INFORMATION
YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT
It is not necessary
to buy all new cookware.
Many
pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully
in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does
not touch the interior walls during cooking.

AND
COVERINGS
The following
coverings are ideal:
Use these utensils |or safe microwave cooking
and reheating:
• glass ceramic (Pyroceram_), such as
Comingware_L
• 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 |or short time reheat-
ing ol |gods that have little fat or sugar in them:
• wood, straw, wicker
• 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
microwave
use can be used for cooking and
reheating. 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 featpieces of aluminum foil placed smooth-
ly 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.
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.
ACCESSORIES
There are many
microwave
ac-
cessories available
for purchase.
Evaluate carefully
before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A
microwave-safe
thermometer
will assist you in deter-
mining 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 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
AND
THE
M|CROWAViE
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 19 for Child Lock feature.
