Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave Drawer to your radio or TV, check that the Microwave Drawer isonadifferentelectricalcircuit,relocatetheradioorTVasfar away from the drawer as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.
ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER
ALWAYS have food in the Microwave Drawer when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.
The vent under the Microwave Drawer must not be blocked. During microwaving, steam may come from the right side of the vent.
WhenusingtheMicrowaveDraweratpowerlevelsbelow100%, youmayhearthemagnetroncyclingonandoff.Itisnormalfor the exterior of the Microwave Drawer to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will influence the amount of moisture that condenses in the Microwave Drawer. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones.
The Microwave Drawer is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.
Your Microwave Drawer is rated 1000 watts by using the IEC Test Procedure. In using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time and add time accordingly.
When opening or closing the Microwave Drawer quickly, food in the Microwave Drawer may be spilled. To clean, please refer to the Cleaning and Care section on page 18.
A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints and recipes. See page 20 for ordering the Sharp Carousel Microwave Cookbook.
ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING
•Arrangefoodcarefully.Placethickestareastowardsoutside of dish.
•Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicatedandaddmoreasneeded.Foodseverelyovercooked can smoke or ignite.
•Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions:papertowels,waxpaper,microwaveplasticwrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.
•Shieldwithsmallflatpiecesofaluminumfoilanythinareas ofmeatorpoultrytopreventovercookingbeforedense,thick areas are cooked thoroughly.
•Stirfoodsfromoutsidetocenterofdishonceortwiceduring cooking, if possible.
•Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.
•Rearrangefoodssuchasmeatballshalfwaythroughcooking both from top to bottom and from right to left.
•Add standing time. Remove food from Microwave Drawer and stir, if possible. Cover for standing time which allows the food to finish cooking without overcooking.
•Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached.
Doneness signs include:
-Food steams throughout, not just at edge.
-Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.
-Poultry thigh joints move easily.
-Meat and poultry show no pinkness.
-Fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

ABOUT UTENSILS AND COVERINGS
Itisnotnecessarytobuyallnewcookware.Manypiecesalready inyourkitchencanbeusedsuccessfullyinyournewMicrowave Drawer. 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, placetheemptydishintheovenandmicrowaveonHIGHfor30 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.
•Lidsthataremicrowave-safeareagoodchoicebecauseheat 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.
INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
How to use aluminum foil in your Microwave Drawer:
•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 Drawer.
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. Sharp is not responsible for any damage to the Microwave Drawer when accessories are used.
ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE
Children below the age of 7 should use the Microwave Drawer 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 Drawer comfortably.
At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the Microwave Drawer.
Childrenshouldbetaughtallsafetyprecautions:usepotholders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.
Donʼt assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.
Children need to learn that the Microwave Drawer is not a toy. See page 16 for Control Lock feature.

INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT SAFETY
• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agricultureʼs recommended temperatures.
160˚F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.
165˚F - Forleftover,ready-to-reheatrefrigerated,anddeliand
carry-out “fresh” food.
170˚F - White meat of poultry.
180˚F - Dark meat of poultry.
To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or denseareaawayfromfatorbone.NEVERleavethethermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave use.
ABOUT FOODS
•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 Microwave Drawer while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.
•NEVER use the Microwave Drawer for storing cookbooks or other items.
•Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.
•Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or fires. See page 18.
