IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

1. This oven is designed to be used on a benchtop, on a shelf or built-in with a Sharp built-in kit. We do not recommend installing the oven under the benchtop or any other appliances. The appliance must not be placed in a cupboard. See page 5 for the installation. Place or mount the oven so that the bottom of the oven is 85 cm or more above the floor.

2. Ensure there is a minimum of free space above the oven of 15 cm. See page 5 for the other necessary spaces.

3. This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

• staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;

• farm houses;

• by clients in hotels, motels and other residential environments;

• bed and breakfast type environments It is not suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

4. The microwave oven is intended for heating food and beverages. Drying of food or clothing and heating of warming pads, therapeutic devices (eg. wheat bags), slippers, sponges, damp cloth and similar may lead to risk of injury, ignition or fire.

5. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

6. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

7. WARNING: Only allow children to use the oven without supervision when adequate instructions have been given so that the child is able to use the oven in a safe way and understands the hazards of improper use.

8. WARNING: If the door or door seals are damaged, the oven must not be operated until it has been repaired by an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician.

9. WARNING: Never adjust, repair or modify the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorised SHARP service agent or microwave technician to carry out any service or repair operation which involves the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy.

10. If the power supply cord of this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by a service centre approved by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard.

11. WARNING: Liquids and other foods must not be heated in sealed containers since they are liable to explode.

12. Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care must be taken when handling the container.

13. Eggs in their shell and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated on microwave modes since they may explode, even after microwave heating has ended. To cook or reheat eggs which have not been scrambled or mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites, or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice hard boiled eggs before reheating them in the microwave oven.

14. Utensils should be checked to ensure that they are suitable for use in the oven. See Page 2. Use only microwave safe containers and utensils on microwave modes.

15. Metallic containers for food and beverages are not allowed during microwave modes.

16. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption, in order to avoid burns.

17. When heating food in plastic or paper containers, keep an eye on the oven due to the possibility of ignition.

18. If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to stifle any flames.

19. The oven should be cleaned regularly and any food deposits removed.

20. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.

21. Failure to maintain the oven in a clean condition could lead to deterioration of the surface that could adversely affect the life of the appliance and possibly result in a hazardous situation.

22. The appliance must not be cleaned with a steam cleaner.

23. See instructions for cleaning door seals, cavities and adjacent parts on page 19.

24. Handle with care when removing items from the oven so that the turntable does not displace.

Page 6

Other warnings

1. To reduce the risk of fire in the oven cavity: a. Do not overcook food. b. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven. c. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled.

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 microwaves, 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 sufficiently heated evenly throughout. Additionally: a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Baby bottles fitted with a screw cap or teat are considered

to be sealed containers. b. Do not use excessive amounts of time. c. When boiling liquids in the oven, use a wide-mouthed container. d. Stand at least for 20 seconds at the end of cooking to avoid delayed eruptive boiling of liquids. e. 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 the 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 door safety latches.

7. Always use oven gloves 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.

8. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualified 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. To prevent the turntable from breaking:

a. Before cleaning the turntable with water, leave the turntable to cool. b. Do not place anything hot on a cold turntable. c. Do not place anything cold on a hot turntable.

12. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet.

13. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.

14. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

This product should not be disposed of in a general waste bin as it contains materials that

which is good for the environment.

If you are in doubt about the correct disposal method, contact your local council.

Information on Disposal

should be recycled,

Page 7

* Puncture egg yolks and whites and

oysters before cooking to prevent "explosion".

*Pierce skins of potatoes, apples,

squash, hot dogs, sausages and oysters so that steam escapes.

* Use specially bagged popcorn for the

microwave oven.

* Listen while popping corn for the

popping to slow to 1-2 seconds.

* Transfer baby food to small dish and

heat carefully, stirring often. Check for suitable temperature to prevent burns.

* Remove the screw cap and teat

before warming baby bottles. After warming shake thoroughly. Check for suitable temperature.

* Food with filling should be cut after

heating, to release steam and avoid burns.

* Use a deep microwave safe glass

bowl when cooking liquids or cereals to prevent boiling over.

* For boiling or cooking liquids see

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on page 2 to prevent explosion and delayed eruptive boiling.

* Remove food from can.

* Cook for the recommended time.

(These foods have high sugar and/or fat contents.)

* Use a microwave proof roasting rack

to collect drained juices.

