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.
• WARNING – Improper
use of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric
shock. Do not use an exten-
sion 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 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 Micro-
wave. 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 direc-
tions, 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 Clean-
ing 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.
