About Unpacking and Examining Your DrawerMicro
Oven
1. Remove all packing materials from inside the DrawerMicro Oven. DO NOT REMOVE
THE WAVEGUIDE COVER, which is located on the top of the DrawerMicro Oven.
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 DrawerMicro Oven 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.
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 QUALI-
FIED 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 service person.
NOTE:
• If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions, consult a qualified electrician or serviceperson.
• Neither Viking Range, LLC 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 DrawerMicro Oven to your radio or TV, check that the DrawerMicro Oven
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 DrawerMicro Oven
ALWAYS have food in the DrawerMicro Oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the DrawerMicroOven must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of
the vent.
When using the DrawerMicroOven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It is
normal for the exterior of the DrawerMicro Oven 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 DrawerMicro Oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as
uncovered ones.
The DrawerMicro Oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your DrawerMicro Oven 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 DrawerMicroOven quickly, food in the DrawerMicroOven may be spilled. To clean, please
refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 23.

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 microwave drawer. 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
DrawerMicro Oven. 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 (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 DrawerMicro Oven:
• 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 DrawerMicro oven.
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. 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.

About Foods
Food Do Don't
Eggs,
sausages, nuts,
seeds, fruits &
vegetables
• Puncture egg yolks before cooking to prevent
“explosion”.
• Pierce skins of potatoes, apples, squash, hot dogs
and sausages so that steam escapes.
• Cook eggs in shells.
• Reheat whole eggs.
• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.
Popcorn • Use specially bagged popcorn for the microwave.
• Listen while popping corn for the popping to slow
to 1 or 2 seconds or use special Sensor Popcorn
pad.
• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or
glass bowls.
• Exceed maximum time on popcorn
package.
Baby food
• Transfer baby food to small dish and heat carefully,
stirring often. Check temperature before serving.
• Put nipples on bottles after heating and shake
thoroughly. “Wrist” test before feeding.
• Heat disposable bottles.
• Heat bottles with nipples on.
• Heat baby food in original jars.
General
• Cut baked goods with filling after heating to
release steam and avoid burns.
• Stir liquids briskly before, during and after heating
to avoid “eruption”.
• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to
prevent boilovers.
• Food should be shorter than the DrawerMicro
Oven. Please refer to the height of side walls of the
drawer.
• Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air tight
containers.
• Can in the microwave as harmful bacteria
may not be destroyed.
• Deep fat fry.
• Dry wood, gourds, herbs or wet papers.
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.
170˚F (74˚C) White 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.
