The
proper
containers
and
covers
are
essential
for
best
sensor
cooking.
Always
use
microwave
‐
safe
containers
and
cover
them
with
lids
or
vented
plastic
wrap.
Never
use
tight
sealing
plastic
containers
—
they
can
prevent
steam
from
escaping
and
cause
food
to
overcook.
Be
sure
the
outside
of
the
cooking
containers
and
the
inside
of
the
microwave
oven
are
dry
before
placing
food
in
the
oven.
Beads
of
moisture
turning
into
steam
can
mislead
the
sensor.
Do
not
use
this
feature
twice
in
succession
on
the
same
food
portion
—
it
may
result
in
severely
overcooked
or
burnt
food.
ABOUT
SAFETY
Check
foods
to
see
that
they
are
cooked
to
the
following
recommended
temperatures.
TEMP
FOOD
160
℉
...for
fresh
pork,
ground
meat,
boneless
white
poultry,
fish,
seafood,
egg
dishes
and
frozen
prepared
food.
165
℉
…for
leftover,
ready
‐
to
‐
reheat
refrigerated,
and
deli
and
carry
‐
out
“fresh”
food.
170
℉
…white
meat
of
poultry.
180
℉
…dark
meat
of
poultry.
To
test
for
doneness,
insert
a
meat
thermometer
in
a
thick
or
dense
area
away
from
fat
of
bone.
NEVER
leave
the
thermometer
in
the
food
during
cooking,
unless
it
is
approved
for
microwave
oven
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
oven
while
it’s
in
use
and
check
cooking
progress
frequently
so
that
there
is
no
chance
of
overcooking
food.
NEVER
use
the
cavity
for
storing
cookbooks
or
other
items.
Select,
store
and
handle
food
carefully
to
preserve
its
high
quality
and
minimize
the
spread
of
food
borne
bacteria.
Keep
waveguide
cover
clean.
Food
residue
can
cause
arcing
and/or
fires.
Use
care
when
removing
items
from
the
oven
so
that
utensil,
your
clothes
or
accessories
do
not
touch
the
safety
door
latches.
ABOUT
UTENSILS
AND
COVERINGS
It
is
not
necessary
to
buy
all
new
cookware.
Many
pieces
already
in
your

in
your
new
microwave
oven.
Make
sure
the
utensil
does
not
touch
the
interior
walls
during
cooking.
Use
