MICROWAVE

POWER LEVEL

START/

AUTO MINUTE



TIME / WEIGHT

W ater, sugar and fat in food absorb microwaves and causes their molecules to vibrate. This creates heat by friction, in the same way your hands get warm when you rub them together. The outer areas of food are heated by microwave energy and the remaining portions by conduction. It is important to turn, rearrange or stir food to ensure even heating. Where recommended, allow food to stand, this is not optional but is necessary to ensure thorough cooking. It is particularly important for dense food, such as joints of meat.

HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN

Opening and closing the door:

• To open oven door, press the door opening button.

• The oven lamp will light when the door is open.

• Close the door firmly and the lamp will go out.

MICROW AVE COOKING: EXAMPLE:

To melt 50g (2oz) butter on 100% (HIGH) power for 30 seconds. Place the butter in a suitable dish. Place on turntable and close the door.

NOTES:

• Microwaves pass through non-metallic dishes and utensils and heat the food inside the dishes.

• Microwaves are reflected by metal.

• The oven is lined with metal and has a fine metallic

mesh in the door to prevent microwave leakage.

• Metallic dishes are not suitable for microwaving.

• See SUIT ABLE COOKWARE, page 22-23.

W ARNING:

Always operate the oven with the turntable and support fitted correctly , see page 2. This promotes thorough even cooking.

OVEN COOKING

OVEN (°C)

Your oven can be programmed to cook with seven different temperatures by combining the upper and lower grills.

The temperatures available in degrees Centigrade are:

200°C, 180°C, 160°C, 130°C, 100°C, 70°C, 40°C.

NOTES:

• Oven cooking is ideal for cooking buns, biscuits and scones. See recipes pages 49-50.

• When using the oven facility , all metal cookware can be used. See SUITABLE COOKW ARE pages 22-23. T o

achieve the best results when cooking by OVEN, always use the low metal rack for one layer cooking.

• To convert recipes normally cooked using a convection oven:

• use the OVEN facility

• decrease cooking temperature by approx. 50 - 60°C.

This is necessary due to the additional heat generated during dual operation of the upper and lower grills. If food is not cooked within the normal cooking time, add an extra 5mins then check again.

Repeat this until food is cooked.

EXAMPLE:

– Convection cooking: Apple Pie 220°C for 20 minutes. – OVEN facility: Apple Pie 160°C for 20 minutes.

EXAMPLE:

To bake on the low rack at 160°C for 20 minutes.

COOKING ADVICE / SUITABLE COOKWARE

W ARNING - Always attend the oven when in use. Carefully follow the SHARP Operation Manual at all times. If you exceed recommended cooking times and/or use power levels that are too high, food may overheat, burn, and in extreme circumstances, catch fire and damage the oven.

• The microwave power level will default to 100% HIGH unless you press the MICROWAVE POWER LEVEL button to reach the desired setting. T ake care when heating foods with high sugar or fat content, e.g, Christmas pudding, mince pies and fruit cakes. Before use, check that utensils are suitable for use in microwave ovens.

• Lids: Always remove lids from food jars and containers before using them in the oven. If you do not, steam and pressure will build up inside and the container may explode. T ake care when heating contents in babies bottles, see page 23 & 26.

• Eggs in their shells and whole hard boiled eggs should not be heated in microwave ovens since they explode even after microwave heating has ended. Do not heat canned potatoes in the microwave oven as they may burst.

• Do not place hot foods/utensils on a cold turntable, or cold foods/utensils on a hot turntable.

For microwaving, use only those utensils suitable for microwave cookery as indicated below .

A variety of cookware can be used for microwaving. Round/oval dishes rather than square/oblong ones are recommended, as food in the corners tends to overcook.

COOKWARE

Heat resistant glass, (e.g. Pyrex®, Fire King®, Corning Ware ®).

Microwave-safe plastic cookware.

Microwave cling film, microwave roasting bags.

Heat-resistant china and ceramics.

Disposable containers: Thin plastic, paper, straw and wooden containers.

SUITABLE FOR MICROWAVING GRILL OVEN

YES

Microwave cling film and bags must be vented for steam to escape, pierce in 4-5 places. Do not use plastic or metal ties as they may melt or catch fire due to ‘arcing’.

YES

Except for dishes with metallic decoration.

YES

Always attend the oven closely. Look at the oven from time to time when cooking or reheating food in disposable containers of plastic, paper or other combustible material. Only use for warming food. Pay special attention as over-heating may cause a fire in your oven.

