IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

This oven is designed to be used on a countertop or in a cabinet. It is not designed for built-in installation. See page 4 for the installation.

The oven door may become hot during cooking. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the ﬂ oor. Keep children away from the door to prevent them from burning themselves.

Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 4 for the other necessary spaces. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been

given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use. WARNING: When the appliance is operated in the GRILL, GRILL MIX, STEAM and AUTOMATIC operations

(except Easy Defrost), children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. To avoid burns young children should be kept away. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by

an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician. WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an

authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord. The exchange must be made by a service centre approved by SHARP.

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when

handling the container. Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since

they may explode even after microwave cooking has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page 28. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.

The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

The door, outer cabinet, oven cavity, dishes, accessories and especially the grill heating elements will become very hot during operation. Care should be taken to avoid touching these areas. To prevent burns, always use thick oven gloves. Before cleaning make sure they are not hot.

When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven and keep the door closed in order to stiﬂ e any ﬂ ames. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely

affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can

scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. Steam cleaner is not to be used. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 22.

Other warnings

1. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re in the oven cavity: a.

No other liquid than room temperature water suitable for drinking (ﬁ ltered) can be poured into the water tank.

b. The oven should not be left unattended during operation. High oven temperature or long cooking time

may overheat foods resulting in a ﬁ re. c. Do not overcook food. d. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven. e. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled. f. Do not use containers made of synthetic material for cooking. They could melt at high temperature.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use plastic containers if the oven is still hot because they may melt. Plastic containers must not be

used unless the container manufacturer claims it is suitable. h. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. i. When alcoholic beverages are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that

vapours released by the alcohol may catch ﬁ re upon coming into contact with the electrical heating

element. Attend the oven closely during cooking.

2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling, care should be taken when handling the container. Your oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly with microwave, therefore it is very important that you select the appropriate cooking time and power level for the type and quantity of food to be heated. If you are unsure of the cooking time and power level required, begin with low cooking times and power levels until the food is sufﬁ ciently heated evenly throughout.

Additionally:

a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles ﬁ tted with a screw cap or teat are considered

to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amount of time. c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container. d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. e. Stir the liquid before and during cooking. Use extreme care when handling the container or inserting a

spoon or other utensil into the container.

3. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food and beverage.

It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags.

4. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven.

5. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the latches.

6. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.

7. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.

8. Always use oven gloves 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.

9. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualiﬁ ed service technician trained by SHARP.

10. Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the furthest edge of a dish's cover including microwave plastic wrap etc., and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

11. Make sure that the power supply cord is undamaged, and that it does not run under the oven or over any hot surfaces or sharp edges.

12. Use care when opening door. To avoid burns from escaping heat and steam, let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

13. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet because the oven will become very hot during operation.

14. To avoid burns, always test the food and container temperature and stir before serving. Pay special attention to the temperature of food and drink given to babies, children and the elderly. Do not drink beverages or soup without checking the container's temperature. Take extra caution when handling the container because it becomes very hot.

15. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

16. Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear cabinet, oven cavity, air-vent openings, accessories and dishes because the escaping steam from the ventilation cover during operation becomes hot.

17. Do not touch around the oven lamps directly. This part will become hot when the oven lamp is on.

18. When the oven is in use, ventilate a room where the oven is installed. e.g. open a window or switch a kitchen ventilation fan on.

19. Do not operate the oven if the water tank cracks and water leaks. Please contact a service centre approved by SHARP.

20. Do not insert ﬁ ngers or objects in the holes (the steam outlets or air-vent openings) as this may damage the oven and cause an electric shock or a hazard.

21. Do not touch the electric plug with wet hands and plug into the electric wall socket securely. When removing the plug from the socket always grip the plug, never pull the power supply cord as this may damage the power supply cord and the connections inside the plug.

22. Never move the oven when it is operating. If the oven needs to be moved, always drain all water inside the oven using DRAIN WATER function. After draining, empty the drip tray.

23. Do not put any water on the door or control panel intentionally.

24. If the oven falls down or drops on the ﬂ oor, do not use the oven. Unplug the unit and contact a service centre approved by SHARP.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove all packing materials from the oven cavity, and the feature sticker from the outside of the door, if

there is one. Check the unit for any damage, such as a misaligned door, damaged door seals around the door or dents inside the oven cavity or on the door.

Descale Function

White or gray grains, also called scale, may form in the water circuit inside the oven during steam generation, which could cause the oven to malfunction.

When “DESCALE (ﬂ ashing)” is shown in the display, be sure to carry out Descale function immediately. It takes about 1 hour. (The descaling using citric acid or lemon juice is for about 30 minutes, and then rinsing with fresh water is for about 30 minutes.)

PROCEDURE

Pure citric acid, available at some drugstores,

or bottled 100% lemon juice with no pulp are used for descaling. Choose one and prepare the descaling solution.

To use pure citric acid, dissolve 1 tablespoon of pure citric acid crystals in 500ml of water in a non-porous container. Stir well and pour into the water tank to the MAX mark.

