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 your
dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.

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. Not cleaning the
oven will lead to a build up of
food deposits inside the cavity.

•

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 drinking
water to the MAX mark.

2. Operate the oven with Steam High for 10 minutes
without food. See page 14

3.

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 before the
end of the operation.) And then, 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 the 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.

Points To Remember

• Please make reading the Operation Manual your very fi rst step in working with your new oven. This important
booklet explains exactly how the oven works and what you need to know to operate it successfully.

• Use the information in the charts and recipes to help adapt your own favorite recipes or convenience foods for
preparation in the oven.

• The stated cooking times in the charts and recipes are guidelines and are based on standard conditions.
Cooking results will vary according to the conditions of food, utensils and the oven. Please check the cooking
result and if necessary, adjust cooking times accordingly.

• Prepare the food and use accessories as instructed.

• When placing food in the oven, turning, stirring or adding something to the food, please ensure the door does
not remain open long so as to avoid loss of heat.

• Please refer to Food and Utensil Position Chart on page 13 before setting food in the oven.

• Always distribute the ingredients evenly inside a piece of ovenware or steam tray to achieve even cooking
results.

• There is no need to fi ll the water tank for Microwave, Grill, Combi High or Combi Low cooking.

• If you would like to adapt your favorite recipes for the microwave, you should take note of the following: Shorten
cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the example of the recipes in this cookery book.

COOKBOOK

ACCESSORIES There are many microwave or heat-resistant accessories available for purchase. Evaluate careful-

ly 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 STEAM MENUS, STEAM HIGH and STEAM
LOW.

NOTE:

• Always attend the oven when in use.

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

erings page 26)

• Ventilate the room to allow the steam to dissipate.

• After cooking and the oven has cooled, remove and empty the water tank, wipe oven cav-

ity with a soft cloth or sponge. Wait a few minutes, then 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 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.

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 hand.

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

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 fl avouring 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.

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

* Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the pop-

ping to slow to 1-2 seconds.

* Transfer baby food to a small dish and

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

* Remove the screw cap and nipple be-

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

* Food with fi lling should be cut after heat-

ing, to release steam and avoid burns.

* Use a deep bowl when cooking liquids

or cereals to prevent boiling over.

* Small portions will be done faster than

larger ones. A basic rule is: DOUBLE
THE AMOUNT = ALMOST DOUBLE THE
TIME, HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE
TIME

* For boiling or cooking liquids see

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

* Remove food from can.

* 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 cook-

ing.

* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or keep

clear of cavity walls.

* 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.

* 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

energy and may cause an electrical

discharge known as arcing.

* Use too much.
* Shield food close to cavity walls.

Place the thickest areas toward outside of dish.

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.

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).

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.