* Check the utensils are suitable for

MICROWAVE cooking before you use them.

* Use to shield food to prevent over

cooking.

* Watch for sparking. Reduce foil or

keep clear of cavity walls.

* Place a suitable insulator such as a

microwave and heat proof dinner plate between the turntable and the browning dish.

Cook eggs in shells. This can cause the egg to "explode", which may damage

the oven or cause injury to yourself. * Cook hard/soft boiled eggs. * Overcook oysters. * Dry nuts or seeds in shells.

* Pop popcorn in regular brown bags or

microwave safe glass bowls. * Exceed maximum time on popcorn

package.

* Heat disposable bottles. * Overheat baby bottles.

Only heat until warm. * Heat bottles with teats on.

* Heat baby food in original jars.

* Heat or cook in closed glass jars or air

tight containers. * Deep fry fat.

* Heat or dry wood, herbs, wet papers,

clothes or flowers. * Operate the oven without a load (i.e. an

absorbing material such as food or wa-

ter) in the oven cavity.

* Heat for longer than recommended

time. See REHEATING-FOOD CHART

on page .

* Heat or cook food while in cans.

* Overcook as they may catch fire.

*Place meat directly on the turntable for

cooking.

* Use metal utensils for MICROWAVE

cooking. Metal reflects microwave

energy and may cause an electrical

discharge known as arcing.

* Use too much. * Shield food close to cavity walls.

Sparking can damage the cavity.

* Exceed the preheating time recom-

mended by the manufacturer. Exces-

sive preheating can cause the glass

turntable to shatter and/or damage

internal parts of the oven.

CARE AND CLEANING

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 affect 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 slightly dampened cloth 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 fire. Do not remove the waveguide cover. DO NOT USE A COMMERCIAL OVEN CLEANER, ABRASIVE OR HARSH CLEANERS AND SCOURING PADS 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.

Turntable/Roller Stay:

Wash with mild soapy water and dry thoroughly.

HINTS

• Always place the stems of vegetables – e.g. cauliflower, broccoli – toward the outside of the dish. The stems are tougher than the flower, so this will ensure even cooking.

• Ice-cream containers were made for freezing food and are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.

• Remember: When melting chocolate in the microwave oven, it holds its shape until stirred. Refer to MELT/ SOFTEN MENU GUIDE on page for instructions.

• Jams and chutneys are great when made in the microwave, as they retain their colour and flavour. As cooking time is so short, less evaporation occurs. Therefore pectin or a jam setting agent is required to make jam set.

• To obtain more juice from oranges, lemons or limes, prick skin, microwave 30 seconds on HIGH and stand 2 minutes before squeezing.

•Warm jam for a quick glaze. Heat 2-3 tablespoons for 30 seconds on HIGH; strain if necessary while hot.

• Soften cream cheese for dips or beating by removing foil wrapper and cooking for 1 minute on MEDIUM LOW.

• To melt marshmallows, place 100 g in a large bowl. Cook for 30 seconds on HIGH.

• To dissolve gelatine, mix 1 teaspoon gelatine with 2 tablespoons water and cook for 20-30 seconds on HIGH. Stir well.

• To blanch almonds place 100 g in a bowl with 1 cup of water. Cook for 5 minutes on HIGH.

•If brown sugar becomes hard, simply soften in the microwave oven. Place a cup at a time in a bowl with a slice of bread. Cover with plastic wrap and cook for 40 seconds on HIGH.

• Soften 6-8 honey-snap biscuits for 30 seconds on HIGH. Shape into base of patty dish for quick tartlet cases.

• Place a chocolate after-dinner mint on top of 6 patty cakes; arrange cakes evenly on turntable. Cook about 50-60 seconds on HIGH, or until chocolate is soft.

Gently spread chocolate mint evenly over patty cake for a quick icing.

• To soften honey, remove metal lid from jar and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.

• Stuffed mushrooms are a terrific idea. Provided the filling is cooked, twelve mushrooms placed on a layer of paper towel will take approximately 3 minutes to heat on HIGH.

• To remove odours, place 1-litre water with slice of lemon or 1 teaspoon vanilla essence in the microwave. Cook for 20 minutes on HIGH.

• As microwave cooking time is so quick, food should be seasoned to taste with herbs and spices after cooking.

• To peel a tomato, pierce the skin with a fork 3-4 times. Place on a rack and cook for 45-60 seconds on HIGH. Stand for 3 minutes before peeling.

