ABOUT FOOD

FOOD DO DON'T

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking.

Roomhumidityandthemoistureinfoodwillinuence

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.

Your oven is rated 850 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.

• Stir liquids briskly before and after heating to avoid “eruption”.

• Use deep bowl, when cooking liquids or cereals, to prevent boilovers.

• Cook eggs in shells.

• Reheat whole eggs.

• Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

• Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or glass bowls.

I N F O r m A T I O N Y O u N E E D T O K N O W

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 before dense, thick areas are cooked thoroughly.

• Stir foods from 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.

ABOUT SAFETY

• Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United

States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

T E m P F O O D

160°F

165°F

170°F

180°F

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

... for fresh pork, ground meat,

boneless white poultry, fish, seafood, egg dishes and frozen prepared food.

... for leftover, ready-to-reheat

refrigerated, and deli and carryout “fresh” food.

... white meat of poultry.

... dark meat of poultry.

NEVER leave

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway

through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

Add standing time. Remove food from oven 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.

•

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 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.

• Keep waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause

arcing and/or ﬁres.

• Use care when removing items from the oven so

that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

ABOUT CHILDREN AND THE MICROWAVE

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven 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 or swing on the oven door.

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 oven is not a toy. See page 25 for Child Lock feature.

NOTE:

The door can be opened for checking food and the turntable will stay in the off position. After checking, close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.

The turntable will stay off for one minute after door is opened when time-of-day appears in the display. It is possible to reprogram the oven during that minute without touching the TURNTABLE ON/OFF pad. The display always indicates whether the turntable is off or on.

THE TURNTABLE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON WHEN USING THE SPECIAL FEATURES. On/Off function can be used with manual cooking modes and Sensor Reheat. Turntable off condition will automatically change to on condition when you select auto cooking except Sensor Reheat and CompuBake.

When cooking large quantities of food which cannot be stirred, it is best to use a lower power level such as 40 or 50%. You may speed cooking of large amounts by programming 5 to 10 minutes on 100% power (HIGH) followed by the desired time on lower power. See page 24 for how to program multiple sequences. You may wish to reverse a large casserole once during cooking; simply open door, reposition casserole, close door and touch START/TOUCH ON.

MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the CompuDefrost Chart or is above or below the limits 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 To Set Power Level on page

12. Estimate 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 of frozen 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, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 3 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place food in a microwave-safe dish.

SENSOR COOKING

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 level for various foods and quantities. It takes the guesswork out of microwave cooking.

Using Sensor Settings:

1. Room temperature should not exceed 95˚F.

2. Be sure the exterior of the cooking container and the interior of the oven are dry. Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

3. Sensor cooking can only be entered within 1 minute after cooking, opening and closing the door or touching the STOP/CLEAR pad.

4. During the ﬁrst part of sensor cooking,

will appear on display. Do not open oven door or touch STOP/CLEAR during this part of the cooking cycle. The measurement of vapor will be interrupted.

If this occurs, will appear and sensor cooking will be interrupted. To continue cooking, touch the STOP/CLEAR pad and select cooking time and power. When sensor detects the vapor emitted from the food, remainder of cooking time will appear. Door may be opened when remaining cooking time appears on display. At this time, you may stir or season food, as desired.

5. Check food for doneness after cooking with sensor settings. If additional time is needed, continue to cook with variable power and time.

6. If the sensor does not detect vapor, will appear 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 the display.

8. Any sensor setting can be programmed with More or Less Time Adjustment. See page 24.

ERROR

Selecting Foods:

1. The sensor works with foods at normal storage temperature. For example, foods for reheating would be at refrigerator temperature and potatoes for baking would be room temperature.

2. More or less food than the quantity listed in the charts should be cooked by time and variable power.

Covering Foods:

Some foods work best when covered. Use the cover recommended in the Sensor Cooking chart for these foods.

1. Casserole lid.

2. Plastic wrap: Use plastic wrap recommended for microwave cooking. Cover dish loosely; allow approximately 1/2 inch to remain uncovered to allow steam to escape. Plastic wrap should not touch food.

3. Paper towel: Use paper towels to absorb excess fat and moisture when cooking bacon and potatoes. Line the turntable when baking potatoes.

4. Wax paper: Cover dish completely; fold excess wrap under dish to secure. If dish is wider than paper, overlap two pieces at least one inch to cover.
