AbOUT YOUR MICROWAvE IN A

dRAWER

ALWAYS have food in the Drawer when it is on to absorb the

microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave in a Drawer must not be blocked.

During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of

the vent.
When using the Microwave in a Drawer at power levels below

100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is

normal for the exterior of the drawer 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. Generally, covered foods

will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.
The Microwave in a Drawer is for food preparation only. It

should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave in a Drawer 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 Microwave in a Drawer quickly,

food in the Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the

Cleaning and Care section on page 18.

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. 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 and stir, if

possible. Cover for 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.

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. 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