YES

Kitchen paper.

YES

Always attend the oven closely. Only use to absorb fat and moisture when warming food. Pay special attention as overheating may cause a fire in your oven.

SUITABLE COOKWARE (Continued)

COOKWARE

Browning dishes & self-heating packages.

Metal cookware.

Aluminium foil & foil containers, made from "Micro Foil®".

Metal racks.

SUITABLE

YES

Always place on an up-turned plate on the turntable to prevent heat stress. Follow manufacturer's instructions. Be careful as these become very hot. Popcorn: Only use microwave popcorn within recommended packaging (follow popcorn manufacturer's instructions). Never use oil unless the manufacturer recommends and never cook for longer than instructed.

YES

Use small pieces of aluminium foil to shield food from overheating. Keep foil at least 2cm from the oven walls. Foil containers are not recommended unless specified by the manufacturer, eg. MicroFoil ®, follow instructions carefully .

YES

The metal rack supplied has been specially designed for all cooking modes and will not damage the oven.

FOR MICROWAVING

GRILL OVEN

YES

Metal trays may be used.

YES

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION

Face & Hands: Always use oven gloves to remove food or cookware from the oven. Stand back

when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling -film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

Check the temperature of food and drink and stir (before serving). Take special care when serving babies, children or the elderly . The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars should be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before consumption to avoid burns.

Stir , turn & stand:

For even cooking stir, turn or rearrange food during cooking. Where recommended, leave food to stand after cooking or defrosting.

Initial and final temperature of food:

The initial temperature of food affects the amount of cooking time needed, eg. chilled food requires more cooking than food at room temperature. The temperature of the container is not a true indication of the temperature of the food or drink. Cut into foods with fillings, for example, jam doughnuts, to release heat or steam.

FOOD HANDLING & PREPARATION (Continued)

Composition

& quality

Piercing

Arrangement

Covering

Food high in fat or sugar (Christmas pudding, mince pies) requires less heating time and should be watched, over-heating can lead to fire. Use good quality ingredients for microwaving. Economical cuts of meat can be used for casseroles.

Food with skin (e.g. potatoes, apples, fish, sausages, chicken), or with membrane (e.g egg whites/yolks), must be pierced in several places before cooking or reheating. If not, steam will build up and may cause food to explode. When cooking eggs using “the Breakfast button”, it is not necessary to pierce the yolks, as the programme uses grill only .

Place thickest parts of food on the outside of the dish, e.g. place meaty ends of chicken drumsticks on the outside of the dish.

Fish, vegetables and certain other foods benefit from being covered during microwave cookery, follow recommendations where given and use vented microwave cling-film or a suitable lid.

Size & shape

Density &

quantity

Hygiene

Food size and shape affects the amount of cooking time needed. When cooking more than one portion of the same food ensure they are of a similar size and shape.

Food density and quantity affect the amount of cooking time needed, for example, potatoes require more cooking than peas; four potatoes will take longer to cook than two.

Food hygiene standards (storage, handling and preparation) apply to microwaving. Always store convenience foods as recommended by the food manufacturer and keep no longer than the "Use By" date.

ADVICE FOR DEFROSTING

Meat joints

Poultry

Steak, Chops

& Chicken

Portions

Cubed &

Minced Meat

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 4-5 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, flat pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow meat to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted.

Place in a flan dish, turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting, shield any warm areas with small, pieces of foil. After defrosting, wrap in foil and allow poultry to stand for 45-60 minutes, until thoroughly defrosted. NOTE: Do not defrost poultry with giblets.

Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and turn over at least 2-3 times. Shield if necessary.

Place in a bowl, stir or turn over at least 3-4 times during defrosting, remove defrosted parts each time. For frozen blocks of meat see ‘Minced Beef’ in the charts on page 27.

Whole Fish

& Fillets

Prepacked

Frozen Foods

Place in a flan dish, separate during defrosting and turn over at least twice. Shield if necessary.

Remove packaging, including any foil and place in a suitable dish.

NOTES:

• T o defrost food, use either 30% MEDIUM LOW/DEFROST or 10% LOW microwave power.

• Shield warm areas with small pieces of foil if necessary.

• It is important to turn food over, separate (where appropriate) and rearrange to ensure even defrosting.

• Standing time is necessary to ensure thorough defrosting.

ADVICE FOR REHEATING

W ARNINGS: Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back

when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.

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

• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.

• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together

with the size, shape and material of the container.

• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies, Christmas pudding.

• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the can.
