GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The Microwave Drawer
is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a
grounding plug. It must be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric
current.
– Improper
use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of
electric shock. Do not use
an extension cord. If the
power supply cord is too
short, have a qualied electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance.
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualied electrician or service person.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER
A LWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on
to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave Drawer must not be blocked.
During microwaving, steam may come from the left side
lower vent (when facing the product).
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below
100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the Microwave Drawer to be warm
to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking and
the amount being vented is directly related to the moisture
content of the food and room humidity. A cooler room will
produce more condensation. Attention should be paid to the
vented area after each use of the product and wiped down
if needed.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute
or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food
in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please
refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 19.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for
microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of
time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely
overcooked can smoke or ignite.
• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook even ly.
• Shield with small at pieces of aluminum foil any thin
areas of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before
dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible.
• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed
cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large
items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through
cooking both from top to bottom and from right to left.
