WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. No other liquid than room temperature water suitable for drinking (filtered) 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 fire. 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. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic, paper

or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning. g. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven off,

and disconnect the power plug, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. h. Do not use containers made of synthetic material for cooking. They could melt at high temperature. i. Do not use plastic containers if the oven is still hot because they may melt. Plastic containers must not

be used on SuperSteam Convection or Convection modes unless the container manufacturer claims

it is suitable. j. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. k. When alcoholic beverage are added when roasting or cooking cakes and sweets, there is a risk that

vapours released by the alcohol may catch fire 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 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 sufficiently heated evenly throughout. Additionally:

a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles fitted 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. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven by yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualified service technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous.

6. Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to: (1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces.

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

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

9. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.

10. 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.

11. Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP. And it must be replaced by a qualified service technician trained by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.

12. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified service technician trained by SHARP.

13. 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.

14. 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.

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

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

17. 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 beverage or soup without checking the container's temperature. Take extra caution when handling the container because it becomes very hot.

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

19. 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.

20. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

21. Accessible parts (e.g. oven door, oven cavity, dishes and accessories) may become hot during use. To avoid burns young children should be kept away. Always use thick oven gloves to prevent yourself from getting burnt.

22. When the appliance is operated in SuperSteam Convection, Convection or Steam, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated.

23. 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.

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

25. 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. Steam from the ventilation cover may wet nearby walls or funiture.

26. Do not operate the oven if the water tank cracks and water leaks. Please contact a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP.

27. To prevent condensation which could corrode the appliance, do not leave cooked food in the oven for an extended period. Clean the oven at regular intervals and remove any food deposits in the oven or on the door.

28. Do not insert fingers 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.

29. Do not place any things weighing more than 5 kg on the door to prevent that the oven may fall down or could damage the door and hinges. Do not cling onto the handle and do not hang heavy objects from it.

30. 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.

31. Never move the oven in 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.

32. Do not water the door or control panel intentionally.

33. If the oven falls down or drops on the floor, do not use the oven. Unplug and contact a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP.

34. 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CLEANING AND CARE

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS -

Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, which lead to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:

• DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE CLEANING OR LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN TO INACTIVATE THE OVEN DURING CLEANING.

• BEFORE CLEANING, MAKE SURE THE OVEN IS COMPLETELY COOL.

• DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANERS, ABRASIVE, HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING PADS ON ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.

• DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Oven Cleaning - Exterior

The outside may be cleaned with mild soap and warm water. Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid the use of harsh abrasive cleaners. Keep the ventilation openings free of dust.

Door

Wipe the door and window on both sides, the door seals and adjacent parts frequently with a damp cloth to remove any spills or spatters. 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.

Control Panel

Care should be taken in cleaning the control panel. If the control panel becomes soiled, open the oven door before cleaning. Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Close the door and press Stop/Clear.

Oven Cleaning - Interior

Steam Clean

The Steam Clean function helps to loosen any grease, oil or food residue. The steam will make the oven easy to clean; however, it is not a self-cleaning function. It will take approximately 20 minutes for the cleaning cycle.

PREPARATION

1. Make sure that the water tank is filled with room temperature water suitable for drinking (filtered) and is installed. (See page 6.)

2. Make sure that the empty drip tray is installed. (See page 6.)

COOKING GUIDES

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 cooking result and assure you that food has 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 the cooking chart in this operation manual or the cookbook supplied.

SuperSteam Convection and 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 SUPERSTEAM CONVECTION and STEAM.

NOTE:

• Always attend the oven when in use.

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

31)

• 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. Wait a few minutes, then empty the drip tray.

WARNING: Follow instructions in the SHARP operation manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking

times and use oven temperature that are too high, food may overheat, burn and, in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

Cooking Hints

Blanching

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.

For efficiently reducing salt and fat, please put the food directly on rack. If the food is put on the plate, please discard the drips left on the plate.

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 may look watery after cooking. Appearance will be better when stirred.

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.

STEAM can be used to blanch vegetables to prepare them for freezing. Place the prepared vegetables on a plate and cook with STEAM, MANUAL, STEAM HIGH for 4 to 5 minutes. After that, put in the cold water to cool quickly. Dry them and then freeze.

Salty Food

For certain salty food like salty fish, bacon etc., salty taste can be reduced by steaming before cooking. Place salty food on rack directly and STEAM, MANUAL, STEAM HIGH for 4 to 5 minutes.

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 & flavouring

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.

• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Care should be taken for foods high

in fat or sugar (e.g. Christmas pudding) as overheating can lead to fire.

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.

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

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

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

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

Seasoning or flavouring is best added after cooking. If added as a marinade or rub, the taste may become light when cooking with steam. Add seasoning or flavouring 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.

- Special Notes and Warning for MICROWAVE -

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 filling 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

WARNING on page 1-2 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.

COOKING GUIDES

- Advice for MICROWAVE -

Cooking Techniques

Arrange food carefully

Place the thickest areas toward outside of dish.

Watch cooking time

Cover food before cooking

Shield food

Stir food

Turn food

Rearrange food

Allow standing time

Check for cooking result

Condensation

Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more time as needed. Overcooked food can smoke or ignite.

Check recipe for suggestions: paper towel, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help food to cook evenly and helps keep oven clean.

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

Stir food from outside to centre of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

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

Food such as meatballs need to be rearranged halfway through cooking 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 finish cooking completely.

Look for signs indicating that the cooking temperature has been reached. Good cooking results 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 flakes easily with a fork.

A normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and moisture in food will influence 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 is not suitable for cooking food with high fat and sugar content.

For cooking cake or meatloaf, place the container on up-turned heat-resistent shallow dish.

- Advice for defrosting -

Defrosting Techniques

Arrange

Separate

Stand

NOTE:

• Remove all packing and wrapping before defrosting.

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

Food 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.
