DO

The fan will automatically start when heat rises from range

surface units or burners and when convection, high mix, low
mix or the broil settings are used.

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 oven. Generally, covered

foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered

ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.

The oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used
to dry clothes or newspapers.

The R-1850A, R-1851A and R-1852A are rated at 850 watts

using the IEC-705-1988 method. In using recipes or pack-

age directions, check food a minute or two before the mini-

mum time and add time accordingly.

DON'T

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass

bowls.

...About Microwave Cooking

FOOD

ready -to-re heat

- 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.

, Rearrange foods like meatballs halfway through cooking

both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish tc

the outside.

*

Add standing time. Remove food from oven and stir,
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. Donenesssigns 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 .

, 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

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 oven while it's in use and check cooking

progress frequently so that there is no chance of

overcooking food.

'NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other

items.

, Select, store and handle food carefully to preserve its high

quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

...About Children and the

Microwave

• Children below the age of 7 should use the

microwave 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 oven comfortably;

if not, he/she should stand on a sturdy stool.

.. At no time should anyone be allowed to lean on or

swing on the oven door.

, Children should be taught all safety precautions: use

potholders,

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 oven is not

SPECIAL FEATURES

Manual Defrost

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the
CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limns in the

"Amount" column on the chart, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously

cooked, by using power level 3. Follow the exact 3-step
procedure found under Time Cooking on page
defrosting time and press 3 for 30% when you select the power
level.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food, the rule of

thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example,

defrost 5 minutes for 2-3 cups of casserole or 1 pound otfrozen
spaghetti sauce.

Always 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,

increments on power level 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only

long enough to remove trom the plastic in order to place food

Sensor Cooking

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

The Sensor adjusts the cooking times and power level for
various foods and quantities. It takes the guesswork out of

microwave cooking.

Using Sensor Settings:

and the oven will shut off.

7. At the end of any cycle, open oven door or touch

STOP/CLEAR pad. The time of day will reappear on

Selecting Foods:

1.

The sensor works with foods at normal storage temper-

ature. For example, foods for reheating would be at
refrigerator temperature and potatoes for baking would

be room temperature.

charts should be cooked by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover

recommended in the chart for these foods.

Convection/Automatic Mix
Cooking

This section of the Operation Manual gives you specific cook-

ing instructions and procedures. Please consult your Sharp

Carousel Convection Microwave Cookbook for helpful hints

for convection and combination cooking.

The oven should not be used without the turntable in place,

anditshould never be restricted so thatitcannot rotate.
You may remove the turntable when preheating the oven
and when preparing food to be cooked directly on the turn-

Convection Cooking

During convection heating, hot air is circulated throughout

the oven cavity to brown and crisp foods quickly and evenly.

This oven can be programmed for ten different convection
cooking temperatures for up to 99 minutes, 99 seconds.