• Lightly prick the skin of chicken before cooking. This prevents the loud popping noises.

• Peeling garlic is made easier by placing a clove in the microwave for 10 seconds on HIGH.

• Pierce the skin of chicken livers with a fork before cooking to prevent popping of the internal fat. Cover with paper towel when cooking.

• The flavour of wine in food is highlighted with the short microwave cooking time, so adjust the quantity to your taste.

• Tomato sauce can be warmed for 30 seconds on HIGH to give it a pouring consistency. (ensure lid is removed.)

• When cooking sauces in the microwave use less liquid: the absence of direct heat means sauces do not reduce as much as stovetop-prepared sauces.

• Rice and pasta cook well in small quantities. Use a large container to prevent boiling over.

• FOIL. Contrary to popular belief, foil can be used in the microwave – for shielding, not covering. It must not come in contact with the walls of the microwave.

Foil directs microwave energy away from delicate or thin areas of food, toward areas that need more cooking. It is essential for even defrosting. Place foil over the thawed sections, allowing the frozen portions to continue defrosting.

• To enhance the colour and flavour when roasting chicken, mix some brown sugar, honey and a little soy sauce together and brush both sides of poultry before and during cooking.

• To blanch vegetables for freezing, place 150 g of vegetables in a dish with 1 tablespoon of water. Cover and cook on HIGH for

/3 of the usual cooking time. After cooking, immerse immediately in iced water, package, label, and freeze for up to 3 months.

• Do not add salt to vegetables before cooking, as salt draws out the moisture and causes vegetables to toughen.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

MICROWAVES COOK FROM THE INSIDE OUT. They certainly do not. Microwaves penetrate foods from the outside to a depth of about 2.5 cm. Small foods, under 5 cm in diameter, are penetrated to the centre from all sides. With large foods, energy creates heat in the outer layer; then the heat moves to the centre by conduction, as it does conventionally. A few foods may appear to cook more on the inside. One example is an egg. Energy penetrates to the centre, where the fatty yolk becomes hotter than the white, and cooks quicker.

YOU CAN'T USE METAL IN A MICROWAVE OVEN. False. Metal reflects microwaves; the oven itself is made of

metal so microwave energy can't escape. Inside the oven, metal slows cooking because it keeps energy from reaching parts of the food. You can use the reflective properties of metal to protect foods which might overcook in some areas.

DISHES DON'T GET HOT IN A MICROWAVE OVEN. Keep your oven mitts handy. A microwave-safe utensil will

not be heated by microwave energy, but it will become hot from contact with hot food. Heat tends to equalise. A warm object heats the air around it, like a radiator in a cool room. When food becomes hot, some of this heat is transferred to the dish.

POINTS TO REMEMBER

As a general guide: HIGH – is ideal for vegetables, fruit, soup, beverages, bacon and sauces. MEDIUM HIGH – for roasting lamb, roasting chicken and fish fillets. MEDIUM – is for roasting beef, pork and simmering; great for casseroles or stews and cooking seafood. MEDIUM LOW – allows you to defrost. LOW – is used to keep foods warm once they are cooked.

• The more food in the microwave oven, the longer it takes to cook.

•

Reduce liquids in a microwave recipe because there is not as much evaporation, due to the shorter cooking time.

• Reduce seasonings slightly because flavours will be unbalanced by quantity of liquid. Do not add salt until the end of the cooking process.

• Microwaves cook from the outside to the centre, so when arranging foods always place the thicker or more dense portions of food at the outside, with the thinner, lessdense pieces on the inside.

•

Foil can be used in the microwave oven successfully.

Just remember two rules:

(a) There must be at least half of the food exposed to the microwaves.

(b) Do not let the foil touch the sides of the oven. Use foil to shield thinner parts of food when defrosting, to prevent over-cooking and drying out.

• All food continues to cook after it leaves the microwave

oven because the heat is stored in the food and not in the oven.

Standing time required will vary according to the volume and density of food.

e.g. Fish and vegetables – 1-5 minutes Cakes – 3-10 minutes Roasts – 10-15 minutes Cover foods with a lid or foil when standing.

•When reheating foods always cover with a lid, plastic

wrap or paper towel to prevent foods from drying out. Reheat on MEDIUM for best results.

• Always pierce food that has a membrane – for example

eggs, tomatoes, potatoes and kidneys.

