Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference to your radio or TV caused by the Drawer Microwave, check that the Drawer Microwave is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the drawer as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

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 Drawer Microwave 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.

Permanent and Correct Installation

WARNING

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 qualified electrician install an outlet near the appliance.

- If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

About Your Drawer Microwave

ALWAYS have food in the Drawer Microwave when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

The vent under the Drawer Microwave must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of the vent.

When using the Drawer Microwave at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off.

It is normal for the exterior of the Drawer Microwave to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the Drawer Microwave. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.

The Drawer Microwave is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

Your Drawer Microwave is rated 950 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. 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 drawer quickly, food in the drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 17.

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 may be used. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
  • Shield with small flat 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.

  • Add standing time. Remove food from Drawer Microwave and stir, if possible. Cover the food during standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
  • Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.

Doneness signs include:

  • Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
  • Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
  • Poultry thigh joints move easily.
  • Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
  • Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

- A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes.

About Utensils and Coverings

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new Drawer Microwave. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

  • glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®.
  • heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)
  • microwave-safe plastics
    • microwave-safe paper plates
  • microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
  • browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)

These items can be used for short time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

- wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware
• dishes with metallic trim
• non-heat-resistant glass
• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
• recycled paper products
- brown paper bags

  • food storage bags
  • metal twist-ties
    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.

The following coverings are ideal:

  • Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
  • Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
  • Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
  • Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
  • Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

How to use aluminum foil in your Drawer Microwave:

  • Small flat pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on the food can be used to shield areas that are either defrosting or cooking too quickly.
  • Foil should not come closer than one inch to any surface of the Drawer Microwave.

Accessories There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct done-ness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the Drawer Microwave when accessories are used.

About Safety

- Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.

145°F-Fish.
160°F-Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165°F-For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and deli and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces and ground turkey/chicken/duck.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.

BOSCH HMD8451UC - About Safety - 1

WARNING

  • ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
  • Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish's covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.
  • Stay near the Drawer Microwave while it's in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
  • NEVER use the Drawer Microwave for storing cookbooks or other items.
  • Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
  • Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires. See page 17 for cleaning and care information.
  • Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven.

About Children and the Microwave

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the Amount column on the Defrost Chart, defrost manually.

Defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under To Set Power Level on page 10. Estimate defrosting time and touch Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For

example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.

Cleaning and Care

Stainless Steel Surface

Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.

Front side of the Drawer

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the drawer surface.

Touch Control Panel

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Panel Lock information on page 15 of this manual. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close drawer and follow directions on page 15 for turning Panel Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.

Interior

Before cleaning the Drawer Microwave, touch and hold the Panel Lock button for 3 seconds to lock the control pad and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can be locked in either the open or closed position. The display will show LOCK ON. This will prevent the drawer from accidentally opening or closing during cleaning. After cleaning, touch and hold the Panel Lock button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will show LOCK OFF.

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the drawer. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the drawer until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.

Drawer Microwave Guides

Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the drawer opening and closing smoothly.

Waveguide Cover

BOSCH HMD8451UC - Waveguide Cover - 1

CAUTION

The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the drawer area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

What this Warranty Covers & Who it Applies to

The limited warranty provided by BSH Home Appliances Corporation (BSH) in this Statement of Limited Product Warranty applies only to the BOSCH Drawer Microwave sold to you, the first using purchaser, provided that the Product was purchased:

  • For your normal, household (non-commercial) use, and has in fact at all times only been used for normal household purposes.
  • New at retail (not a display, "as is", or previously returned model), and not for resale, or commercial use.
  • Within the United States or Canada, and has at all times remained within the country of original purchase.

The warranties stated herein apply only to the first purchaser of the Product and are not transferable. BSH reserves the right to request proof of purchase at the time any warranty claim is submitted to confirm that the Product falls within the scope of this limited product warranty.

Please make sure to return your registration card; while not necessary to effectuate warranty coverage, it is the best way for BSH to notify you in the unlikely event of a safety notice or product recall.

How Long the Warranty Lasts

BSH warrants that the Product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of purchase. The foregoing time line begins to run upon the date of purchase, and shall not be stalled, tolled, extended, or suspended, for any reason whatsoever.

This Product is also warranted to be free from cosmetic defects in material and workmanship (such as scratches of stainless steel, paint/porcelain blemishes, chips, dents, or other damage to the finish) of the Product, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of purchase or closing date for new construction. This cosmetic warranty excludes slight color variations due to inherent differences in painted and porcelain parts, as well as differences caused by kitchen lighting, product location, or other similar factors. This cosmetic warranty specifically excludes any display, floor, "As Is", or "B" stock appliances.

Repair/Replace as Your Exclusive Remedy

During this warranty period, BSH or one of its authorized service providers will repair your Product without charge to you (subject to certain limitations stated herein) if your Product proves to have been manufactured with a defect in materials or workmanship.

If you choose to have someone other than an authorized service provider work on your Product, THIS WARRANTY WILL AUTOMATICALLY BECOME NULL AND VOID. Authorized service providers are those persons or companies that have been specially trained on BSH products, and who possess, in BSH's opinion, a superior reputation for customer service and technical ability (note that they are independent entities and are not agents, partners, affiliates or representatives of BSH). Notwithstanding the foregoing, BSH will not incur any liability, or have responsibility, for the Product if it is located in a remote area (more than 100 miles from an authorized service provider) or is reasonably inaccessible, hazardous, threatening, or treacherous locale, surroundings, or environment; in any such event, if you request, BSH would still pay for labor and parts and ship the parts to the nearest authorized service provider, but you would still be fully liable and responsible for any travel time or other special charges by the service company, assuming they agree to make the service call.
