MICROWAVE DRAWER USE

A magnetron in the microwave drawer produces microwaves which reflect off the metal floor, walls, and ceiling and pass through the turntable and appropriate cookware to the food. Microwaves are attracted to and absorbed by fat, sugar, and water molecules in the food, causing them to move, producing friction and heat, which cooks the food.

  • To avoid damage to the microwave drawer, do not lean on or allow children to swing on the microwave drawer door.
  • To avoid damage to the microwave drawer, do not operate microwave drawer when it is empty.
  • Clothes, flowers, fruit, herbs, wood, gourds, paper, including brown paper bags and newspaper, should not be dried in microwave drawer.
  • The vent under the drawer must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come out of the right side of the vent.
  • It is normal for the exterior of the microwave drawer to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
  • Paraffin wax will not melt in the microwave drawer because it does not absorb microwaves.
  • Use oven mitts or pot holders when removing containers from microwave drawer.
  • Keep the microwave inlet cover clean: food residue can cause arcing and/or fires (see the "Microwave Drawer Cavity" section in "Microwave Drawer Care").
  • Baby bottles and baby food jars should not be heated in microwave drawer. Transfer baby food to a small microwavesafe dish and heat, stirring often.
  • Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs, and sausages so that steam escapes while cooking.
  • Do not overcook potatoes. At the end of the recommended cook time, potatoes should be slightly firm. Let potatoes stand for 5 minutes to finish cooking.
  • Do not cook or reheat whole eggs inside the shell. Steam buildup in whole eggs may cause them to burst, requiring significant cleanup of microwave drawer. Cover poached egs and allow a standing time

Food Characteristics

When microwave cooking, the amount, size and shape, starting temperature, composition and density of the food affect cooking results.

Amount of Food The more food heated at once, the longer the cook time needed. Check for doneness and add small increments of time if necessary.

Size and Shape Smaller pieces of food will cook more quickly than larger pieces, and uniformly shaped foods cook more evenly than irregularly shaped food.

Starting Temperature Room temperature foods will heat faster than refrigerated foods, and refrigerated foods will heat faster than frozen foods.

Composition and Density Foods high in fat and sugar will reach a higher temperature, and will heat faster than other foods. Heavy, dense foods, such as meat and potatoes, require a longer cooking time than the same size of a light, porous food, such as cake.

Microwave Cooking Power

Many recipes for microwave cooking specify which cooking power to use by percent, name, or number. For example, 70%=Medium-High. When using the microwave drawer at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off: this is normal microwave operation.

Use the following chart as a general guide for the suggested cooking power of specific foods.

PERCENT/ NAME POWER LEVEL PAD TOUCH USE
100%, High (default setting) Once Quick-heating convenience of foods with high water content, such as soups, beverages and most vegetables.
90% Twice

Cooking small tender pieces of meat, ground meat, poultry pieces, and fish fillets.

Heating cream soups.

80% Three times

Heating rice, pasta, or stirrable casseroles.

Cooking and heating foods that need a cook power lower than high. For example, whole fish and meatloaf.

70%, MediumHigh Four times Reheating a single serving of food.
60% Five times

Cooking sensitive foods such as cheese and egg dishes, pudding, and custards.

Cooking non-stirrable casseroles, such as lasagna.

50%, Medium Six times

Cooking ham, whole poultry, and pot roasts.

Simmering stews

40% Seven times

Melting chocolate.

Heating bread, rolls, and pastries

30%, MediumLow, Defrost Eight times Defrosting bread, fish, meats, poultry, and precooked foods.
20% Nine times Softening butter, cheese, and ice cream.
10%, Low Ten times Taking chill out of fruit.
0% Eleven times Sensor operation; no cook power.

Manual Cooking

To Use:

  1. Place food in the microwave drawer, and close the drawer.
  2. Enter the cook time in minutes and seconds. If cooking with 100% power, skip Step 3.
  3. Touch POWER LEVEL repeatedly to set the desired cooking power. See “Microwave Cooking Power.”
  4. Touch START. When the cycle ends, “END” will appear in the display, and the end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones. 5. Touch STOP or open the drawer to clear the display.

Cook time may be added in 1-minute increments during the cycle by touching Add 1 Min.

Sensor Cooking Information

A sensor in the microwave drawer detects humidity released from the food as it heats and adjusts the cook time accordingly.

Many sensor cycles require the covering of foods. Microwave-safe containers or steamers with loose-fitting lids are recommended. The loose-fitting lid allows enough steam to escape to be detected by the sensor. When covering foods with plastic wrap, be sure to leave a large enough vent opening to allow the steam to escape.

Sensor cooking options include Sensor Popcorn, Sensor Cook, and Sensor Reheat.

NOTES:

  • The microwave drawer should be plugged in for at least 3 minutes before using any sensor setting.
  • The microwave drawer cavity and the exterior of the cooking container should be dry.
  • The room temperature should not exceed 95°F (35°C).
  • Once the sensor cycle begins, the food name will appear on the display. If the drawer is opened during this time, sensing will stop and the program will be canceled. When sensing is complete, a remaining time will appear on the display. Once the time is displayed, you may open the drawer to stir or season food, if desired.
  • Check food temperature after cycle is complete. If additional time is needed, continue to cook using the manual settings.
  • Except when using Sensor Popcorn, if the sensor does not detect humidity properly, "ERROR" will be displayed, and the microwave drawer will turn off.
  • The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. If your food is frozen, it will need to be defrosted before using a sensor cycle.

Sensor Reheat

The sensor in the microwave drawer determines the reheating time based on the weight of the food being heated. Sensor Reheat will detect humidity and reheat food items from 4 to 36 oz (113-1020 g).

To Use Sensor Reheat:

  1. Place food, loosely covered, in the microwave drawer, and close the drawer.
  2. Touch SENSOR REHEAT.
  3. Touch START. When the cycle ends, “LET STAND COVERED” will appear in the display, and end-of-cycle tones will sound, followed by reminder tones.
  4. Touch STOP or open the drawer to clear the display.
