IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left
unattended during operation. Power
levels that are too high or cooking times
that are too long may overheat foods
resulting in a fire.

This oven is not designed to be built in to a kitchen unit.
The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so that
the unit can be unplugged easily in an emergency.
The AC power supply must be 230V, 50Hz, with a
minimum 16A distribution line fuse, or a minimum
16A distribution circuit breaker.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving
only this appliance be provided.
Do not place the oven in areas where heat is
generated. For example, close to a conventional oven.
Do not install the oven in an area of high humidity
or where moisture may collect.
Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke,
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and
unplug the oven and wait until the food
has stopped smoking. Opening the door
while food is smoking may cause a fire.

Use only microwave-safe containers and
utensils. See Page

X.

Do not leave the oven unattended when
using disposable plastic, paper or other
combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven
cavity, the turntable and roller stay after
use. These must be dry and free from
grease. Built-up grease may overheat
and begin to smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or
ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation
openings.
Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from
food and food packages. Arcing on metallic
surfaces may cause a fire.
Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep
frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and
the oil may catch fire.
To make popcorn, use only special microwave
popcorn makers.
Do not store food or any other items inside the oven.
Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure
the oven is operating as desired.
See the corresponding hints in this operation manual
and the cookery book section.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or
malfunctioning. Check the following before use:
a) The door; make sure the door closes properly and

ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b) The hinges and safety door latches; check to make sure

they are not broken or loose.

c) The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure that they

have not been damaged.

d) Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make sure there

are no dents.

e) The power supply cord and plug; ensure that they are

not damaged.

Never adjust , repair or modify the oven
yourself. It is hazardous for anyone
other than a competent person to carry
out any service or repair operation
which involves the removal of a cover
which gives protection against exposure
to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or
alter the door safety latches in any way.
Do not operate the oven if there is an object
between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up
on the door seals and adjacent parts.
Follow instructions for “Care and
Cleaning”, Page 19.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with
their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker
for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the
outer cabinet.
Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock
openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a
spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately, and
call an authorised SHARP service agent.
Do not immerse the power supply cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Do not let the power supply cord hang over the
edge of a table or work surface.
Keep the power supply cord away from heated
surfaces, including the rear of the oven.
Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or
allow anyone who is not an electrician authorised
by SHARP to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult
your dealer or an authorised SHARP service agent.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

Temperature of the container is not a true
indication of the temperature of the food or drink;
always check the food temperature.
Always stand back from the oven door when opening
to avoid burns from escaping steam and heat.
Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release
steam and avoid burns.
Keep children away from the door to prevent them
burning themselves.
Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear
cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,
accessories and dishes during GRILL mode,
DUAL GRILL mode and EXPRESS COOK
operation as they will become hot. Before
cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

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.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not
play with the oven or use it as a toy.
Children should be taught all important safety
instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of
food coverings; paying special attention to
packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to
make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Other warnings

Never modify the oven in any way.
Do not move the oven while it is in operation.
This oven is for home food preparation only and
may only be used for cooking food. It is not
suitable for commercial or laboratory use.

To promote trouble-free use of your oven
and avoid damage.

Never operate the oven when it is empty except
where recommended in the operation manual, see
Page 10 Note 2. Doing so may damage the oven.
When using a browning dish or self-heating
material, always place a heat-resistant insulator
such as a porcelain plate under it to prevent
damage to the turntable and roller stay due to heat
stress. The preheating time specified in the dish’s
instructions must not be exceeded.
Do not use metal utensils, which reflect microwaves
and may cause electrical arcing. Do not put cans
in the oven.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.
The exchange must be made by an authorised
SHARP service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and
sudden boiling:

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

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and
lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due
to a build up of pressure even after the oven has
been turned off.
Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide­mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Never heat liquids in narrow necked
containers such as baby bottles, as this
may result in the contents erupting from the
container when heated and cause burns.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and
possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar utensil

into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of cooking

time to prevent delayed eruptive boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and whole
hard boiled eggs should not be heated in
microwave ovens since they may explode
even after microwave cooking 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.