• Remember to cover vegetables with a lid or plastic wrap

when cooking.

DEFROSTING

Thawing food, especially meats, using the microwave oven is not only faster than any other method but it can also give better results.

Once frozen meat is thawed, it begins to lose its juices.

With a microwave oven you can thaw meat just before you plan to cook it, thus preserving the quality.

Microwave thawing doesn't mean a lot of fuss, but some attention is needed to make sure that parts of food do not start to cook before the centre is thawed. MEDIUM LOW is fast enough to be convenient but gentle enough to give good results.

POULTRY Start thawing poultry breast-side down; shield warm areas

and turn over halfway through defrosting. Let poultry stand 30 to 60 minutes after thawing, until giblets and neck can be removed and breast meat under wings is completely thawed.

CUTS OF MEAT Break up or separate minced beef, cubed meat, chicken

pieces or fish fillets after one-third of thawing time. Remove any thawed pieces. Place remainder in baking dish to complete thawing. Turn over roasts, steaks, chops or chicken. Separate as soon as possible.

JOINTS Turn over large roasts halfway through defrosting. As you

turn, touch the meat to find warm areas and shield these with small pieces of foil. Let roasts stand 30 to 45 minutes after defrosting time. Thaw meats and poultry only until they can be pierced in the centre with a skewer. Surface or cavity should feel cool but not icy. Cook as soon as possible to prevent loss of juices.

REHEATING

Foods reheated in the microwave oven taste freshly cooked, not reheated. Suit the power level to the food. A bowl of leftover vegetables can be reheated at HIGH, while lasagne, which contains sensitive cheese and cannot be stirred, should be reheated at MEDIUM HIGH or MEDIUM.

CASSEROLES Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Stir several times

during reheating, especially if casserole has been refrigerated. If casserole cannot be stirred, reheat at MEDIUM.

MEATS Medium to thin slices reheat best. Cover meat with sauce

or gravy. Cover with microwave plastic wrap to hold in heat. Reheat on MEDIUM.

PLATES OF FOOD Arrange food with thickest parts of meat and bulky vegetables

to outside of the plate. Place quick-to-heat foods in the centre. Cover with microwave plastic wrap. Reheat on MEDIUM.

VEGETABLES Wrap large, whole vegetables in microwave plastic wrap.

Cover dishes of vegetables and stir during reheating, if possible.

COOKWARE AND UTENSIL GUIDE

GLASSWARE

•Ordinary glass is not suitable for cooking but may be used for short periods for heating foods. CERAMIC

•Most ovenproof china, and ceramics, are suited.

•Avoid dishes that are decorated with gold or silver leaf.

•Avoid using antique pottery.

• If unsure, check with the manufacturer.

•Metal cookware should be avoided when cooking in the microwave oven.

•Microwave energy is reflected by metal.

•Plastic wrap can be used to cover food.

•Some shrinkage of the wrap may occur, over an extended cooking time.

•When removing wrap, lift it in such a way to avoid steam burns.

• Do not tie oven bags with metal twist ties, substitute with string.

• For cooking food with high fat content, do not bring the wrap in contact with the food as it may melt.

• Small amounts may be used to shield certain parts of meat and fish when cooking or defrosting.

• Remove food in foil trays, if possible, and place in a microwave safe dish.

• If not possible, place the foil tray onto a heat proof plate allowing 2.5 cm between the walls of the oven.

•Excessive over heating of these materials may cause a fire in the microwave oven.

•Paper towels and waxed paper are suitable to use to prevent splatters.

• These are suitable for use when reheating foods or for short cooking times.

• Ideal for cooking, reheating and defrosting.

•Some microwave safe plastic cookware are not suitable for cooking foods with high fat and sugar content.

•Ensure that the preheating time of the dish is not exceeded.

•Ensure that a microwave heat proof dinner plate or suitable insulator be placed between the turntable and the browning dish.

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 affect 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 sufficiently heated evenly throughout.

1. THE ARRANGEMENT Arrange foods carefully. Place thickest areas toward outside of 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.

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 food's

density. Porous foods like minced beef or mashed potatoes microwave faster than dense ones like steak or whole potatoes.

11. STARTING TEMPERATURE Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer to heat than food at room tempera-

ture. Cooking times in this book are based on normal storage temperatures. Since rooms, refrigerators and freezers differ 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 influence 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.