To use 100% bottled lemon juice, check that there is absolutely no pulp in it. If there is pulp or you are not sure, strain through a ﬁ ne strainer. Measure 70ml of the strained lemon juice and add it to 500ml of water. Stir well and pour into the water tank to the MAX mark.

Place the water tank in the oven correctly and push ﬁ rmly into place.

Press Info/Timer and

CLEANING AND CARE

Key Point for Cleaning - Immediately and frequently!

The food may splash during cooking and oily meat juice, remaining on the oven interior walls will get stuck and will be hard to remove if it is not cleaned immediately and after each use. The usage of the steam function will assist in this cleaning process.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANERS, STEAM CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS, ANY THAT CONTAIN SODIUM HYDROXIDE OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN.

Before cleaning, make sure the oven cavity, door, oven cabinet, accessories and especially the grill heating element are completely cool.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND REMOVE ANY FOOD DEPOSITS - Keep the oven clean, or the oven could lead to a deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

Oven exterior

The outside of your oven can be cleaned easily with mild soap and water. Make sure the soap is wiped off with a moist cloth, and dry the exterior with a soft towel.

Oven controls

Open the door before cleaning to de-activate the oven controls. Care should be taken when cleaning the oven control. Using a cloth dampened with water only, gently wipe the panel until it becomes clean. Avoid using excessive amounts of water. Do not use any sort of chemical or abrasive cleaner.

Door

To remove all trace of dirt, regularly clean both sides of the door, the door seals and adjacent parts with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Door Seals

Always keep the door seals clean to prevent any damage. If water condenses inside the door seals, wipe dry with a soft cloth. Polish with another soft cloth. Do not use a chemical or abrasive cleaner on these surfaces. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, pull or move the seals. Before cooking, always check that door seals is lying smooth and ﬂ at. If not, steam will leak from the door. Do not use the oven if it has a damaged door seals. Consult a service centre approved by SHARP.

Oven interior

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• After every use: Wipe the oven walls with a soft cloth and warm water (or mild soapy water) while the oven is still warm. Using the oven without cleaning may lead spatters to get stuck.

•

Do not use caustic cleaners (acidic/alkaline), spray type cleaners, abrasive or harsh cleaners or scouring pads as it may damage the surface of oven walls.

For removal of OIL AND FOOD SPLASHES on oven walls:

1. Fill the water tank with room temperature water suitable for drinking (ﬁ ltered) through the lid to the MAX mark.

2. Operate the oven with Steam Cook High for 10 minutes without food. See page 16.

After the steaming, wipe the dirt in the oven interior with a dry soft cloth while the oven is still warm.

Be aware that the grill heating element and steam outlets may be still hot, so take care when wiping the ceiling and cavity back plate. (The grill heating element will turn on for a very short time intermittently during the cooking.) We recommend to operate the oven with Grill for 3 minutes without food and accessories for drying the water off

around grill heating element.

Steam Tray / Glass Tray / Rack

Wash steam tray, glass tray and rack after cooking with a mild soap or detergent solution, rinsing and polishing dry. Do not use harsh cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes to prevent damage to the easy clean surface. All the accessories can be washed in the dishwasher. Do not leave the steam tray and rack wet.

Water Tank and Water Tank Lid

After cooking, wash in a mild soap or detergent solution with a soft damp cloth or sponge, rinse and polish dry. Do not wash in the dishwasher. Do not use harsh cleaners, sharp metal scrapers or stiff brushes on the water tank and water tank lid.

COOKING GUIDES

Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in each cooking mode. When heating food in plastic containers, pay special attention to the melting temperature of the containers. Never heat the plastic containers over their melting temperature. Keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of melting and ignition.

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant 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.

For automatic cooking, use the recommended container in each cooking guide and recipes of the cookbook section.

Steam Cooking Advice

There are certain techniques for cooking with steam. It is essential that these techniques are followed to ensure good results. Many of them are similar to those used in conventional cooking so you may be used to doing them already. Please follow the advise given below for all cooking options which use Easy Auto Menus*, Steam Cook High and Steam Cook Low. * Except for Easy Defrost, Sensor Reheat and Grill

NOTE:

• Always attend the oven when in use.

• Ensure that the utensils are suitable for STEAM cooking mode. (See About Utensils and Coverings

page 28)

• Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.

• After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cavity with a

soft cloth or sponge. Empty the drip tray.

- Special Advice for STEAM -

Cooking Techniques

Container

Covering

Door

Stir

Stand

Ensure food is arranged evenly. Food which has little or no space between will take longer to cook, please ensure food is positioned with enough space between items to allow the steam to circulate around it. For the container, a shallow dish is suitable. It is not recommended to use dense dishes, because of the thickness of such dishes, recommended cooking times will have to be extended.

Covering is not necessary in most cases. If a cover is required, aluminium foil is recommended to keep food becoming wet from the condensed water in the oven cavity. Covered food will take longer to cook.

For accurate cooking times, keep the door closed.

Sometimes soup or casserole reheated in a casserole dish without covering looks watery after cooking. Appearance will be better by stirring well.