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages
and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing food
from the oven to prevent burns.
Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven
cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands to
avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food
temperature and stir before serving and
pay special attention to the temperature
of food and drink given to babies,
children or the elderly.

R-65STR English 07/09/2004 10:52 Page 5

Do not remove the protective film attached to

the inside of the door.

1. Remove all packing materials from the inside of the

oven cavity. Discard the loose polythene sheet
from between the door and cavity. Remove the
feature sticker, if attached, from the outside of the
door.

2. Check the oven carefully for any signs of damage.

3. Place the oven on a flat, level surface strong

enough to support the oven’s weight plus the
heaviest item likely to be cooked.

NOTE: If the power level is not selected, 100 P is automatically set.

Your oven has 5 power levels. To choose the power
level for cooking, follow the advice given in the
recipe section. Generally the following
recommendations apply:

100 P (800 W) used for fast cooking or reheating
e.g. soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,
vegetables, fish, etc.

70 P (560 W) used for longer cooking of dense
foods such as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals,
also for sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and
sponge cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will
not boil over and food will cook evenly without over
cooking at the sides.

50 P (400 W) for dense foods which require a
long cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg.
beef dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting
to ensure the meat will be tender.

30 P (240 W Defrost setting) 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.

10 P (80 W) For gentle defrosting, eg. cream
gateaux or pastry.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

SUITABLE OVENWARE, TIPS AND ADVICE

Microwaves are generated in the microwave oven by a magnetron and cause the water molecules in the
food to oscillate. Heat is generated by the friction which is caused, with the result that the food is thawed,
heated or cooked.

GLASS AND CERAMIC GLASS

Heat-resistant glass utensils are very
suitable. The cooking process can
be observed from all sides. They
must not, however, contain any
metal (e.g. lead crystal), nor have a
metallic overlay (e.g. gold edge,
cobalt blue finish).

CERAMICS

Generally very suitable. Ceramics must be glazed,
since with unglazed ceramics moisture can get into
the ceramic. Moisture causes the material to heat
up and may make it shatter. If you are not certain
whether your utensil is suitable for the microwave,
carry out the utensil suitability test. (See page 26).

PLASTIC AND PAPER CONTAINERS

Plastic or paper containers which
are designed for microwaves and
which can withstand heat are
suitable for defrosting, heating and

cooking. Please follow manufacturers’ instructions.

KITCHEN PAPER

can be used to absorb any moisture which occurs
in short heating methods, e.g. of bread or
products in bread crumbs. Insert the paper
between the food and the revolving plate. The
surface of the food will stay crispy and dry.
Covering greasy food with kitchen paper will
catch splashes.

MICROWAVE FOIL

This, or heat-resistant foil, is very suitable for
covering or wrapping. Please follow the
manufacturer's recommendations.

ROASTING BAGS

Can be used in a microwave oven. Metal clips are
not suitable for fastening them since the roasting
bag foil might melt. Fasten the roasting bag with

string and pierce it several times with a fork. Non
heat-resistant food wraps are not recommended for
use in a microwave oven.

BROWNING DISH

A special microwave dish made from ceramic glass
with a metal alloy base, which allows food to be
browned. When using the browning dish a suitable
insulator, e.g. a porcelain plate, must be placed
between the turntable and the browning dish. Be
careful to adhere exactly to the pre-heating time given
in the manufacturer's instructions. Excessive pre­heating can damage the turntable and the turntable
stand or can trigger the safety-device which will

switch off the oven.

METAL

Generally speaking, metal should

not be used, since microwaves do
not pass through metal and therefore cannot reach
the food. There are, however, exceptions: small
strips of aluminium foil may be used to cover
certain parts of the food, so that these do not thaw

too quickly or begin to cook (e.g.

chicken wings). Small metal skewers

and aluminium containers (e.g. of

readycooked meals) can be used.
They must, however, be small in relation to the
food, e.g. aluminium containers must be at least

2

/

3

to

filled with food. It is recommended that
you transfer the food into a dish suitable for use in
the microwave. When using aluminium containers
or other metal utensils there must be a gap of
approx. 2 cms between them and the walls of the
cooking area, otherwise the walls could be
damaged by possible arcing.

