About Unpacking and Examining Your Microwave Built-in Drawer 1 Remove all packing materials from inside the Microwave Built- in Drawer. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the top of the Microwave Built-in Drawer. 2 Check the drawer for any damage, such as misaligned or bent drawer, damaged drawer seals or sealing surfaces, broken or loose drawer guides and dents inside the cavity or on the front side of the drawer. If there is any damage, do not operate the Microwave Built-in Drawer. Contact your dealer or a Gaggenau Customer Support. Radio or TV Interference Should there be any interference to your radio or TV caused by the Microwave Built-in Drawer, check that the Microwave Built-in Drawer 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 receiv- ing 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 Microwave Built-in 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. 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 or servicer install an outlet near the appliance. If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or servicer. About Your Microwave Built-in Drawer ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Built-in Drawer when it is on to absorb the microwave energy. The vent under the Microwave Built-in Drawer must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of the vent. When using the Microwave Built-in Drawer at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven 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 microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. The Microwave Built-in Drawer is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your Microwave Built-in Drawer is rated 950 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or pack- age 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 16. 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 Waveguide CoverSealing SurfaceOven CavitySealing Surface Information You Need to Know5 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 Microwave Built-in Drawer 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.

oneness signs include: - Food steams throughout, not just at edge. - C enter bottom of dish is very hot to the touch. - P oultry thigh joints move easily. - M eat and poultry show no pinkness. - F ish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, tech- niques, 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 Microwave Built-in Drawer. 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 preheat- ing 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

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 reheat- ing 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 Microwave Built-in Drawer: 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 microwave oven. 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 doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Gaggenau is not responsible for any damage to the Microwave Built-in Drawer when accessories are used. About Safety Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture's recommended tempera- tures. 145˚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. ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when han- dling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat6 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 Microwave Built-in Drawer while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food. NEVER use the Microwave Built-in Drawer 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 16 for cleaning and care information. About Children and the Microwave Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room. The child must be able to reach the microwave oven comfortably. At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the Microwave Built-in Drawer. Children should be taught all safety precautions: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot. Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything. Children need to learn that the Microwave Built-in Drawer is not a toy. See page 14 for Panel Lock feature. About Foods Food Do Don’t Eggs, sausages, fruits & vegetables Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent “explosion”. Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs and sausages so that steam escapes. Cook eggs in shells. Reheat whole eggs. Dry nuts or seeds in shells. Popcorn Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave. Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow to 1 or 2 seconds or use special POPCORN pad. Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls. Exceed maximum time on popcorn package. Baby food Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully, stirring often. Check temperature before serving. Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding. Heat disposable bottles. Heat bottles with nipples on. Heat baby food in original jars. General Cut baked goods with filling after heating to release steam and avoid burns. Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”. Use deep bowl when cooking liquids or cereals to prevent boilovers. Food should be shorter than the drawer. Please refer to the height of side walls of the drawer. Heat or cook in closed glass jars or airtight containers. Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria may not be destroyed. Deep fat fry. Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.7

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 9. 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 spa- ghetti 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.13 More Chart Food Amount Procedure 1 Reheat Fresh Rolls/Muffins

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 exte- rior 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 14 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 14 for turning Panel Lock off. Touch STOP/CLEAR. Interior Before cleaning the Microwave Built-in Drawer, 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. Microwave Built-in Drawer 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 ATTENTION 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.17 Please check the following before calling for service. It may save you time and expense.
