GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
risk of electric shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. The appliance 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

4
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the
appliance is properly grounded, and either:
1) If it is necessary to use an extension cord,
use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade 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, or 2) 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 appliance.
Electrical Requirements
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz,
AC only, 20 amp. It is recommended that a
separate circuit serving only the oven be
provided. The oven is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall
receptacle that is properly installed and
grounded.
Power Supply Cord
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 care is
exercised in their use.
3. If long cord or extension cord is used：
a) The marked electrical rating of the cord
set or extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b) 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 counter top or table top where
it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
unintentionally.

microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that
the microwave oven is on a different circuit,
relocated the radio or TV as far away from the
oven as feasible or check position and signal of
receiving antenna.
UTENSILS GUIDE
This section lists which utensils can be used in
the microwave, which ones have limited use for
short periods, and which ones should not be
used in the microwave.
Recommended
·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.
·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.
Limited Use
· Aluminum foil —Use narrow strips of foil to
prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven,

5
prevent overcooking of exposed areas.
Using too much foil can damage your oven,
so be careful.
·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.
·Plastic —Use only if labeled “Microwave
Safe”. Other plastics can melt.
·Straw, wicker, and wood —Use only for
short-term heating, such as warming dinner
rolls for a few seconds. Baskets and bowls
may be flammable.
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.
Note: Should you wish to check if a dish is safe
for microwaving, place the empty dish in
the oven and microwave on HIGH for 30
seconds. A dish which becomes very
hot should not be used.

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 off 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.
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.

7
BEFORE YOU CALL FOR SERVICE
If the oven fails to operate:
A) Check to ensure that the oven is plugged in
securely. If it is not, remove the plug from the
outlet, wait 10 seconds and plug it in again
securely.
B) Check for a blown circuit fuse or a tripped
main circuit breaker. If these seem to be
operating properly, test the outlet with
another appliance.
C) Check to ensure that the control panel is
programmed correctly and the timer is set.
D) Check to ensure that the door is securely
closed engaging the door safety lock system.
Otherwise, the microwave energy will not
flow into the oven.
IF NONE OF THE ABOVE RECTIFIES THE SITUATION, THEN CONTACT A QUALIFIED
TECHNICIAN. DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THE OVEN YOURSELF.

MESURES PRÉVENTIVES IMPORTANTES
Vous devez, lors de l’utilisation d’appareils électriques, suivre certaines mesures de prévention,
dont celles qui suivent :
MISE EN GARDE --- Afin de réduire les risques de brûlure, électrocution, incendie ou tout type de
blessure corporelle, ainsi qu’une exposition dangereuse aux micro-ondes ;
1. Lire toutes les instructions contenues dans ce guide avant d’utiliser votre four à micro-ondes.
2. Lire et suivre les instructions spécifiques contenues à la section. “MESURES PRÉVENTIVES À
SUIVRE POUR ÉVITER TOUTE SUREXPOSITION AUX MICRO-ONDES”, que l’on peut
trouver à la page 1.
3. Choisissez une surface plate qui vous permet de dégager les ouvertures du four. Un espace minimal
de 3 pouces est nécessaire entre le four à micro-ondes et le mur. Un côté doit être dégagé. Laissez un
espace de 3 pouces au-dessus du four. Ne couvrez et n’obstruez pas des ouvertures de ventilation du
four. Ne retirez pas les pattes du four. Cet appareil doit être mis à la terre. Ne raccordez qu’à une
prise de courant munie d’une prise de terre adéquate. Référez vous à la section Branchez-le à une
prise de courant dotée de la mise à la terre. Référez-vous à la section “INSTRUCTIONS POUR
LA MISE À LA TERRE” que vous trouverez à la page 3.
4. Certains aliments tells que les oeufs entiers et les contenants scellés (les pots de verre fermés, par
exemple) peuvent éclater. Veuillez ne jamais les utiliser dans le four.
5. N’utilisez cet appareil que pour son usage prescrit dans ce guide. Ne faites pas chauffer ni
réchauffer de produits chimiques, dissolvants ou autres car les vapeurs qui s’en dégageraient
pourraient être corrosives. Ce type de four a été conçu à des fins commerciales ni industrielles
(usage en laboratoire).
6. Comme pour tout appareil électrique, vous devez superviser le fonctionnement de près lorsque des
enfants se servent du four à micro-ondes.
7. Afin de réduire les risques d’incendie à l’intérieur de la cavité du four:
a) Ne faites pas trop cuire les aliments. Veuillez surveiller la cuisson de près si vous recouvrez les
aliments de papier ciré ou d’une pellicule de plastique ou tout autre matériau servant à faciliter
la cuisson mais qui peut s’enfla,,mer dans le four.
b) Enlevez toujours les attaches de métal ou de plastique (pouvant contenir une broche de métal
au centre) des sacs plastique ou de papier avant de les placer dans le four.
c) Si les matériaux s’enflamment à l’intérieur de la cavité, gardez la porte fermée, mettez le four
hors tension et débranchez le cordon d’alimentation ou coupez le courant au niveau du
disjoncteur.
d) N’utilisez pas la cavité du four pour ranger des objets divers. N’y laissez pas du papier, des
ustensiles de cuisson ou de la nourriture, surtout lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas.
8. Si vous réchauffage des breuvages au micro-ondes, il est recommandé de manipuler les contenants
avec le plus grand soin car les boissons bouillantes pourraient déborder.
9. N’utilisez pas la micro-onde pour faire de la friture. Il est difficile de contrôler l’huile et ceci
risquerait de provoquer un incendie.
10. Percez les aliments qui ont une peau épaisse telle que les pommes de terre, les courges entières, les
pommes et les châtaignes avant de les cuire.
11. Le biberons et des petits pots de nourriture pour bébé doivent être brassés et la température vérifiée
afin d’éviter des brûlures graves.

