TIME COOKING

Your MicroDrawer® microwave oven can be programmed for 99 minutes 99 seconds (99.99). Always enter the seconds after the minutes, even if they are both zeros.

• Suppose you want to cook for 5 minutes at 100%.

1. Enter cooking time
2. To cook at 100% power (High), touch START (+1 min) pad.

TO SET POWER LEVEL

There are eleven preset power levels.

Using lower power levels increases the cooking time, which is recommended for foods such as cheese, milk and long slow cooking of meats. Consult a microwave cookbook or recipes for specific recommendations.

1. Enter defrost time

SENSOR SETTINGS

The sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

1. After the MicroDrawer® microwave oven is plugged in, wait 2 minutes before using any sensor setting.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the MicroDrawer® microwave oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room temperature.

4. Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 15.

5. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked following the guidelines in any microwave cookbook.

6. During the first part of sensor use, the food name will appear on the display. Do not open the drawer or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted. If this occurs, an error message will appear. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and cook manually.

When the sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, the remainder of cooking/reheating time will appear. The drawer may be opened when the remaining time appears on the display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

7. Except for Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect vapor properly when cooking other foods, will be displayed, and the microwave will turn off.

8. Check food temperature after cooking. If additional time is needed, continue to cook manually.

Cleaning and Care

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE

Always wipe or rub in the direction of the grain. The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on to it. Follow package directions carefully.

FRONT SIDE OF THE DRAWER

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain, streak or dull the drawer surface.

TOUCH CONTROL PANEL

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Panel Lock information on page 15 of this manual. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close drawer and follow directions on page 15 for turning Panel Lock off. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

INTERIOR

Before cleaning the MicroDrawer® microwave oven, touch and hold the Panel Lock button for 3 seconds to lock the control pad and the automatic door mechanism. The drawer can be locked in either the open or closed position. The display will show . This will prevent the drawer from accidentally opening or closing during cleaning. After cleaning, touch and hold the Panel Lock button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will show .

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or spattering. To clean the interior surfaces, including drawer sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

MICRODRAWER® MICROWAVE OVEN GUIDES

Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the drawer opening and closing smoothly.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

CAUTION: The waveguide cover, located on the inside top of the drawer area, is made from mica, so it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the drawer. To remove odor, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass microwave-safe measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power. Leave in the drawer until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
