ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS

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.

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 28 for Child Lock feature.

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

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.