SUITABLE OVENWARE, TIPS AND ADVICE

NO UTENSIL SHOULD HAVE A METAL

overlay, or metal parts such as screws, bands or handles..

UTENSIL SUITABILITY TEST

If you are not sure whether your utensil is suitable

for use in your microwave oven,
carry out the following test: Place the
utensil into the oven. Place a glass

container filled with 150 ml of water
on or next to the utensil. Switch on the oven at
100 P power for 1 to 2 minutes. If the utensil stays
cool or just warm to the touch, it is suitable. Do not
use this test on a plastic utensil. It could melt.

GRILL FUNCTION

You can use any heat-resistant container for the
roasting/grilling function which is suitable for
conventional roasting methods, e.g. china,
ceramic, glass and metal containers.
In microwave cooking which requires the dish to
be roasted or grilled, or when using the combined
function, the containers must be suitable for
microwaves and heat-resistant. Suitable containers
are, for example, heat-resistant glass and ceramic
containers.

BEFORE YOU START...

To make it as easy as possible to use the
microwave oven we have put together a few hints
and tips for you. Only switch on the oven when the
food is already inside.

SETTING THE COOKING TIME

Defrosting, re-heating and cooking times are
generally much shorter than in a conventional
oven or hob. So you will need to consult this book
for the recommended cooking times. It is better to
set shorter rather than longer cooking times.
Always test the food after the cooking time has
elapsed. It is better then to continue cooking it for
a little longer, than to have overcooked food.

INITIAL TEMPERATURES

Thawing, heating and cooking times are dependent
upon the initial temperature of the food. Deep-frozen
food and food stored in a refrigerator, for example,
requires longer than food which has been stored at
room temperature. For heating and cooking, normal
storage temperatures are assumed (refrigerator
temperature approx. 5°C, room temperature approx.
20°C). For thawing the temperature of the deep
freeze is assumed to be -18°C.

COOKING TIMES

All the times given in this cookery book are
guidelines, which can be varied according to the
initial temperature, weight and condition of the
food (water or fat content etc.).

USING A FOOD THERMOMETER TO
DETERMINE COOKING TIME

Once cooked, every drink and every foodstuff has
a certain internal temperature at which the
cooking process can be switched off and the food
will be cooked. The internal temperature can be
ascertained with a food thermometer. The most
important temperatures are specified in the
temperature table.

ADDITION OF WATER

Vegetables and other foods with a high water content
can be cooked in their own juice or with the addition
of a little water. This ensures that many vitamins and
minerals are preserved.

FOOD IN SKINS OR SHELLS

Foods such as sausages, chickens, chicken legs,
baked potatoes, tomatoes, apples, egg yolks or such
like should be pricked or pierced with a fork or small
wooden skewer. This will enable the steam which
forms to dissipate without splitting the skin or shell.

TIPS AND ADVICE

FATTY FOODS

Fatty meat and layers of fat cook better than lean
portions of meat. Before cooking, cover the fatty
portions with a piece of aluminium foil or place the
food with the fat side down.

BLANCHING VEGETABLES

Before freezing vegetables, they should be
blanched. This preserves the quality and flavour
at their best. Method: wash and chop the
vegetables. Put 250g of vegetables in a dish with
275 ml water and cover. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
After blanching, immerse immediately in cold
water to prevent further cooking and then allow to
drain. Pack vegetables in an airtight container and
freeze.

PRESERVING FRUIT AND VEGETABLES

Using the microwave for preserving is quick and

easy. There are preserving jars,
rubber vacuum seals and suitable
seals made of plastic available

specially made for microwaves.
The manufacturers will supply precise instructions
for use.

LARGE AND SMALL QUANTITIES

Microwave times are directly dependent upon the
amount of food which you would like to thaw, heat
or cook. This means that small portions cook more
quickly than larger ones. As a rule of thumb:
TWICE THE AMOUNT = ALMOST TWICE THE TIME
HALF THE AMOUNT = HALF THE TIME

DEEP AND SHALLOW CONTAINERS

Both containers have the same capacity, but the

cooking time is longer for the deeper
one. You should therefore choose as
flat a container as possible with a

large surface area. Only use deep
containers for dishes where there is a danger of
overcooking, e.g. for noodles, rice, milk etc..

