RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave
In-A-Drawer™ to your radio or TV, check to make sure that
the appliance is on a different electrical circuit, relocate
the radio or TV as far away from the drawer as feasible or
check the position and signal of receiving antenna.
About Your Microwave
In-A-Drawer
ALWAYS have food in the drawer when it is on to absorb
the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ must not be
blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the
right side of the vent.
When using the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ at power levels
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and
off. It is normal for the exterior of the 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 inuence
the amount of moisture that condenses in the drawer.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much
™
™
Sealing

Cavity
condensation as uncovered ones.
The Microwave In-A-Drawer™ is for food preparation only.
It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave In-A-Drawer™ is rated 950 watts by using
the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package
directions, check food one or two minutes before the
minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the Microwave In-A-Drawer
quickly, food in the drawer may be spilled. To clean,
please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 16.
™
About Microwave Cooking
• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards
outside of dish.
• Watch the 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 a recipe or
cookbook for suggestions like: paper towels, wax
paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent
spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
• Shield with small at 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 drawer and stir,
if possible. Cover during standing time, allowing the
food to nish cooking without overcooking.
• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that
cooking temperatures have been reached.
Signs of doneness include:
- Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
- Poultry thigh joints move easily.
- Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
- Fish is opaque and akes easily with a fork.

Information You Need To Know
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. 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 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 need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties.
Remember to slit the bag so steam can escape.
®
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
DRAWER:
• Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on
• Foil should not come closer than one inch to any
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
ACCESSORIES:
There are many microwave accessories available for
purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase to
make sure that they meet your needs. A microwavesafe thermometer will assist you in determining correct
doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked
to safe temperatures. Dacor is not responsible for any
damage to the appliance when accessories are used.
Open Or Close Drawer
Always press the OPEN or CLOSE key on the control panel
to open or close the drawer.
Do not push or pull the drawer by hand, except
in case of emergency, such as a power failure. If
necessary, push or pull slowly.
About Children And The
Microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the Microwave InA-Drawer™ with a supervising person very near to them.
Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person
should be in the same room. The child must be able to
reach the drawer comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or sit on the
Microwave In-A-Drawer™.
Children should be taught all safety precautions: how
to use potholders, remove coverings carefully and pay
special attention to packages that crisp food because they
may be extra hot.
Do not assume because a child has mastered one cooking
skill that he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ is
not a toy. See page 15 for Control Lock feature.

Information You Need To Know
About Safety
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.
160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, sh, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F - For leftovers, ready-to-reheat refrigerated; deli and carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F - White meat of poultry.
180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.
™
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a
thick or dense area away from fat or bone. NEVER leave
the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is
approved for microwave use.
• ALWAYS use potholders to prevent burns when
handling utensils that are in contact with hot food.
Enough heat from the food can transfer through
utensils to cause skin burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from
the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a
dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven
cooking bags away from the face.
• Stay near the Microwave In-A-Drawer
and check cooking progress frequently so that there is
no chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the Microwave In-A-Drawer™ for storing
cookbooks or other items.
• Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve
its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne
bacteria.
• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause
arcing and/or res. See page 16.
