IMPORTANT INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT UNPACKING AND EXAMINING YOUR
DRAWER MICROWAVE
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the Drawer
Microwave. DO NOT REMOVE THE WAVEGUIDE COVER,
which is located on the top of the Drawer Microwave.
2. Remove the feature sticker, if there is one. Check the
drawer for any damage, such as misaligned or bent
drawer, damaged drawer seals and sealing surfaces,
broken or loose drawer guides and dents inside the cavity
or on the front side of the drawer. If there is any damage,
do not operate the Drawer Microwave and contact your
AUTHORIZED SERVICER.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance must be grounded. The oven is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug.
It must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current.
Do not use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician or serviceman install
an outlet near the appliance. If you have any questions
about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a
qualified electrician or serviceperson.
• If you have any questions about the grounding or
electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or
serviceperson.
• Neither THOR nor the dealer can accept any liability for
damage to the oven or personal injury resulting from failure
to observe the correct electrical connection procedures.
RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there be any interference caused by the Drawer
Microwave to your radio or TV, check that the Drawer
Microwave is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the
radio or TV as far away from the oven as feasible or check
position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR DRAWER MICROWAVE
ALWAYS have food in the Drawer Microwave when it is on to
absorb the microwave energy. The vent under the Drawer
Microwave must not be blocked.
During microwaving, steam may come from the right side
of the vent. When using the Drawer Microwave at power
levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling
on and off. It is normal for the exterior of the Drawer
Microwave 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
Drawer Microwave. Generally, covered foods will not cause
as much condensation as uncovered ones. The Drawer
Microwave is for food preparation only. It should not be
used to dry clothes or newspapers. Your Drawer Microwave
is rated 950 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 Drawer Microwave quickly, food in
the Drawer Microwave may be spilled. To clean, please
refer to the Cleaning and Maintenance section on page 18.
COOKWARE SAFETY
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may
cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes
should NEVER be used as potholders because they can
trail across hot surface elements and ignite or get caught
on appliance parts.
• DO NOT heat unopened food containers; buildup of
pressure may cause the container to explode and result in
injury.
• Use care when opening the drawer microwave. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer's
instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or its
cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during
cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.
The food could be contaminated. It is not necessary to buy
all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can
be used successfully in your new Drawer Microwave. Make
sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during
cooking.
5

IMPORTANT INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW
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 (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
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 need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist-ties.
Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.
How to use aluminum foil in your Drawer Microwave:
• Small flat 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 surface
of the Drawer Microwave. 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. THOR is not responsible for any damage to
the Drawer Microwave when accessories are used.
CHILD SAFETY
• Children below the age of 7 should use the Drawer
Microwave 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 Microwave comfortably.
• At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on
the Drawer Microwave.
• 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 Drawer Microwave is not a
toy. See page 16 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 Drawer Microwave
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.
6

IMPORTANT INFO YOU NEED TO KNOW
COOKING SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked
to the United States Department of
Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
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 Drawer Microwave 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.

Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer
when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking
equipment is no exception. Your Drawer Microwave 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 thatcthe 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 16
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 16 for turning Control Lock off.
Touch Stop/Clear.
DRAWER GUIDES
Remove the food crumbs from the drawer guides. Wipe
with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Drawer Micro-
wave opening and closing smoothly.
INTERIOR
Before cleaning the the Drawer Microwave, 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 posi-
tion. The display will show LOCK ON. This will prevent
the drawer from accidentally opening or closing during
cleaning. After cleaning, touch and hold the Control Lock
button for 3 seconds to turn the lock off. The display will
show LOCK OFF.
Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the in-
terior 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.
WAVEGUIDE COVER
ATTENTION The waveguide cover, located on the inside
top of the Drawer Microwave area, is made from mica,
so it 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 Drawer
Microwave. 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 Drawer
Microwave until water cools. Wipe interior with a soft
cloth.
