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.
