IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
When using the Microwave in a Drawer, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock,
fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
1 Read all instructions before using the appliance.
2 Read and follow the specific “PRECAUTIONS TO
AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE
MICROWAVE ENERGY” on page 2.
3 This appliance must be properly grounded. See separate
Installation Instructions for grounding instructions.
4 Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with
the provided Installation Instructions.
5 Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers
- for example, closed glass jars—are able to explode and
should not be heated in the drawer.
6 Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals or
vapors in this appliance. This microwave is specifically
designed to heat, cook or dry food. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use.
7 As with any appliance, close supervision is necessary
when used by children.
8 Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is not working properly or if it has been
damaged or dropped.
9 This appliance should be serviced only by qualified
service personnel. Contact nearest Dacor Authorized
Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10 Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11 Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not use
this product near water—for example, near a kitchen
sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool or similar
locations.
12 Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
13 Do not climb or sit on the drawer.
14 Be sure that fingers or other objects or materials are not
around the drawer opening when the Microwave in a
Drawer is closed.
15 Do not put fingers or clothes around the drawer guides
when the Microwave in a Drawer is opened or closed.
They could be caught in the guides when the drawer is
closed.
16 Be sure that the food and container are shorter than the
Microwave in a Drawer before closing it. You can refer
to the height of the side walls of the drawer.
17 When cleaning drawer sealing surfaces that come
together on closing the drawer, use only mild,
nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge
or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 18.
18 To reduce the risk of fire in the Microwave in a Drawer
cavity:
a Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appliance
when paper, plastic or other combustible materials
are placed inside the drawer to facilitate cooking.
b Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags
before placing bag in Drawer.
c If materials inside the Microwave in a Drawer ignite,
keep drawer door closed, turn microwave off and
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
d Do not use the drawer for storage purposes. Do not
leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in
the Drawer when not in use.
19 Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to be
overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing
to be boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed
from the Microwave in a Drawer is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS
SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN A SPOON
OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE
LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a Do not overheat the liquid.
b Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c Do not use straight-sided containers with narrow
necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d After heating, allow the container to stand in the
Drawer at least for 20 seconds before removing the
container.
e Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or other
utensil into the container.
20 If the Microwave in a Drawer light fails, consult a
DACOR AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
