[...About Utensils and Coverings I
it is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces
already in your kitchen can be used successfully inyour new
microwave.
Usethese utensilsfor safe microwave cooking and reheating:
"glass ceramic (Pyroceram_6), 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 reheating 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 shoutd 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/eheating
Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave
use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT
atlow 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 ar'egood 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 you_ 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 covering, check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe suggestions,
ACCESSORIES
There are many microwave accessories available for purchase, Evaluate care[ully before you purchase so that they meet your

cooked tc)safe temperatures. Sharp is not responsibife for any damage to the oven when accessories are used.
kL
..About Children and the
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 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.

![](asset-9.png)
...About Microwave Cooking I
* Arrange food carefully Place thickest areas towards
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 paper, microwave plastic
wrap or a tid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to
cook evenly.
*Shield with small fiat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking before dense,
thick areas are cooked thorougMy.
"Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice
during cooking, if possible
' Turn foods over onceduring microwaving to speed cooking
of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like
roasts must be turned over at least once
* Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking
both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to
the outside.
"Add standing time, Remove food from oven and stir, ff
possible,, Cover for standing time which allows the food to
finish cooking without overcooking,
"Checkfordoneness Lookfor signs indicatingthatcooking
temperatures have been reached, Doneness signs include:
'Food steams throughout, not just at edge,
"Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
* Poultry thigh joints move easily,
* Meat and poultry show no pinkness,.
" Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork
...About Safety I

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick
or dense area away from fat or 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
bums
"Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the lace
and hands. Slowly liftthe 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 tor storing cookbooks or other
items.
Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high
quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

Manual Defrost
tfthe food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Compu!
Express Defrost Chart or is above or below the limits in the
"Amount" column in the Compu/Express Defrost Chad, you
need to defrost manually.
You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level 3. Follow the exact 3_step
procedure found under Time Cooking on page t 0..Estimate
defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the
power fevet.
For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of
thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound For example,
defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1 pound of
frozen spaghetti sauce
Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the
portions that are defrosted if food is not defrosted at the end
of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1
minute increments on Power Level 3 until totally defrosted
When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a
microwave-safe dish
