ABOUT MICROWAVE COOKING

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside

of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time

indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked
can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for
suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap
or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook
evenly.

• Shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil any thin areas
of meat or poultry to prevent overcooking befi__redense, thick
areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir fi__odsfrom outside to center of dish once or twice during
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.

Should there be any interference caused by the Microwave
Drawer to your radio or TV, check that the Microwave Drawer

is on a different electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far
away fi'om the drawer as feasible or check position and signal

of receiving antenna.

ABOUT YOUR MICROWAVE DRAWER

ALWAYS have f_)odin 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 fi'om the right side of
the vent.

When using the Microwave Drawer at power levels below 100%,
you may hear the magnetron cycling on and offl It is normal fi__r

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 fi__rfood 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.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking
both fi'om 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

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already
in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new Microwave

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

iNFORMATiON YOU NEED TO KNOW

° microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

° browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating

time. Follow manufacturer's directions.)

These items can be used %r short time reheating of %ods that
have little fat o3"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 fbr 30

seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

The following coverings are ideal:

• Paper towels are good fbr covering foods fbr reheating and
absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked fbr 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.

How to use aluminum foil in your Microwave Drmver:

Small flat pieces of aluminmn 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 fbllow recipe suggestions.
ACCENSOR|I:S 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 fbods have been cooked to safe temperatures. Sharp is not

responsible for any damage to the Microwave Drawer when
accessories are used.

OPEN OR CLOSE MICROWAV_ DRAWER

Always press the OPEN or ('LOSE pad on tile control panel to
open o3"close the Microwave Drawer.

Do not push or pull the Microwave Drawer by hand, except
ill case of emergency, such as a power failure. If necessary,
push or pull slowly.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE

MICROWAVE

Children below tile 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.

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 he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the Microwave Drawer 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.

160°F - For fresh pork, ground meat, boneless white poultry,

fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

165°F - For leftover, ready-to-reheat refrigerated, and dell and

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 dense
area away fi'om 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 Microwave Drawer while it's in use and check
cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of
overcooking food.

iNFORMATiON YOU NEED TO KNOW

SENSOR SETTINGS

Sharp's Sensor is a semi-conductor device that detects the
vapor (moisture and humidity) emitted from the food as it

heats. The sensor adjusts the cooking times and power levels

for various foods and quantities.

USING SENSOR SETTINGS:

"l After the Microwave Drawer is plugged in, wait 2

minutes before using any sensor setting.

2 Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the

interior of the Microwave Drawer are dry. Wipe off any
moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3 The sensor works with foods at normal storage

temperature. For example, popcorn would be at room
temperature.

4 Any sensor selection can be programmed with More or

Less Time Adjustment. See page 16.

5 More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts

should be cooked following the guidelines in any

microwave cookbook.

FOOD AMOUNT PROCEDURE

t Ground meat .5 - 2.0 lb Remove any thawed pieces after each audible signal. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.

2 Steaks/chops .5 - 3.0 lb After each audible signal, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small

flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fish that is almost defrosted. Let stand, covered,
for 10 to 20 minutes.

3 Boneless poultry .5 - 2.0 lb After each audible signal, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand,

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
DEFROST CHART or is above or below the limits in the

AMOUNT column on the DEFROST CHART, you need to
defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously
cooked, by using Power Level at 30%. Follow the exact 3-step

procedure found under TO SET POWER LEVEL on page 11.
Estimate defrosting time and press Power Level pad eight

times for 30% power.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen %od the rule of
thumb is approximately 4 minutes per pound. For example,
defrost 4 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Ahvays stop the oven periodically to remove or separate
the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at
the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven
in 1 minute increments on Power Level 30% until totally

defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only
long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in

a microwave-safe dish.

CLEANING AND CARE

EXTERIOR iNTERIOR

The outside surface is precoated metal and plastic. Clean
the outside with mild soap and water; rinse and dry with

a soft cloth. Do not use any type of household or abrasive

cleaner.

STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE
(SELECT MODELS)

The exterior should be wiped often with a soft damp cloth and
polished with a soft dry cloth to maintain its beauty. There

are also a variety of products designed especially for cleaning

and shining the stainless exterior of the oven. We recommend
that the cleaner be applied to a soft cloth and then carefully
used on the stainless exterior rather than sprayed directly on
to it. Follow package directions carefully.

FRONT SiDE OF THE DRAWER

Wipe the window on both sides with a soft damp cloth to
remove any spills or spatters. Metal parts will be easier to
maintain if wiped frequently with a soft damp cloth. Avoid
the use of spray and other harsh cleaners as they may stain,

streak or dull the door surface.

TOUCH CONTROLPANEL

If desired, the touch pads may be deactivated before cleaning.

See the Control Lock information on page 16of this manual.
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. (;lose door and follow directions on page

16 for turning Control Lock off. Touch Stop/Clear.

Cleaning is easy because no heat is generated to the interior
surfaces; therefore, there is no baking and setting of spills or

spattering. _12_clean the interior surfaces, including drawer
sealing surfaces, wipe with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT USE

ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS OR SCOURING
PADS. For heavier soil, use mild soap; wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth. Do not use any chemical oven cleaners.

MICROWAVE DRAWER GUIDES

Remove the food crmnbs from the Microx_ave Draxxer guides.

Wipe with a soft dry cloth in order to keep the Microxxave

Draxxer opening and closing smoothly.

WAVEGUIDE COVER

The waveguide cover, located on the inside

top of the Microwave Drawer area, is made from mica, so
it requires special care. Keep the waveguide cover clean to
assure good microwave performance. Carefully wipe with

a soft damp cloth any food spatters from the surface of
the cover immediately after they occur. Built-up splashes

may overheat and cause smoke or possibly catch fire. Do
not remove the waveguide cover.

ODOR REMOVAL

Occasionally, a cooking odor may remain in the Microwave
Drawer. To remove, combine 1 cup water, grated peel and

juice of one lemon and several whole cloves in a 2-cup glass

measuring cup. Boil for several minutes using 100% power.
Allow to set in the Microwave Drawer until cool. Wipe

interior with a soft cloth.
