2. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling, care should be taken 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 suciently heated evenly throughout. Additionally:
a. Do not place sealed containers in the microwave. Babies bottles tted with a screw cap or teat are
considered to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amount of cooking time. c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container. d. Do not heat for longer than reco
mmended time. See REHEATING-FOOD CHART at the back of this book. e. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. f. 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. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and th
e oven.
4. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the utensil, your clothes or accessories do not touch the latches.
5. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating.
6. Never tamper with or deactivate the latches.
7. Always use oven gloves to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in cont
act with hot food. Enough
heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.
8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualied service technician trained by SHARP.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.
12. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
13. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.
14. Do not operate the oven without a load (i.e. an abso
rbing material such as food or water) in the oven cavity
except when conditioning or cleaning the heater elements as described in the operation manual.

CLEAN THE OVEN AT REGULAR INTERVALS - Keep the oven clean and remove any food deposits, or it could lead to deterioration of the surface. This could adversely aect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.
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 abrasive cleaners.
Touch Control Panel:
Wipe the panel with a cloth dampened slightly with water only. Do not scrub or use any sort of chemical cleaners. Avoid the use of excess water.
Interior walls:
To clean the interior surfaces, wipe with a soft cloth and warm water. After use wipe the waveguide cover in the oven with a soft damp cloth to remove any food splashes. Built-up splashes may overheat and begin to smoke or catch fi re. Do not remove the waveguide cover.
ON ANY PART OF YOUR MICROWAVE OVEN. NEVER SPRAY OVEN CLEANERS DIRECTLY ONTO ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN. Avoid using excess water. After cleaning the oven, ensure any water is removed with a soft cloth.

To cook/defrost food in a microwave oven, the microwave energy must be able to pass through the container to penetrate the food. Therefore it is important to choose suitable cookware. Round/oval dishes are preferable to square/oblong ones, as the food in the corners tends to overcook. A variety of cookware can be used as listed below.

Small pieces of aluminium foil can be used to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls, as arcing may occur. Foil containers are not re commended unless specied by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil®, follow instructions carefully.

COOKING & UTENSIL GUIDE
Page 21
1. THE ARRANGEMENT
Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas towards the outside of the dish.
3. COVERING
Cover foods in the microwave if you would normally cover the food in
your ordinary oven, or to retain moisture. Cover foods such as Vegetables,
Casseroles, or when reheating.
Use to cover foods:
5. SHIELDING
Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, fish and
poultry or edges of cakes to prevent overcooking.
7. STIRRING
Stir foods from the outside to the centre of the dish, once or twice during
cooking if possible.
Eg. Casseroles and Sauces.
9. DENSITY
The depth to which microwaves penetrate food varies depending on the
foods density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes, microwave
faster than dense foods like steak or whole potatoes.
11. STARTING TEMPERATURE
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room temperature.
Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since
rooms, refrigerators and freezers dier in temperature, check cooking result
at the minimum time.
13. CONDENSATION
Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. The humidity and
moisture in food will infl uence the amount of condensation in the oven.
Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered
foods. Ensure that the ventilation openings are not blocked.
TOMATO
EGG
LEWOT REPAPDIL PLASTIC WRAP
FISH
CHICKEN
2. TURNING
Foods such as poultry and joints of meat should be turned over after half the
cooking time.
4. PIERCING
Pierce potatoes, eggs, tomatoes or any foods with a skin or membrane to
allow steam to escape.
6. STANDING TIME
Standing time is important. After cooking or defrosting ensure adequate
standing time. This allows the food to continue cooking or heating.
Refer to cooking guides for each menu or according to manufacturers
instructions.
8. SIZE
Small pieces cook faster than large ones. To speed up cooking, cut pieces
smaller than 5 cm so microwaves can penetrate to the centre from all sides.
For even cooking, make all the pieces the same size.
10. FAT AND BONE
Marbling within meat, or a thin, even layer of fat on a roast, speeds cooking.
Large fatty areas or excess drippings in dish attract energy away from meat,
and slows cooking. Centre bones do not aect cooking, but bone on the
side of meat conducts heat to the areas next to it.
12. QUANTITY
Microwave cooking times are directly related to the amount of food in the
oven. Because energy is absorbed by the food itself, one potato or a single
piece of chicken cooks rapidly. When the energy is divided among several
items, cooking takes more time.
14. GENERAL
Your microwave oven is capable of heating food and beverages very quickly
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 suffi ciently heated evenly throughout.
