IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS : READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
To reduce the risk of fi re in the oven cavity:
b. Do not overcook food. c. Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags before placing bag in the oven. d. Do not heat oil or fat for deep frying. The temperature of the oil cannot be controlled. e. 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.
f. 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. When the appliance is operated in the Grill/Combi and Convection modes, children should only use the oven under adult supervision due to the temperature generated. 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.
WARNING

Rearrange
Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting. Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas. This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Separate
Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate
Shield
Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which
ect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Stand
Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.
Turn over
It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% 10%.
Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all. It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.
ENGLISH

COOKING AND UTENSIL GUIDE
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.

Grill Convection Mix Cook Comments
Aluminium foil / Foil containers
/
✔✔
/
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 recommended unless specied by the manufacturer, e.g. Microfoil®, follow instructions carefully.
Browning dishes
✔✘✘✘
Always follow the manufacturers instructions. Do not exceed heating times given. Be very careful as these dishes become very hot.
China and ceramics

WARNING:
When heating food in plastic or paper containers, monitor the oven due to the possibility of ignition.
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.

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.
