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.
WARNING:
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of
electric shock.
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.
NOTE:
• 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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

6 E
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.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW

7E
COOKING SAFETY
Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States
Department of Agriculture's recommended temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
145˚F (63˚C) Fish
160˚F (71˚C) Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg
dishes
165˚F (74˚C) For leftover, ready-to-reheat
refrigerated, and deli and carry-out
“fresh” food. Whole, pieces and ground
turkey/chicken/duck.

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 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.

in the chart below.
NOTE:
• Defrost can be programmed with More or Less Time
Adjustment. See page 16.
• To defrost other foods or foods above or below the weights
allowed on the Defrost Chart, see Manual Defrost below.
• Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small
sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do
not cook until all ice crystals are thawed.
• Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the
center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips
of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of
the food.
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 10.
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.

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 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 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 Microwave 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 position. 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 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.
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.