Standing time is recommended after cooking so it enables the heat to disperse equally throughout the food. Do not allow to stand for a long time; food may be overcooked or wet by the residual steam.

COOKING GUIDES

- Advice for STEAM -

Food characteristics

Density

Food density will affect the amount of cooking time needed. Cut the food into thinner parts if possible, and arrange in single layer.

Quantity

Size

Shape

Temperature of food

Seasoning & ﬂ avouring

NOTE:

• Ensure the food is thoroughly cooked / reheated before serving.

• Cooking time will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size,

shape and material of the container.

Face & Hands: Always use thick oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Be careful when opening the oven door to allow steam to dissipate. Do not remove the food from the oven with your bare hands.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir before serving. Take special care when serving to babies, children or the elderly.

The cooking time must be increased as the amount of food cooked in the oven increases.

Small foods and small pieces cook faster than large ones, as heat can penetrate from all sides to the centre. For even cooking make all the pieces the same size.

Foods which are irregular in shape, such as chicken breasts or drumsticks, may take longer to cook in the thicker parts. Check these parts are cooked thoroughly before serving.

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed. Chilled foods will take longer to cook than foods at room temperature. The temperature of the container is not the actual temperature of the food or drink.

Seasoning or flavouring are best added after cooking. If added as marinades or rubs, their taste may become light when cooking with steam. Add seasoning or ﬂ avouring again after cooking if necessary.

DO DON’T

Eggs, fruits, nuts, seeds, vegetables, sausages and oysters

Popcorn

Baby food

General

Liquids (Beverages)

* Puncture egg yolks and whites and

oysters before cooking to prevent "explosion".

* Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,

squash, hot dogs, sausages and oysters so that steam escapes.

* Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the

popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.

* Transfer baby food to small dish and

heat carefully, stirring often. Check for suitable temperature to prevent burns.

* Remove the screw cap and nipple

before warming baby bottles. After warming shake thoroughly. Check for suitable temperature.

* Food with ﬁ lling should be cut after

heating, to release steam and avoid burns.

* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids

or cereals to prevent boiling over.

* For boiling or cooking liquids see

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 2 to prevent explosion and delayed eruptive boiling.

* Cook eggs in shells. This prevents

"explosion", which may damage the

oven or injure yourself. * Cook hard/soft boiled eggs. * Overcook oysters. * Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or

microwave safe glass bowls. * Exceed maximum time on popcorn

package.

* Heat disposable bottles. * Overheat baby bottles. Only heat until warm. * Heat bottles with nipples on. * Heat baby food in original jars.

* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or

airtight containers. * Deep fat fry. * Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,

clothes or ﬂ owers.

* Heat for longer than recommended

time.

Canned foods

Sausage rolls, Pies, Christmas pudding

Meats

Utensils

Aluminium foil

* Remove food from can and transfer to

a microwave safe dish.

* Cook for the recommended time. (These

foods have high sugar and/or fat contents.)

* Use a microwave proof roasting rack or

plate to collect drained juices.

* Check the utensils are suitable for

MICROWAVE cooking before you use them.

* Use to shield food to prevent over

cooking.

* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or keep

clear of cavity walls.

* Heat or cook food in cans.

* Overcook as they may catch ﬁ re.

* Place meat directly on the ceramic

oven ﬂ oor for cooking.

* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE

cooking. Metal reﬂ ects microwave

discharge known as arcing.

* Use too much. * Shield food close to cavity walls. Sparking can damage the oven.

COOKING GUIDES

- Advice for MICROWAVE -

Cooking Techniques

Arrange food carefully

Place the thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Watch cooking time

Cover foods before cooking

Shield foods

Stir foods

Turn foods

Rearrange foods

Allow standing time

Check for doneness

Condensation

Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

Check recipe for suggestions: paper towels, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly. (Helps keep oven clean)

Use small pieces of aluminium foil to cover thin areas of meat or poultry in order to avoid overcooking.

From outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

Foods such as chicken, hamburgers or steaks should be turned over once during cooking.

Like meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the centre of the dish to the outside.

After cooking ensure adequate standing time. Remove food from oven and stir if possible. Cover during standing time can allow the food to ﬁ nish cooking completely.

Look for signs indicating that cooking temperature has been reached. Doneness signs include:

– Steam emits throughout the food, not just at edge; – Joints of poultry can be torn apart easily; – Pork and poultry show no pinkness; – Fish is opaque and ﬂ akes easily with a fork.

A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will inﬂ uence the amount of moisture in the oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.

Microwave safe plastic wrap

Microwave safe plastic cookware

Cake/Meatloaf

For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.

Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.

For cooking cake or meatloaf, place the container on the glass tray in lower position (position 2).

- Advice for DEFROSTING -

Defrosting Techniques

Arrange

Separate

Stand

NOTE:

• Remove all packing and wrapping before defrosting.

Arrange food in a single even layer on the shallow dish. This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate foods as soon as possible during defrosting. e.g. steaks, chops

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completely defrosted.
