ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used success- fully in your new microwave 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

•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 reheat- ing of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• wood, straw, wicker

DO NOT USE

•metal pans and bakeware

•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 re- heating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

•Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.

•Plastic wrap that is specially marked for micro- wave use can be used for cooking and reheat- ing. 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 microwave 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 oven.

Should you have questions about utensils or coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave accesso- ries available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro- wave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when acces- sories are used.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave 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 oven comfortably; if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the oven door.

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 microwave oven is not a toy. See page 17 for Child Lock feature.
