rized Servicer for examination, repair or adjustment.
10. Do not cover or block any openings on the appliance.
11. Do not store or use this appliance outdoors. Do not
use this product near water—for example, near a
kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming
pool or similar locations.
12. Do not immerse cord or plug in water.
13. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
14. Do not climb or sit on the drawer.
15. Be sure that ngers or other objects or materials
are not around the drawer opening when the Appliance is closed.
16. Do not put ngers or clothes around the drawer
guides when the Appliance is opened or closed.
They could be caught in the guides when the
drawer is closed.
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave
energy:
17. Be sure that the food and container are shorter
than the Appliance before closing it. You can refer
to the height of the side walls of the drawer.
18. When cleaning drawer sealing surfaces that come
together on closing the drawer, use only mild, nonabrasive soaps or detergents applied with a sponge
or soft cloth. See cleaning instructions on page 15.
19. To reduce the risk of re in the Appliance cavity:
a. Do not overcook food. Carefully attend appli-
ance when paper, plastic or other combustible
materials are placed inside the drawer to facilitate cooking.
b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic
bags before placing bag in Drawer.
c. If materials inside the Appliance ignite, keep
drawer door closed, turn microwave off and
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker
panel.
d. Do not use the drawer for storage purposes.
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils,
or food in the Drawer when not in use.
20. Liquids, such as water, coffee or tea are able to
be overheated beyond the boiling point without
appearing to be boiling due to surface tension of
the liquid. Visible bubbling or boiling when the
container is removed from the Appliance is not
always present. THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY
HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN
A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID.
To reduce the risk of injury to persons:
a. Do not overheat the liquid.
b. Stir the liquid both before and halfway through
heating it.
c. Do not use straight-sided containers with
narrow necks. Use a wide-mouthed container.
d. After heating, allow the container to stand
in the Drawer for at least 20 seconds before
removing the container.
e. Use extreme care when inserting a spoon or
other utensil into the container.
21. If the Appliance light fails, consult a DACOR
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.

About Your Microwave In-ADrawer
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 condensation
as uncovered ones.
™
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 15.
About Microwave Cooking
Doneness signs 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.
™
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 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.

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•
heat-resistant glass (Pyrex•
microwave-safe plastics•
microwave-safe paper plates•
microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain•
browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheat-•
ing 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•
®
), such as Corningware
®
)
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 bag so steam can escape.
®
HOW TO USE ALUMINUM FOIL IN YOUR
DRAWER:
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 so that they
meet your needs. A microwave-safe 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 Drawer when accessories are used.
Open Or Close Drawer
Always press the OPEN or CLOSE pad 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: use potholders, remove coverings carefully, 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 13 for Control Lock feature.
Small at pieces of aluminum foil placed smoothly on •
the food can be used to shield areas that are either
defrosting or cooking too quickly.
Foil should not come closer than one inch to any sur-•
face of the Microwave In-A-Drawer™.

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•
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 15.

Manual Defrost
If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the
AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to
defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact
3-step procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL on
page 8. Estimate defrosting time and press POWER LEVEL
pad eight times for 30% power.

well and let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule
of thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For
example, defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.
™
Always stop the Microwave In-A-Drawer
to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted.
If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated
defrosting time, program the Microwave In-A-Drawer™
in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally
defrosted.
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost
only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to
place in a microwave-safe dish.
