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 when using microwave-only cooking. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the oven when
accessories are used.
