READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

■ Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can burn off the pad and touch electrical parts involving risk of electric shock.
■ Do not climb or sit on the appliance.
- Keep fingers or other objects away from the appliance opening when closing the door.
■ Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides when the appliance is opened or closed because they

■ Be sure that the food and containers are shorter than the drawer before closing it. You can refer to the height of the side walls of the drawer.
■ As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary when used by children
■ Be careful when touching the floor, door and walls of the oven which may become hot during use.

ARCING

If you see arcing, press the Stop/Clear pad and correct the problem.

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in the oven. Arcing is caused by:

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the oven.
■ Plates or dishes with metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen.

■ Foil not molded to food.
■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins or gold-rimmed dishes, in the microwave.
■ Recycled paper towels containing small metal pieces being used in the microwave.

FOODS

■ Do not pop popcorn in your drawer microwave unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.
■ Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—are able to explode and should not be heated in this drawer microwave. Such use of the drawer microwave could result in injury.
■ Do not operate the microwave without food inside the oven.
- Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets and egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.
■ Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid off. Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula. The container may feel cooler than the formula really is. Always test the formula before feeding the baby.

■ SUPERHEATED WATER

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 drawer microwave 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 container with narrow necks.
— After heating, allow the container to stand in the drawer microwave for a short time before removing the container.
— Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other utensil into the container.

■ Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch fire, causing damage to your oven.

■ Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160^ F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180^ F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

COOKWARE

■ Make sure all cookware used in your drawer microwave is suitable for microwaving. Most glass casseroles, cooking dishes, measuring cups, custard cups, pottery or china dinnerware which does not have metallic trim or glaze with a metallic sheen can be used. Some cookware is labeled "suitable for microwaving."
■ If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
■ Some foam trays (like those that meat is packaged on) have a thin strip of metal embedded in the bottom. When microwaved, the metal can burn the floor of the oven or ignite a paper towel.
■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use in microwave ovens. Check the package for proper use.
■ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic wrap can be used to cover dishes in order to retain moisture and prevent spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap so steam can escape.

■ Be careful when opening containers of hot food. Use potholders and direct steam away from face and hands.
■ Vent, pierce, or slit containers, pouches, or plastic bags to prevent build-up of pressure.
■ Plastic cookware—Plastic cookware designed for microwave cooking is very useful, but should be used carefully. Even microwave-safe plastic may not be as tolerant of overcooking conditions as are glass or ceramic materials and may soften or char if subjected to short periods of overcooking. In longer exposures to overcooking, the food and cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only and use them in strict compliance with the cookware manufacturer's recommendations.
2. Do not microwave empty containers.
3. Do not permit children to use plastic cookware without complete supervision.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

—Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

This appliance 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.

This appliance is equipped with a power cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualified electrician or service technician if the GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

If the outlet is a standard 2-prong wall outlet, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or service technician install an outlet near the appliance.

For best operation, plug this appliance into its own electrical outlet to prevent flickering of lights, blowing of fuse or tripping of circuit breaker.

ADAPTER PLUGS

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected infrequently.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded wall receptacle by the use of a UL listed adapter which is available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.

You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Usage situations where appliance's power cord will be disconnected frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because frequent disconnection of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. You should have the 2-prong wall receptacle replaced with a 3-prong (grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician before using the appliance.

PACEMAKERS

Most pacemakers are shielded from interference from electronic products, including microwaves. However, patients with pacemakers may wish to consult their physicians if they have concerns.

Sensor features.

The Sensor Features detect the increasing humidity released during cooking. The oven automatically adjusts the cooking time to various types and amounts of food.

Do not use the Sensor Features twice in succession on the same food portion—it may result in severely overcooked or burnt food. Be sure to let the oven cool down for 5-10 minutes before starting the next sensor cook.

If food is undercooked after the countdown, use time cooking for additional cooking time.

• The proper containers and covers are essential for best sensor cooking.
• Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids or vented plastic wrap. Never use tight-sealing plastic covers—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause food to overcook.
• Be sure the outside of the cooking container and the inside of the drawer microwave are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Covered

Vented

Dry off dishes so they don't mislead the sensor.

Using Sensor Settings:

• After the Drawer Microwave is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting.
• Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the Drawer Microwave are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.
• The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.
• Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 17.
• More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.
• During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the Drawer Microwave or touch Stop/Clear during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the Stop/Clear pad and cook manually.

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, you need to defrost manually.

You can 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.

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Stainless Steel Surface

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 Control Lock information on page 17 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 17 for turning Control Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.

Interior

Before cleaning the the Drawer Microwave, touch and hold the Control 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 Control 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.

Drawer Microwave Guides

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

Waveguide Cover

ATTENTION: The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the Drawer Microwave 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.

Odor Removal

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Drawer Microwave. 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 Microwave until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
