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 lev-
els below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cy-
cling 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 con-
denses in the Drawer Microwave. Generally, cov-
ered 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 news-
papers.
Your Drawer Microwave is rated 950 watts by us-
ing the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or
package directions, check food a minute or two
before the minimum time and add time accord-
ingly.
When opening or closing the Drawer Microwave
quickly, food in the Drawer Microwave may be
spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and
Care section on page 25.

Cookware Safety

• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders
may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or
other substitutes should NEVER be used as
potholders because they can trail across hot
surface elements and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.

plode and result in injury.

replacing food.

mediately discard the food and its container.