ROUND AND OVAL CONTAINERS

Food cooks more evenly in round or oval
containers than in containers with corners, since
the microwave energy concentrates in the corners
and the food in these areas could become
overcooked.

COVERING

Covering the food retains the moisture within it

and shortens the cooking time. Use
a lid, microwave foil or a cover.
Foods which are to be crispy, e.g.

roasts or chickens, should not be
covered. As a general rule, whatever would be
covered in a conventional oven should also be
covered in a microwave oven. Whatever would be
uncovered in a conventional oven can also be left
uncovered in a microwave oven.

IRREGULAR SHAPED FOOD

Place the thicker, more compacted end of the food

pointing towards the outside. Place

vegetables (such as broccoli) with

the stalks pointing outward.

STIRRING

Stirring the food is necessary, since the

microwaves begin by heating the

outer areas. The temperature is

thereby equalised and the food

heats up evenly.

ARRANGEMENT OF FOOD

Place a number of individual portions, such as
small pudding moulds, cups or potatoes in their
jackets, in a circle on the turntable. Keep the
portions at a distance from each other so that the
microwave energy can reach the food from all
sides.

TURNING

Medium-sized items, such as hamburgers and
steaks, should be turned over once during
cooking, in order to shorten the cooking process.
Large items, such as roasts and chickens, must be
turned, since the upper side receives more
microwave energy and could dry out if not turned.

STANDING TIME

Keeping to the standing time is one of the most

important rules with microwaves.

Almost all foods, which are thawed,

heated or cooked in the microwave,

require a certain amount of time to
stand, during which temperature equalisation takes
place and the moisture in the food is evenly
distributed.

HEATING

DEROSTING

Details for this can be found in the table:
Defrosting (see page 31). Your microwave is ideal
for thawing. Thawing times are usually
considerably shorter than in traditional methods.
Here are a few tips. Take the frozen item out of its
packaging and place on a plate for thawing.

BOXES AND CONTAINERS

Boxes and containers suitable for microwaves are
particularly good for thawing and heating food, since
they can withstand temperatures in a deep freeze
(down to approx. -40° C) as well as being heat­resistant (up to approx. 220° C). You can therefore
use the same container to freeze, thaw, heat and even
cook the food, without having to transfer it.

COVERING

Cover thin parts with small strips of
aluminium foil before thawing.
Thawed or warm parts should

likewise be covered with aluminium
strips during thawing. This stops the thin parts
becoming too hot while thicker parts are still frozen.

CORRECT SETTING

It is better to choose a setting which is too low
rather than one which is too high. By so doing you
will ensure that the food thaws evenly. If the
microwave setting is too high, the surface of the
food will already have begun to cook while the
inside is still frozen.

TURNING/STIRRING

Almost all foods have to be turned or
stirred from time to time. As early as
possible, separate parts which are
stuck together and rearrange them.

SMALL AMOUNTS...

thaw more quickly and evenly than larger ones.
We recommend that you freeze portions which are
as small as possible. By so doing you will be able
to prepare whole menus quickly and easily.

FOODS REQUIRING CAREFUL HANDLING,

Foods such as gateaux, cream, cheese and bread
should only be partially thawed and then left to
thaw completely at room temperature. By so doing
you will avoid the outer areas becoming too hot
while the inside is still frozen.

STANDING TIME

This is particularly important after thawing food, as
the thawing process continues during this period.
In the thawing table you will find the standing
times for various foods. Thick, dense foods require
a longer standing time than thinner foods or food
of a porous nature. If the food has not thawed
sufficiently, you may continue thawing it in the
microwave oven or lengthen the standing time
accordingly. At the end of the standing time you
should process the food as soon as possible and
not re-freeze it.

Details for this can be found in the table: Heating
food and drink (see page 30).

● Ready-prepared meals in aluminium containers

should be removed from the aluminium
container and heated on a plate or in a dish..

● Remove the lids from firmly closed containers.

● Food should be covered with microwave foil, a

plate or cover (obtainable from stores), so that
the surface does not dry out. Drinks need not be
covered.

