IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE 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.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open
since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure
to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or
tamper with the safety interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and
the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on
sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly
important that the oven door close properly and that there
is no damage to the:
(1) Door (bent),
(2) Hinges and latches (broken or loosened),
(3) Door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone
except properly qualified service personnel.
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules.
This device complies with Industry Canada ICES-001.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Unpacking
1. Empty the microwave oven of any packing materials.
2. Clean the inside with a soft, damp cloth.
3. Check for damage, such as:
nA door that is not lined up correctly.
nDamage around the door.
nDents on the interior or exterior of the microwave oven.
If there is any damage, do not operate the microwave
oven until a designated service technician has checked
itandmade any needed repairs.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not remove
microwave inlet cover. See the “Parts and Features” section.
Location Requirements
IMPORTANT: The control side of the microwave oven is the
heavy side. Handle the microwave oven gently. The weight of the
microwave oven is over 35 lbs (15.9 kg).
nPlace the microwave oven on a cart, counter, table, or shelf
that is strong enough to hold the microwave oven and the
food and utensils you place inside it.
nThe microwave oven should be at a temperature above
50°F (10°C) for proper operation.
NOTE: Some models can be built into a wall or cabinet by using
one of the trim kits listed in the “Assistance or Service” section.
nDo not block the exhaust vents or air intake openings. Allow
a few inches of space at the back and side of the microwave
oven where the exhaust vents are located. Blocking the
exhaust vents could cause damage to the microwave oven
as well as poor cooking results.
nMake sure the microwave oven legs are in place to ensure
proper airow. If vents are blocked, a sensitive thermal
device may automatically turn the microwave oven off. The
microwave oven should work properly once it has cooled.
Electrical Requirements
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Required:
nA 120 V, 60 Hz AC only, 15 A or 20 A electrical supply with a
fuse or circuit breaker.
Recommended:
nA time-delay fuse or time-delay circuit breaker.
nA separate circuit serving only this microwave oven.
WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
microwave oven.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■ For all cord connected appliances:
The microwave oven 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. The microwave oven is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug
must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded.
WARNING: Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether
the microwave oven is properly grounded.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the microwave oven. A short power supply
cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

MICROWAVE OVEN USE
A magnetron in the microwave oven produces microwaves which
reect 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.
nParafn 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
signicant 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, 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 tails. 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.

Le poids du four à micro-ondes est supérieur à 35lb (15,9kg).
nPlacer le four à micro-ondes sur un chariot, un plan de
travail, une table ou une tablette sufsamment solide pour
supporter le four à micro-ondes ainsi que les aliments et
ustensiles placés à l’intérieur.
nLe four à micro-ondes doit se trouver à une température
supérieure à 50°F (10°C) pour un fonctionnement correct.
REMARQUE: Certains modèles peuvent être encastrés dans
un mur ou une armoire à l’aide d’un des ensembles de nition
mentionnés dans la section «Assistance ou dépannage».
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.

INSTRUCTIONS DE LIAISON
À LA TERRE
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.
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.
