may be used if the oven gets very dirty. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the door surface.
• The outside surfaces should be cleaned with a damp cloth. To prevent damage to the oper­ating parts inside the oven, water should not be allowed to seep into the ventilation open­ings.
• Wipe the window on both sides with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters.
• Do not allow the control panel to become wet. Clean with a so, damp cloth. When cleaning the control panel, leave oven door open to prevent oven from accidentally turning on.
• If steam accumulates inside or around the outside of the oven door, wipe with a so cloth. This may occur when the microwave oven is operated under high humidity conditions. In such case, it is normal.
• It is occasionally necessary to remove the glass tray for cleaning. Wash the tray in warm sudsy water or in a dishwasher.
• The turntable and oven floor should be cleaned regularly to avoid excessive noise. Simply wipe the bottom surface of the oven with mild detergent. The turntable may be washed in mild sudsy water or dishwasher. When removing the turntable from cavity floor for cleaning, be sure to replace in the proper position.
• Remove odors from your oven by combining a cup of water with the juice and peel of one lemon in a deep microwaveable bowl, microwave for 5 minutes. Wipe thoroughly and dry with a so cloth.
• When it becomes necessary to replace the oven light, please consult a dealer to have it re­placed.
• The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely aect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
• Please do not dispose this appliance into a domestic garbage receptacle; it should be dis­posed of at the particular disposal center provided by the municipalities.
