RADIO OR TV INTERFERENCE
Should there  be  any  interference caused  by  the  Convection 
Microwave  Drawer  to  your  radio  or  TV,  check  that  the 
Convection Microwave Drawer is on a different electrical circuit, 
relocate the radio or TV as far away from the drawer as feasible 
or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
GROUNDING 
INSTRUCTIONS
The electrical requirements are a 120 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 
15 amp. or more protected electrical supply. 
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the 
Convection Microwave Drawer be provided. This appliance 
must  be  grounded.  The  Convection  Microwave  Drawer 
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.
 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 qualied electri-
cian or serviceperson install an outlet near the appliance.
If you have any questions about the grounding or electrical 
instructions, consult a qualied electrician or serviceperson.
ABOUT YOUR CONVECTION MICROWAVE 
DRAWER
A LWAYS have food in the Convection Microwave Drawer when 
it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Convection Microwave Drawer must not be 
blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the left 
side lower vent (when facing the product).
When using the Convection Microwave Drawer at power levels 
below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and off. It 
is normal for the exterior of the Convection Microwave Drawer 
to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking and the 
amount being vented is directly related to the moisture content 
of the food and room humidity. A cooler room will produce 
more condensation. Attention should be paid to the vented area 
after each use of the product and wiped down if needed.
After using Convection or Speed Cook, you will hear the sound 
of  the  cooling  fan.  The  fan  may continue to  operate  for  an 
extended period of time, depending on the oven temperature. Be 
aware that, unlike microwave-only ovens, convection microwave 
ovens have a tendency to become hot during Convection and 
Speed Cook. The oven is for food preparation only. It should 
not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
When using recipes or package directions, check food a minute 
or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the  Convection Microwave Drawer 
quickly,  food  in  the  Convection  Microwave  Drawer may be 
spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and Care section 
on page 35.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•  Arrange  food  carefully.  Place  thickest  areas  toward 
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.
•  Do not use metal dishes for microwave cooking. There is a 
risk of electric discharge or ignition.
