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
MicroDrawer™ microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does
not touch the interior walls during cooking.
Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:
• glassceramic(Pyroceram
®
), such as Corningware
®
.
• heat-resistantglass(Pyrex
®
)
• microwave-safeplastics
• microwave-safe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 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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 MicroDrawer™ micro-
wave 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 microwave oven.
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. BHS is not responsible for any damage to the
MicroDrawer™ microwave oven when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
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 microwave
oven comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the
MicroDrawer™ microwave oven.
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 MicroDrawer™ microwave
oven is not a toy. See page 15 for Panel Lock feature.