12. L’ustensile de cuisson peut devenir chauds, car la chaleur se transfère à travers les aliments. Les
mitaines pour le four doivent être utilisées.
13. Ne recouvrez pas et n’obstruez pas les ouvertures de cet appareil.
14. N’entreposez pas cet appareil à l’extérieur. N’utilisez pas le four prés de sources d’humidité, par
exemple, prés d’un évier de cuisine, un sous-sol humide ou une piscine. N’utilisez pas l’appareil à
l’extérieur.
15. Ne faites jamais fonctionner l’appareil si son cordon d’alimentation (ou sa fiche) a été endommagé,
si celui-ci ne fonctionne pas adéquatement ou s’il a été endommagé, échappé ou immergé dans
l’eau.
16. N’immergez pas le cordon d’alimentation ni sa fiche dans l’eau.
17. Utilisez uniquement les thermomètres conçus spécifiquement pour la cuisson aux micro-ondes.
18. Ne faites fonctionner aucun appareil chauffant ou un électroménager sous cet appareil.
19. Assurez-vous que le plateau de verre et les roulettes-guedis sont en place lorsque vous faites
fonctionner l’appareil.
20. AVERTISSEMENT :
Ne tentez jamais de réparer vous-même cet appareil car ouvrir le couvercle de celui-ci pourrait
vous exposer à des tensons néfastes ou autres dangers similaires. Consultez un technicien
qualifié pour tout appel de service.
Cet appareil ne doit être réparé que par un technicien autorisé par RCA.
Communiquez avec le centre de service le plus prés de chez vous afin de le faire inspecter,
réparer ou ajuster.
INSTRUCTIONS DE MISE À LATERRE
Cet électroménager doit être mis à la terre. Dans l’éventualité d’un court-circuit, la mise à la terre réduite
les risques d’électrocution en procurant un moyen au courant électrique de s’échapper.
AVERTISSE MENT : L’utilisation inappropriée de la fiche de mise à la terre risque de provoquer une
électrocution.
Considérations électriques
Le four à micro-ondes nécessite une tension de 120V, 60Hz de 20 ampères. Il est recommandé d’utiliser
un circuit séparé qui ne servira qu’au four à micro-ondes. Le four est muni d’un cordon d’alimentation
ayant une fiche à trois broches avec mise à la terre. Il doit être branché à une prise de courant avec mise
à la terre, installée adéquatement.
Rallonge électrique
Si vous devez absolument vous servir d’une rallonge électrique, utilisez uniquement une rallonge
électrique à trois fils munis d’une fiche à trois broches avec prise de terre, que vous ne brancherez que
dans une prise de courant à trois ouvertures qui recevra complètement la fiche du four à micro-ondes. La
capacité électrique de la rallonge électrique devrait être égale ou supérieure à celle de l’appareil.

Remarques :
1. Pour toutes questions se rapportant à la mise à la terre ou au branchement électrique de votre
four à micro-ondes, consultez à un électricien qualifié.
2. RCA ou le marchand qui vous a vendu l’appareil ne pourront être tenus responsable des
dommages ou blessures qui pourraient survenir suite à une mauvaise installation électrique de
l’appareil.
Interférences produites par une radio un téléviseur
Il se peut que la réception d’un téléviseur ou d’un e radio soit mauvaise si le four est placé trop près de
l’antenne ou du fil d’antenne. Éloignez le four le plus possible de ces sources d’interférence.
GUIDE DES USTENSILES
Cette section énumère les ustensiles qui peuvent être utilisés micro-ondes, ceux qui sont recommandés
pour une utilisation limitée et ceux qui ne doivent pas être utilisés micro-ondes, ceux qui sont
recommandés pour une utilisation limitée et ceux qui ne doivent pas être utilisés aux micro-ondes.
Recommandés :
Les plats de brunissage – Peuvent être utilisés pour brunir l’extérieur des petits aliments tels les steaks,
les côtelettes ou les crêpes. Suivez les instructions incluses avec votre plat de brunissage.
La pellicule de plastique pour la micro-onde --- Peut être utilisé pour retenir l’humidité des aliments
pendant la cuisson. Laissez une petite ouverture pour laisser la vapeur s’échapper et évitez de le placer
directement sur les aliments.
Essuie-tout et serviettes de table en papier – Peuvent être utilisés pour une cuisson très courte à basse
température. N’utilisez pas de papier recyclé, celui-ci pourrait contenir des particules de métal et causer
un risque d’incendie.
Les plats de cuisson en verre ou en céramique à l’épreuve de la chaleur sont ceux que l’on utilise le
plus pour la cuisson par micro-ondes.
Les tasses et les assiettes en papier peuvent être utilisées brièvement, car une utilisation prolongée peut
causer un incendie à l’intérieur du four. Les papiers recyclés contiennent des impuretés qui peuvent
causer un amorçage d’arc, risquant d’endommager le four.
Le papier ciré est le plus recommandé pour éviter les éclaboussures dans la cavité du four.
Les thermomètres conçus spécifiquement pour l’utilisation au four à micro-ondes peuvent être utilisés
en toute sécurité dans votre four. Vérifiez les aliments en plaçant le thermomètre à différents endroits.
Les thermomètres conventionnels peuvent être utilisés une fois que l’aliment est retiré du four.
