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
Drawer Microwave. 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.
Should you have questions about utensils or coverings,
check a good microwave cookbook or follow recipe
suggestions.
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. Fulgor
Milano is not responsible for any damage to the Drawer
Microwave when accessories are used.
About Children and the Microwave
Children below the age of 7 should use the appliance 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 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 they can cook everything.
Children must understand that the Drawer Microwave is not
a toy. See page 16 for Control Lock feature.
About Safety
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United
States Department of Agriculture's recommended
temperatures.
TEMP FOOD
145°F
Fish
160°F
Pork, ground beef/veal/lamb, egg dishes
165°F
For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and
deli and carry-out “fresh” food. Whole, pieces
and ground turkey/chicken/duck.
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 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
burns.
• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the
face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s
covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking
bags away from the face.
• Stay near the Drawer Microwave while it’s in use and
check cooking progress frequently so that there is no
chance of overcooking food.
• NEVER use the Drawer Microwave for storing cookbooks
or other items.
