IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. To reduce the risk of ﬁ re 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. d. Look at the oven from time to time when food is heated in disposable containers made of plastic,

paper or other combustible materials for signs of smoke or burning.

e. If materials inside the oven should ignite, or smoke is observed, keep oven door closed, turn oven

off, and disconnect the power plug, or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel. To reduce the risk of an explosion or delayed eruptive boiling when handling the container. 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. Additionally:

a. Do not place sealed containers in the oven. Babies bottles ﬁ tted with a screw cap or teat are

considered to be sealed containers.

b. Do not use excessive amount 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. This oven is for home food preparation only and should only be used for heating, cooking and defrosting food and beverage. It is not suitable for commercial, laboratory use, or heating therapeutic devices eg. Wheat bags. Never operate the oven whilst any object is caught or jammed between the door and the oven. Do not try to adjust or repair the oven yourself. It is hazardous for anyone other than a qualiﬁ ed service technician trained by SHARP to carry out any service or repair operation. Especially those which involve the removal of a cover which gives protection against exposure to microwave energy are very hazardous. Do not operate the oven if it is not working correctly or damaged until it has been repaired by a qualiﬁ ed service technician trained by SHARP. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to: (1) Door (warped), (2) Hinges and Latches (broken or loosened), (3) Door Seals, Sealing Surfaces and oven cavity (buckled or deformed), (4) Burn marks on the door seal faces. Do not bump, or catch utensils, loose clothes and your accessories on the door safety latches when removing food from the oven. Never poke an object, particularly a metal object, through a grille or between the door and the oven while the oven is operating. Never tamper with or deactivate the door safety latches. 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. Should the power supply cord become damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord supplied by a SERVICE CENTRE APPROVED BY SHARP and it must be replaced by a qualiﬁ ed service technician trained by SHARP in order to avoid a hazard. If the oven lamp fails please consult your dealer or a qualiﬁ ed service technician trained by SHARP. 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. 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. 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. Do not place anything on the outer cabinet. Do not store food or any other items inside the oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking. 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. 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. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Generally the following recommendations apply:

- (HIGH) used for fast cooking or reheating

e.g. for casseroles, hot beverages, vegetables etc.

- (MEDIUM HIGH) used for longer cooking of dense foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for sensitive dishes such as sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the food will cook evenly without over cooking at the sides.

- (MEDIUM) for dense foods which require a long cooking time when cooked conventionally, e.g. beef casserole, it is advisable to use this power setting to ensure the meat will be tender.

- (MEDIUM LOW) to defrost, select this power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice, pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

- (LOW) For gentle defrosting, e.g. cream

gateaux or pastry.

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately,

see below.

Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and

and reheat on 70%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Sliced meat lm and reheat on 50%.

Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Poultry portions Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover

lm and reheat on 70%.

Turn over halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Casseroles lm or a suitable lid and reheat

on 50%. Stir frequently to ensure even reheating. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.

NOTES:

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating. ected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the

size, shape and material of the container.

WARNING:

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

•

re, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content,

e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.

re.

• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the

can.

WARNING:

The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

• 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 reﬂ ected 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 ﬁ sh 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 ﬁ re 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.

COOKING AND UTENSIL GUIDE

Page 22

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.

Use to cover foods:

5. SHIELDING

Shield using small pieces of aluminium foil to shield thin areas of meat, ﬁ sh

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 temperature.

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 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 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 sufﬁ ciently heated evenly throughout.
