MICROWAVE DRAWER COOKING

•  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 Drawer. 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
•  microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain
•  browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating 

time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)
These items can be used for short time reheating of foods 

that have little fat or sugar in them:
•  wood, straw, wicker
DO NOT USE
•  metal pans and bakeware
•  dishes with metallic trim
•  non-heat-resistant glass
•  non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)
•  recycled paper products
•  brown paper bags
•  food storage bags
•  metal twist-ties
Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, 

place the empty dish in the oven and microwave on HIGH 

for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not 

be used.
The following coverings are ideal:
•  Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and 

absorbing fat while cooking bacon.
•  Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.
•  Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use 

can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic 

wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.
•  Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because 

heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.
•  Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that 

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on 

to absorb the microwave energy.
When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 

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

normal for the exterior of the Microwave 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 Microwave Drawer. 

Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation 

as uncovered ones. The vent under the Microwave Drawer 

must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come 

from the right side of the vent.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should 

not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 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 Drawer quickly,   

food in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, 

please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 30.

RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE

Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave 

Drawer to your radio or TV, relocate the radio or TV as far 

away from the Cooktop+Microwave Drawer as feasible or 

check position and signal of receiving antenna.

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 Microwave Drawer 

and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows 

the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
