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 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 (cookie sheets / brownie pans)

• 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

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.

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. Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for any damage to the DrawerMicro Oven when accessories are used.

Child Safety

• Children below the age of 7 should use the DrawerMicro Oven 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 DrawerMicro Oven comfortably.

• At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the DrawerMicro Oven.

• 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.

• Don't assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

• Children need to learn that the DrawerMicro Oven is not a toy. See page 21 for Control Lock feature.

Food Safety

• 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 DrawerMicro Oven and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to ﬁnish cooking without overcooking.

• 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.

180˚F (74˚C) 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 DrawerMicro Oven while it is in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the oven 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 ﬁres.

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 13. Estimate defrosting time and Touch Power Level pad eight times for 30% power.

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 oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven 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.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your DrawerMicro Oven must be kept clean and maintained properly. Disconnect the power cord before cleaning or leave the door open to inactivate the oven during cleaning.

Exterior

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive cleaner.

Stainless Steel Surface

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 keys may be deactivated before cleaning. See the Control Lock information on page 21 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 21 for turning Control Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.

Interior

Before cleaning the the DrawerMicro Oven, touch and hold the Control 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 touch and hold the Control 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.

Drawer Guides

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

Waveguide Cover

ATTENTION

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 DrawerMicro Oven. 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 DrawerMicro Oven until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft cloth.