● When boiling liquids such as water, coffee, tea

or milk, place a glass stirrer in the container.

● If possible, stir large quantities from time to time, to

ensure that the temperature is evenly distributed.

● The times are for food at a room temperature of

20° C. The heating time for food stored in a
refrigerator should be increased slightly.

● After heating allow the food to stand for 1-2

minutes, so that the temperature inside the food can
be evenly distributed (standing time).

● The times given are guidelines which can be varied

according to the initial temperature, weight, water
content, fat content or the result which you wish to
achieve.

COOKING FRESH VEGETABLES

COOKING GRILLING AND BROWNING

DEFROSTING AND COOKING

Details for this can be found in the table: Cooking
fresh vegetables (see page 32).

● When buying vegetables try to ensure that, as

far as possible, they are of similar size. This is
particularly important when you want to cook
the vegetables whole (e.g. boiled potatoes).

● Wash the vegetables before preparing them,

clean them and only then weigh the required
quantity for the recipe and chop them up.

● Season them as you would normally, but as a

rule only add salt after cooking.

● Add about 5 tbsps of water for 500 g of

vegetables. Vegetables which are high in fibre
require a little more water. You will find
information about this in the table.

● Vegetables are usually cooked in a dish with a

lid. Those with a high moisture content, e.g.
onions or boiled potatoes, can be cooked in
microwave foil without adding water.

● After half the cooking time has elapsed

vegetables should be stirred or turned over.

● After cooking allow the vegetables to stand for

approx. 2 minutes, so that the temperature
disperses evenly (standing time).

● The cooking times given are guidelines and

depend upon the weight, initial temperature and
condition of the type of vegetable in question.
The fresher the vegetables, the shorter the
cooking times.

Details for this can be found in the table: Cooking,
grilling and browning (see page 33).

● When buying food items, try to ensure that, as far

as possible, they are of similar size. This will
ensure that they are cooked properly.

● Before preparation wash meat, fish and poultry

thoroughly under cold running water and pat them
dry with kitchen paper. Then continue as normal.

● Beef should be well hung and have little gristle.

● Even though the pieces may be of a similar size,

cooking results may vary. This is due, amongst
other things, to the kind of food, variations in the
fat and moisture content as well as the temperature
before cooking.

● Turn large pieces of meat, fish or poultry half way

through the cooking time, so that they are cooked
evenly from all sides.

● After cooking cover roasts with aluminium foil and

allow them to stand for approx. 10 minutes
(standing time). During this period the roast carries
on cooking and the liquid is evenly distributed, so
that when it is carved a minimum amount of juice
is lost.

Deep-frozen dishes can be thawed and cooked at
the same time in one process in your microwave.
You will find some examples in the table. Do take
note, however, of the general advice given on
"heating" and "thawing" food.

Please refer to the manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging when preparing deep- frozen
dishes. These usually contain precise cooking times
and offer advice on preparation.

ADAPTING RECIPES FOR THE
MICROWAVE OVEN

If you would like to adapt your favourite recipes for the
microwave, you should take note of the following:
Shorten cooking times by a third to a half. Follow the
example of the recipes in this cookery book. Foods
which have a high moisture content such as meat, fish,
poultry, vegetables, fruit, stews and soups can be
prepared in your microwave without any difficulty.
Foods which have little moisture, such as platters of
food, should have the surface moistened prior to
heating or cooking.
The amount of liquid to be added to raw foods, which
are to be braised, should be reduced to about two
thirds of the quantity in the original recipe.
If necessary, add more liquid during cooking.
The amount of fat to be added can be reduced
considerably. A small amount of butter, margarine or

oil is sufficient to flavour food. For this reason your
microwave is excellent for preparing low-fat foods as
part of a diet.

HOW TO USE THE RECIPES

● All the recipes in this cookery book are

calculated on the basis of 4 servings - unless
otherwise stated.

● Recommendations relating to suitable utensils

and the total cooking times are given at the
beginning of every recipe.

● As a rule the quantities shown are assumed to

be wholly consumable, unless specifically
indicated otherwise.

● When eggs are given in the recipes they are

assumed to have weight of approx. 55 g
(medium).
