2 INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
• 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 mi-
crowaving, 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
reheating and absorbing fat while cooking
bacon.
• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheat-
ing.
• 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
Drawer Microwave:
• 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 Drawer Microwave.
Should you have questions about utensils or
coverings, check a good microwave cookbook or
follow recipe suggestions.

Accessories
There are many microwave accessories avail-
able for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you
purchase so that they meet your needs. A micro-
wave-safe thermometer will assist you in deter-
mining correct doneness and assure you that
foods have been cooked to safe temperatures.
Beko is not responsible for any damage to the
Drawer Microwave when accessories are used.

Child Safety

• Children below the age of 7 should use the
Drawer Microwave 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 Drawer Microwave comfortably.
• At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or
swing on the Drawer Microwave.
• Children should be taught all safety precau-
tions: use potholders, remove coverings care-
fully, pay special attention to packages that
crisp food because they may be extra hot.
• Don't assume that because a child has mas-
tered one cooking skill he/she can cook every-
thing.
• Children need to learn that the Drawer Micro-
wave is not a toy. See page 23 for Control Lock
feature.

Food Safety

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas to-
wards 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
