GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
• This appliance must be ground-
ed. The MicroDrawer
micro-
®
wave oven is equipped with a
cord having a grounding wire
with a grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall recep-
tacle that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance
with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock. Do not use an extension cord.
If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an outlet near the appliance.
• If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical
instructions, consult a qualified electrician.

ALWAYS have food or water in the MicroDrawer
oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the MicroDrawer
be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the
right side of the vent.
When using the MicroDrawer
levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on
and off. It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven 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 microwave oven. Gener-
ally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones.

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 MicroDrawer
microwave oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing
