AbOUT UTENSIlS ANd COVERINGS

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your
new microwave convection oven. The chart below will help you decide what utensils and coverings should be used
in each mode.

dISH CHECK.

If 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. If the dish becomes very hot, DO NOT use it for microwaving.

aCCESSOriES

There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you

purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-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 accessories are used.
